Q Sf, V CA Electronics enters contests VICA Electronics was one of the various vocational education organizations that enriched the students involv- ed in the school vocational programs. The club enabled its members to learn skills of leadership and responsibility in addition to giving them the opportunity to compete with their special projects at district and state levels. Competition held in early March resulted in two blue ribbons for local competitors: Scott Prothero, junior, entered a car burglar alarm, and Mike Boatright, junior, entered an electronic counter. VICA Electronics students also entered other electronic devices such as alarms and motion detectors. A new warning system created by Gary Larcenaire, a Westwood senior, was one of the more original contest en- tries according to sponsor Neil Dedear. This system let the owner know when his automobile lights were left on as a special horn sounded two seconds after the owner turned off the ignition. Several Westwood students were involved in the RRHS programs since Round Rock was the site of the area vocational school for the district. These students were bused over daily for these classes so that they could work with the equip- ment and machinery available on the Round Rock campus. The mixture of Round Rock and Westwood students in this club formed a unique camraderie between the two rival schools. ir .,ff,.,,- up 2 ,. a . , f , ,., Ivi I I ,.,, ,. , J f 5 ,,.,.i fglfj, K W I ....

Students earn extra money, gain skills VICA-Industrial Cooperative Train- ing CICTJ takes a great amount of devo- tion from a person. This club helped students earn money and learn skills at the same time. The students in this organization worked half a day at an in- dustrial job that required many hours of training. After graduation, most students kept their jobs. During their school hours, ICT members learned many things ranging from income tax preparation and budgeting to first aid. The club attended District contest during April in San Antonio where Kevin Reed, senior, won third in skills contest in auto parts and Cindy Boyd, senior, won fourth in job interviews. They also attended State in Dallas. The club sold raffle tickets for a rifle. All proceeds went towards paying for contest fees. Junior Kelly Montgomery takes it easy during the last week of school. Montgomery was one of many students involved in ICT. 72 VICA ICT VICA-ICT: tBottom Rowb Kevin Johnson, Scott Allen, Brian Murphy, Bobby Stack, Troy Wilburn, Ken Chalfantg tSecond Row!
