Students in DECA prepare for jobs There is no better way to prepare a young person for a career in marketing or business management than the Marketing and Distributive Education Clubs of America, said Mrs. Dorothy Kay Sullivan, DECA l teacher. In DECA, students learned about the working world while they gained experience in the field in which they were interested. Most DECA students worked half of each school day, getting out of school early to go to their jobs. If the DECA students chose not to go on the half day work plan, they par- ticipated in a DECA Lab program and DECA II. In the DECA Lab, students learned marketing principles designed to help them with their future careers. DECA students also worked on class projects and entered several areas of com- petition on both the regional and state levels. As a special project, the DECA students raised money for Spina Bifida and worked to educate the community about the effects of the birth defect.

JROTC cadets go on California trip JROTC cadets put many hours of hard work into their training, but the program was not all work. April 29-May 5, JROTC members traveled to San Diego, California, for an orientation visit to Marine Corps facilities in southern California. While there, cadets toured a naval vessel and participated in various Marine Corps training activities as well as more entertain- ing pastimes The entertainment included watching a military parade and a visit to Disneyland, a thrilling experience for many cadets who had never visited it before.

Items the Spanish Club sold in- cluded spice shakers, brass ornaments, and candy bars. Funds raised from these sales financed the trip to San Antonio for the Pan American Student Forum Convention. Representatives from most Spanish Clubs in Texas attended this convention in order to participate in workshops, compete in con- tests, and elect state officers. With the remaining funds, the Spanish Club donated to Pesos for Braces and Operation Ninos, a project which helps underprivileged children in Latin America. They also awarded a scholarship to an outstanding senior and paid S200 of each in- dividual's cost for the trip to Mexico at the end of the year. Ending the year with a touch of class, the Spanish Club held a spring banquet at which the officers for the next year were announced.
