Club Presents Dramatic Scene The SHS Drama Club, under the direction of Mrs. Deborah Ellis, got off to a successful start this year. Members elected Grace Rosby as president in the early fall and designated Thursday afternoons as meeting days. Developing good acting techniques through readings and improvisions, the club presented a courtroom scene from The Crucible to the English classes as their first project. Gus Riera directed the production, while Carole Kivett, Ira Lackey, and Lynn Robinson served as the principal players. Throughout the year members concentrated primarily on laying a good foundation on which the club could build in the future.

Man of the Year. DE CA Wins District Honors DECA, a nationally recognized club, gave students who worked much of the day the opportunity to participate in club activities. The profit from the candy sale helped pay the expenses for the trip to the district meeting. DECA members also attended State and national conventions that enabled them to enter into competition in such fields as advertising, public speaking, and sale demonstrations. Concemed with the lack of understanding of SHS's Vocational Department, DECA gave two tours which explained the purpose and operation of the department. The first tour was for a group of fifth graders from Avery Sherrill School. DECA gave the final tour for the benefit of their parents. Near the end of the year club members hosted their employers with a banquet. 131' DECA Club: Front row: N. Black, presidentg J. Blair, vice-presidentg S. Clarke, secretary- treasurer. Second row: R.
