DECA members stay active, continually Members of the Sandia Chapter of DECA were active in a number of proi- ects for the benefit of the community, the school and the DECA club. Shoplifting was studied in a state-wide survey. The results, published in booklet form to aid in the prevention and ap- prehension of shoplifting, were distri- buted to store managers. Civic-minded members collected Hal- loween candy for hospitalized children and participated in a city-wide drive to collect food, clothing and toys during Christmas. Mixer dances, parties and monthly breakfasts featuring such guests as Frank Schifani, immediate past President of the Chamber of Commerce, and Pete Domen- ici, City Commission Chairman, were held for the benefit of the members. Funds for the Chapter were raised during Christmas by selling calendars, Christmas albums and luminarias. Sandians, Larry Giron and Molly Jackson were the Northern District DECA president and vice-president as well as candidates for State DECA offices. Competition ran high during the State DECA Conference at the State Fair- grounds March 19-20, as members par- ticipated in events including manual en- tries, iob interview, display, public speak- ing, DECA Sweethearts, Boy and Girl Students of the Year and state officers. Contestants were entered in every event as well as competing collectively for Chapter of the Year in which judg- ment was based on participation and club accomplishments. First place win- ners were sent to the National DECA Conference in Minneapolis, Minn., April 20-24. 154 above: Larry Giron, DECA president, addresses Northern District DECA members during a breakfast at Wyatt's Cafeteria. upper, right: DECA members ore: Leonard Voelker, sponsor, Tom Vath, John DeMoss, Larry Giron, president, second row: Bill Karver, Jim Herndon, Gene Aragon, third row: Lonny Shore, John Thoeson, Don Gregerson, Tom Lease, Bob Armiio, not pictured: Tony Lucero. lower, right: Other members are: Marianne DeLuca, Ruth Montano, Gloria Marlow, Molly Jackson, vice- president, second row: Ann Wallace, Gale Berry, Sheelagh Koskella, Pam Wood, Debbie Troy, third row: Alex Eleen, Jim Sherman, Craig Bullock, Larry Bevill, fourth row: Richard Thwaits, Doy West, Rich- ard Nix, Stan Raymond, Steve Maxwell.
