. Profit-making Was The 'Name Of The Game' For Three OHS Clubs Fund-raising programs, state con- ventions and competition were among the activities of the three vocational oriented clubs at OHS. Distributive Education Club of America QDECAJ, Future Homemak- ers of America KFHAJ and the Horti- culture Club were active in a variety of ways in 1977-78. Under the sponsorship of Nancy Graham, Leslie Barnhart, and Bill Lit- tle, DECA received 11 trophies at the DECA Regional Convention. The State Conference was held in Louisville at the Galt House March 10-12. Karen Wallis and Kevin Parks received a certificate for ranking high in their division. Sandra Kimmel, president of DECA, was named outstanding DECA member. The DECA Sweetheart pageant was not held this year since it is no longer a state event, but Karen Foster was se- lected by her classmates to enter the regional competition. Candy sales and a bazaar were among the money-making activities of DECA. Another working club, the Future Homemakers of America, led by president Latonya Little and sponsor Sandra Meschko, held bake sales, kitchen stationary sales and hosted the regional FHA meeting on April 25. Sherry Chapman, Holly Brown and instructor Susan Cornett attended the statewide FHA meeting at the Galt House in Louisville on April 21-22. FHA is a club for what the name implies - future homemakers. The horticulture students, under the direction of newcomer Ronnie Cooper, had a busy year. A Christmas poinsetta sale profit- ted 52,000 for horticulture. A spring plant sale also netted considerable profit. Participation in the State Fair com- petition highlighted the year for the horticulutre members. They were awarded six trophies during the event held April 22-23 in Louisville. - By Scot Gaither 7 fClubs And Organizations ....- --y-..-.-..-1......-..f..W..,.,.,.,,, OHS Sophomore Kath O'Heam is attempting to keep the stock o egonias healthy in the horticulture department as she supplies them with their daily watering.
