DECA prepares One of the main objectives of Dis- tributive Education Clubs of Amer- ica is to teach students the responsi- bility required in the business world. Many of the Distributive Education students received work releases so they could leave school early and apply their school lessons to real job situations. The students worked at different Salina businesses such as discount and hardware stores, gro- cery chains, and retail clothiers. Through working at the school candy store, the students were able .l l. business students to learn such basic business tech- niques as showcase displays, inven- tories, and bookkeeping. With the addition of a vending machine in the Commons for student use before and after school, the DECA class was able to provide goodies', for hungry students while making some additional income. As the DECA sponsor, Mrs. So- nja Auldridge taught the two classes correct use of the cash register, bal- ancing of books, and efficient mar- ket advertising.
