Motivated elite teezebef .ftitelentf workmetmbip while giving in to fini and lezztglater .rbetreei WITH OTHERS DECA fDistributive Education Clubs of Americal prepared mo- tivated people for marketing ca- reers and familiarized future lead- ers with many job related skills such as merchandizing, market- ing, distribution, sales, wholesal- ing, and retailing. NDECA offered its members with an awareness of leadership development, civic consciousness, vocational understanding, and so- cial awarenessf' said Scott Jack- son f12l. Students involved in the program went to school in the morning and to work in the af- ternoon at jobs that suited their choice of career and abilities. DECA helped students meet the public on a one-to-one level, teaching them the responsibilities of employees, management, and super- visory positions. Students involved in DECA re- ceived valuable experience in busi- ness affairs by training in department stores, service stations, supermarkets, warehouses, and oth- er community departments. DECA participated in the annual Adopt-a-Family program during the Christmas season by taking physical- ly and mentally handicapped children from the Crossroads Center to the Shrine Circus for a day of fun. The kids were really great,', said Mr. Jon Bradford, sponsor of DECA. They were fun to be around and we all had a really good time being with them. DECA enjoyed a full year of par- ties, pig-outs, and get togethers. The club took numerous field trips to restaurants, including a pizza pig-out at Pizza Inn, a luncheon in Las Colinas, and a trip to Thunderbumpers in Euless. I hope next year is even bet- ter. If it's only half as good as this year, lim sure it will be another banner year, said Mr, Jon Brad- ford. Charissa Smith and Tonya Davis.
