Members ... go to school, Work half day FHAXHERO fHome Economics Related Occupationsj is the in-class club for the 42 Home Economics Cooperative Education students at Round Rock High School. HECE students are juniors and seniors who at- tend school half a day and are employed in a home economics related occupation such as food service or child care 15 to 20 hours a week. The club met in class once a month with Ann Lesko, senior, and Terri Ham- mock, junior, presiding. The club had one fund raiser in which they sold Tom Watt products during Christmas. These included Christmas wrapping paper, toys and pot holders. The majority of the money was spent on the annual Employers Appreciation Dinner which was held in April in the student center. Their extra money was used to sponsor contestants for area FHA contests and community projects. In one of the con- tests, Ann Lesko won second place and advanced to state competition which was held in Houston in April. Becky Rhoades, senior, is presented the Earl Seay Award at the FHA banquet by Earl Seay, director of vocational education.

The DECA group also sponsored a Free Enterprise assembly featuring guest speaker Dr. W.C. Newberry of Southwest Texas State University. The group spon- sored a Civic Consciousness Project to benefit the Spina Bifida Association for which they held a benefit dinner as a fund raiser.

CVAE Foods create meals Cooking and serving meals was not all the CVAE Food Service did this year. The group participated in various com- petitions including one at the State Fair held in Dallas. In addition, they also competed in the Williamson County Fair, in which they submitted eleven en- tries for the baking contest and won seven first and four second place prizes. At district competition in San An- tonio, Theresa Embry, senior, took sec- ond place in an individual competition in which she prepared an appetizer, main dish and dessert within 30 minutes. One special project that the group did was to serve a lunch for the faculty every Thursday throughout the spring. The teachers were given a menu and asked to make reservations for the meal which was prepared and served by the students during both lunch periods. Mrs. Phyllis Edmison, CVAE Food Service in- structor, teaches Mike Meece, sophomore, how to shape yeast rolls. This is only one of the many food preparation skills which the students learn. ,. 1 fi' A-53 ff QW e, e v B, Wa, .Y my M Doris Maldonado, juhior, and Janice Blackburn, sophomore, prepare to make rolls in their CVAE Food Service class.
