DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION CLUBS of AMER- ICA were open to anyone enrolled in a marketing class. The goal of DECA was to give students better marketing career opportunities, create responsibility through com- munity affairs, show creativity and build leadership skills. Steve Urbach and Susan Hoffman were the spon- sors of the group. DECA was also involved in many activities. An inner city day care center visit, a district picnic, Katherine candy sale, Career Day, and the sale of Ghost-O-Grams were a few. Competitions were also a very important part of Deca. Students could start their own marketing research projects, which gave them a chance to show creativity with sales ability. They competed against 10 other high schools in the area. VOCATIONAL INDUSTRIAL CLUBS of AMER- ICA was sponsored by Renee Boyd. lts purpose was to develop student leadership skills through hands on train- ing in technical, industrial and health care education. VICA also took part in such activities as selling candy bars for various charities participating in Old Newsboy Day, and sponsoring an employers appreciation ban- quet. VICA also had competitions in March. They compet- ed in Districts, followed by state competition in April. For those students enrolled in business courses or interested in the business field, there was FUTURE BUSINESS LEADERS of AMERICA. sponsored by Ann Moss. Similar to DECA and VICA, FBLA enou- craged students to have an active role in leadership positions. Activities that FBLA took part in were Fund raisers for the Post-Dispatch's hundred neediest families, and a Christmas party for the children at the Salvation Army Residence Children's home. To help finance their activi- ties, FBLA sold calenders. In order to get a clearer understanding of the way Monsanto was operated, they toured the facilities. With these three business oriented clubs, students were able to become involved in some aspects of the business world. Student Life VICA officers-Front Row: David M.

In addition, over S650 was raised through fun- draisers to benefit Children's Hospital. Student Council planned an outstanding program which was held this year during the week of December 8-12. Many speakers came to Parkway Central to discuss topics of concern, such as anorexia and bulimia feat- ing disordersl, AIDS, hunger in St. Louis, suicide prevention, in addition to slide pro- grams depicting graphic scenes of drunk- related teenage driving accidents. Also, a panel of students, who are recovering chemical dependents, told of their own per- sonal encounters with chemicals. Aside from the many speakers, student council had fundraisers each day. The fresh- men had a Rent-a-Freshmen day, the sopho- mores had a dating service and a bake sale, the juniors walked around collecting money, while the seniors had an auction of services, such as valet parking, free lunches, dinner with Assistant Principal David Stauffer, and others. The week officially ended with a balloon Iiftoff on Friday. More money was raised during this Student Awareness Week than any of the previous ones. Student Council presented a check to Childern's Hospital for M Q fgy-f i,r ft HMtN 3650. Reflecting about this successful fun- draiser, Stauffer said, Student Awareness Week is an outstanding opportunity for stu- dents to come to grips first hand with risk issues that are affecting them now or will affect them in the future.
