DECA DECA, the PHS chapter of Distribu- tive Education Clubs of America, is a unique organization. Members spend about half their school day working in businesses which deal with marketing or distribution. Students learn to think in terms of the market place, and in terms of practical experience for jobs to come after high school. As a club, DECA worked together to achieve a goal: success in marketing a product or item. The group ran the school store, providing candy and school supplies before school and at lunch. They also sold ice cream to raise money. Another activity in which students par- ticipated, quite willingly, was the group s party, held at the end of the year. 1.

Spiritually The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is an organization which allows stu- dents to bring Christ's word into their daily activities. A member of FCA does not have to be an athlete. Anyone who wants to learn more about Christ is encouraged to join. FCA had many activities during the year. These activities were directed at helping the community and they also had parties for themselves. The members met every Monday morn- ing and listened to sponsor Jim Dailey talk about Christ's importance in their lives. After the meeting, members were some- times treated to milk and donuts. Some of the parties FCA had were at Hal- loween and at Christmas. For the Hallow- een party, everyone met at junior Sheralyn Mott's house to eat and watch movies. In December, FCA had a Christmas party held in the commons. Everyone brought something to eat and a gift to exchange with fellow members. Everyone sat down and sang Christmas carols, and afterward, Dailey read the story of the birth of Christ from the Bible. FCA helped the youth of Pflugerville by refereeing at their basketball games. Mem- bers received $2.50 for each game they ref- ereed, and another $2.50 went towards the club. At the end of the season, the Youth League presented FCA with a plaque, and a check to show their appreciation. Fellowship of Christian Athletes is more than an organization; it stands for involve- ment of students and community. Accord- ing to sponsor Jim Dailey, the true purpose of FCA is for the members to set an exam- ple for other students. I feel that FCA helped the stu- dents grow spiri- tually. It helps the whole school stay together, when they needed to. The whole school has benefited from FCA,” said spon- sor Jim Dailey.

HECE Home Economics Career Education is a work program offered for students who want to work while they go to school. The class is open to juniors and seniors who are at least 16 years old. Students learn how to become better employees through classroom instruction as well as on-the-job training. The key to success in the HECE pro- gram is ambition, since students must want to succeed and some of them even had to come to school at approximately 7:30 for “zero hour class. The traditional fund raising activity for HECE is the Valentines Day sale of carnations. This year's sale was a success as members delivered carnations to first period classes. HECE ended the year with its tradi- tional banquet, recognizing outstanding members as well as outstanding employ- 1.
