Vocational clubs teach job skills Vocational Industrial Clubs of America IVICAI have more than 40,000 members throughout the United States. Many dif- ferent clubs make up the National VICA program including those at Round Rock High. Local VICA members entered district and state skills contests as individuals or in teams. There were also various functions for VICA members throughout the school year. Industrial Cooperative Training QICTI, Building Trades and Drafting were among the VICA clubs at Round Rock High School. VICA-ICT helped students to earn money and learn a skill at the same time. ICT students attended school for the first half of the school day and then worked on an in- dustrial job for the remainder of the day. During their school hours, ICT members learned many things in class ranging from first aid to income taxes and budgets. ICT members also went to District, where Paul Stinson, senior, took first place in auto parts and Arthur Bucher won second in an electrical skills contest. Sixteen other ICT students won first and second place prizes at an industrial displays contest. Preparing students for drafting related jobs was the task of the VICA-Drafting club and class. Led by sponsor Bob Fredley, Round Rock and Westwood drafting club members drew up plans for residential homes to be built by area builders. These students also submitted their plans for the design and working drawings of a residential home. VICA-Building Trades taught leadership skills through application of skills. Round Rock students built bookcases for RRHS and Purple Sage Elementary School. They also built some portable classrooms and a shop building. In addition to the building of projects, each student made a project to take to con- test. RRHS had eleven first place winners, and ten second and third place winners at competition. First place winners went on to competitive statewide competition in Houston April 26-28. Organizations 121
