Members were from various pro- grams. The Beginning of tEe year, the election of officers took place. The new officers quickly organized the Halloween dance, which was a great sucuss for every- one involved. Their year was planned full of acti- vities but, they were unable to achieve their goals when their advisor,Joel Orgill, resigned in January.

Ideally de- signed for students enrolled in Marketing and Retail Sales, the Southwest Tech chapter had expanded this philosophy to include all students who feel they would benefit from its activities. The four points on the D.E.C.A. diamond cover the areas of benefit to the student: Vocational understanding, civic conciousness, leadership development, and social intelligence. Much money has gone to the Fanni- more community as a result of the Rescue Squad benefit dance, to international causes by means of the door to door community canvassing for UNICEF, and for the further education of students through the D.E.C.A. Distributive Education Scholar- ship which was awarded to two students of Southwest Tech. D.E.C.A., as well as other campus organizations, also provided a strong outlet in the social area. Every D.E.C.A. chapter is unique in its own Way. Small schools sometimes seem slighted, But maybe that means we iust have to work harder for recognition. Overall we think the Southwest Tech D.E.C.A. chapter is one of the most active in the state. We Believe this year's group showed the other chapters we-are here. Officers: Front row: P.

The Marketing program at Southwest Tech is perhaps the most opportunistic course offered by the school. The training received allows a broad comprehension of many related subjects Such as retailing, advertising, accounting, and many fields with much time spent discussing current aspects of each. The classroom atmosphere takes on casual characteristics,allowing the most introverted students to express opinions, ask questions, and receive attention to the fullest extent. Good rapport is easily developed between students and instructors, and among students themselves. Ultimately this benefits those involved By creating a Better understanding of concepts brought out in daily open discussions. The course is laid out in such a format that the student must notrely on class time alonefor full comprehension of materials. Frankly, the course may be compared with a 9 hour workday. Ideally, the time a student doesn't spend in class should he used in preparation of class work and other projects which are prepared during each semester. Mark Peterson, as with most Marketing students, finds class preparation an essential of the program. 32 Marketing II-left to right front: C. Konichek, B. Okey, L. Byrne, G. Swartz. Back: L. Neff, N.

Girls in Secretarial Science I and II were taking the most thorough course in becoming a secretary avail- able. This two-year course devotes much time to typing and shorthand, but the girls strengthen their skills in other secretarial areas such as Records Management Bus? ness Math, and Accounting Principles. Upon completion of this ceurse a student can go in to practically any secretarial position and become the right hand of today's bosses. NOT PICTURED: J. Clifton PICTURED BELOW: D. Weigel.

Students, who have completed this course, are qualified to mamge food service establishments. These students recehmd practical training by pre- paring the meal each day at school. Through this exper- ience, they were taught how to prepare well-Balanced meals in large proportions. Pictured at left is stu- dents working on the day's meal. Food Preparation As- sistant is a one-year voca- tional program. This pro- gram allows the students to become cooks in any estab- lishment where food is pre- pared and served. These students learned about the new equipment now available to food service personnel. Practical train- ing was received by prepar- ing and serving the food in the school's cafeteria.

Some areas of study include: farm machinery operation, shop practices, pre-delivery service, troubleshooting, repair and the proper procedures and safety in assembling, operating, and servicing farm equipment. As mechanical equipment for modern farming be- comes more complex, precise, and expensive, individual farmers can no longer repair and maintain all of their ma- chines. These Ag. Mechanics have learned to set up, diag- nose, repair and adjust all types of equipment which re- quire a thorough knowledge of testing devices to correctly calibrate and adjust complex sub'assemblies and equipment. 44 Second-year Ag. Mechanics, Section A, were; left to right: P. Landon, G. VanNatta, T. Thomas, D. McDonald, J. Stanek, C. Ludlum, C. Bratton, Mr. Bussan and A. Alt. Section B included: C. Elmer, R.

The Clerk-Typists didn't think it Would be much fun learning how to tyne, to run the business machines, or to use the other basic skills a clerk- tynist needs. Yet, they discovered that they en- joyed learning to run the different office machines such as the key-nunch, the many duplicating and transcribing machines, and the calculators. Just as they found out that there were many different tynes of machines used, they also dis- covered that there were many different methods of filing. These and other basic skills learned in the Clerk-Tynist nrogram prepared them for iobs in many different fields. PICTURED BELOW: Left to right: first row: J. Borcherding; second row: L.

Within this room a student may find help in Mathematics, Reading, English, Spelling, and a variety of other areas. The center also helps prepare students for the General Education Development test which is equivalent to high school diploma. To help a student read better and faster controlled reader machines are available. Tapes and other visual-audio machines are also there for the students' use. These machines are excellent teaching aids; however,qualified instructors are always pre- sent. The center is maintained by four instructors and two aids. These people are Mary Ellen Davis, Everett Hooks, Borgne McClelland, Bernice Rohlich, and aids Karen Petrich and Carol Jeidy. The Learning Center is open during the day from 8:30-4:30 and on Monday and Hedensday nights from 7:00e9:00. Since its opening three years ago, and being the only one in this area, it has helped a variety of people. Even though the center is Open to any person in the Vocational School district and the majority of smdents are from our Vocational School. This year, more than the previous years, the Learning Center has really come into its own. In the future, it will become more and more valuable to the residents of this district. 52 :I ' Pictured above were: Kermit Groom and Mr. v u u 3 Ken Murphy, Instructor.

Be- longing to the Wisconsin Technical College Conference for the first time, enabled the girls to play teams from Eau Claire, LaCrosse, Mil- waukee, Wisconsin Rapids, and Madison. The girls put a lot of effort into their games which ended in close scores. The season was a long one, but each Monday and Tuesday the team prac- ticed at the Municipal Building. To gain more experience, the girls played intermural teams on Wednesday nights also. Pictured above, left to right, were: Karl Schneller, manager, Sherri Yanna, Mary Moris, Deb Pink. Back Row, left to right: Rita Mask, Deb Dohler, Suzanne Vaassen, and Diana Weigel. 72 Karl Schneller managed the team, while Randy Wein- brenner and Richard Hantle- man coached. The girls team acquired a close feeling of kinsmanship, and out of this affection came nicknames such as Socks , Pinky and Ba- nanas . VllllH Hill Volleyball Intermurals were held each Wednesday night either at the Fennimore Municipal Building, or at the Grade Sdmnl gym. Participating teams were made up of faculty members, Butchers, the Girls Vol- leyball team and Farm Operators. The low ceiling in the Municipal Building did not hinder the volleys. An occasion- al ceiling tile would fall when an en- thusiastic server hit the ball just a little too high. 74 At times the positions acquired look more like calisthenics, but usually get the volley returned successfully. 75 the Take kindly counsel of the years DECISION MAKI NG Seated above, left to right, are the District Board: John Kramer, Chair- man; Walter Calvert, Vice Chairman; Earl Anderson, Secretary; and Roger Biddick, Treasurer.
