On The Move It’s 2:33 pm. The school day has ended; and there is a mad rush for the parking lot or buses. Every- body wanted to be home in time for their favorite soap or game show. While some students are rushing home, there are approximately 50 students who have been working since 12:06 or 12:55 pm. They are the members of CAE, CIE, COE, and DECA. Work, what a place! Whether it’s Shop Rite, Sears, Hoffman-Lar- oche, Inc., or M M Mars, each mem- ber demonstrated the skills they have learned in the classes and club meetings. Some of these skills included public relations, market- ing, and a professional attitude. Other clubs that taught these same skills were Future Business Lead- ers of America (FBLA) and VICA. Unlike the other club members FBLA and VICA used the skills they learned to compete in state con- tests. It may have seemed that all these students had time for was work and school. This, however, did not hold true for some of these club mem- bers. During the winter months, Mr. Bowen, the advisor for CIE and VICA, took a group of students out on ski trips. There they could forget all the troubles and worries they might have had while they were at work or school. With the help of these programs, students have been properly prepared for their fu- tures. Also they are moving in one direction, which is a step forward. It’s Hoffman's Bakery and who will you find working in the back? It's senior Dave Buczek decorating a scrumptious cheesecake for the awaiting customers. What’s this? Fiddling around with the car door, senior Bob Hummer fixes the lock. He works at Dave's Friendly Service on Rt. 57 in Washington. CO-OPS 29

All set to go. During the Warren County Farmer's Fair, junior Rick Smith prepares to compete in the Tractor Driving Contest. Team work. Junior Christine Mazzarella, freshman Jill Whitmore and senior Kris Se- greaves unpack the crates of oranges to make ready for the buyers. Congratulations. While at the 58th Annual State Convention, junior Peggy Petrick ac- cepts the BOAC award from FFA representa- tives. FFA Ever So Busk One of the biggest and most active organizations at War- ren Hills was the Future Farmers of America (FFA). With its 60 members, advisers Mr. Rupell and Mr. Sills had their hands full. Unlike most organizations FFA was an all year round club. During the summer FFA entered in many contests including the Warren County Farmers Fair in Harmony. The awards won ranged from 1st place blue ribbons to silver platters. From November 11-15 seven mem- bers plus Mr. Rupell attended the 60th Annual National FFA Conven- tion held in Kansas City, Missouri. There they attended meetings, competed in judging contest and won awards. One of the most memo- rable awards won by the FFA was the State Building Our American Community (BOAC). The chapter re- ceived this award by sending five tractor-trailer loads of hay to five of the Southern States during the drought. The award was received on May 15, 1987. Junior Peggy Pe- trick along with Mr. Rupell went to Washington D.C. from September 23-27. They were given the grand tour along with 60 other delegates across the United States, as part of the BOAC award. On the home front, the FFA mem- bers spent time fundraising during November and December with the Citrus Sale. On February 2 another fundraiser was held; members but- chered a hog that was part of the menu for the February 24 Ham and Egg Dinner given to FFA supporters and the Board of Education during FFA week. Being a part of FFA wasn’t just all work and no play. Members went on ski trips, attended a Regional Christmas Dance at Hunterdon Cen- tral on December 18 and even had a softball game against the FFA alum- ni. 30 Organizations
