OE-OEA Using knowledge of office procedures for on-the-job training The phones are ringing off the wall and, what could be described as chaos, is the order of the day. The of- fice secretaries are busy trying to ac- complish their duties. They need so- meone who can file, type and answer the phone while they feverishly fill in forms by the dozen and take care of the daily business. This is where members of Vocational Office Education Co-op come in. These students go to school half a day and work the other half, receiving on-the- job training and knowledge for office procedures. As a club, VOE Co-op provided several services to the community during the year, including playing Bingo with the elderly, sponsoring the annual Thanksgiving food drive, and giving a Christmas party for the children at the Spirit of Youth Home. We really had a good time with the kids, Diana Garcia said. They real- ly looked up to us. Approximately 900 pounds of food was donated by 12 clubs for the an- nual Thanksgiving food drive to the Victoria Christian Assistance Ministry. FHA brought the most food and was honored with a donut party by VOE. Third period members treated the fourth period members to a pizza party at Mr. Gatti ' s for selling the most products in the fall fund-raising project and the group celebrated Christmas with a banquet at Siesta Restaurant.
