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.

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.
