--ooD[][] |yb PODo - Being of service to the college, as well as the community, is the main goal behind the members of the Sales and Marketing Club, also known as Deca. Under the leadership of Mrs. Ruthanna Widdows of the Business Department, Deca members get in- volved in whatever they possibly can. For example, last semester the Deca activites included collecting can goods at Thanksgiving and distributing them to less fortunate families, collab- orating with the YWCA in working with abused wives and children, organ- izing the annual fashion show spon- sored by Deca that is open to every- one, and various other services that the school may request them to do. Deca, along with Phi Theta Kappa, the honorary fraternity, get involved in a blood drive for the community each year. Each spring, the March of Dimes Organization gets a great deal of support from the Deca students. Spring activities also includes involve- ment in the Homecoming activities, student government, and competition in the annual state Deca convention. Students compete at the state level and the winners go on to the national level and compete with 37 other states each summer. Last year. Palm Beach Junior College sent students to the state convention, and just as in past years, these students qualified to continue on to the national convention. This year ' s Dan Hendricks- advisor to the Phi Theta Kappa DECA Club convention will be held in Houston, Texas and Palm Beach Junior College Deca students will be there for competition. How do full time students, that have part time jobs find time to get all of these activities and services accom- plished? Well, the key to their success is determination, hard work, and a faithful sponsor like Mrs. Widdows who is willing to devote her time. If involvement and good times is what you are interested in, Deca is inter- ested in you!!!! Since 1918, tne national organ- ization of Phi Theta Kappa, a honorary fraternity, has recognized intellectual achievement in American two-year junior colleges. The organ- ization establishes local chapters of Phi Theta Kappa, which is part of the national organization. Palm Beach junior College is part of the Delta Omicron Chapter. In the past few years, the south and north campuses of Palm Beach Junior College were chartered as independent chapters, and according to sponsor Dan Hen- dricks of the Business Department, the Glades campus is presently seeking chartcrship. Membership in Phi Theta Kappa is of the junior college student who has established academic excell- ence of at least a 3.2. Each year, the national organ- ization establishes a theme for tlie local chapters to work by. This year ' s theme is entitled, A man ' s brilliant future, a time for creativity. Phi Tlieta Kappa also has an annual state convention. Last fall, Palm Beach Junior College was elected the state chapter, as well as receiving recogni- tion for various other activities. To say that Phi Theta Kappa members stay busy is a slight under- statement. Mainly, Phi Theta Kappa tries to be of service to the college and community. How you ask? Well, Phi Theta Kappa members can be seen as ushers at school plays or at commencement. In collaboration with Deca, Phi Theta Kappa members are working for the annual blood drive in Palm Beach County. Other services and activities are carried out during the year to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Phi Theta Kappa is also acknowledged by the school as being available to help whenever necessary. Proof of Phi Theta Kappa members academic excellence can be seen through the tutorial program that is available to the students at Palm Beach Junior College. Tutors are available in any subject upon request free of charge. Phi Theta Kappa, with the help of Florida Atlantic University, also aw- ards two scholarships for transfer stu- dents to Florida Atlantic University each year. As you can sec, Phi Theta Kappa is working to keep involved and busy. Does having good grades mean being a bookworm? OF COURSE NOT!!! L Amelia Mcintosh 7
