The only pre- requisite was marketing. This class gave instruction in basic business principles. In co-op they learned merchandising techniques which could be applied on their iobs. During National DECA Week the club sold novelties in the cafeteria, such as stuffed animals, dolls and flowers. They also distributed pamphlets to the stu- dent body.
