I have your order? asks Woody Smith at his job with Griffs Burger Bar. D.E.C.A. eeting first period every Monday, Wasson's chap- ter ofthe Distributive Education Clubs of Amer- ica worked to increase their knowledge of good busi- ness techniques. To become a member of DECA, one must be enrolled in Distributive Education and other related programs. DECA's Homecoming Carnival booth was one of the most profitable. Members made S65 selling orange drink to thirsty T-Birds. To raise additional funds for activities, DECA held a candy sale. In January DECA attended the district conference where they competed in the areas of window display and advertising. They also attended the state con- ference at the Broadmoor in March. To top the year off, an all-city employer-employee banquet was held for DECA members.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB n interest in world problems was the only require- ment for International Relations Club member- ship this year. Organized for students who are inter- ested in national and international affairs, IRC tries to promote personal understanding of global problems. Getting the students involved in the Presidential election was one of the main objectives. Under the guidance of Mr. Foster, the club sponsor, IRC planned two assemblies to familiarize the student body with the positions of both political parties. Representative Frank Evans of the Third Congressional District spoke one day for the Democrats, and Leo Hoegh, former governor of Iowa, spoke the next day for the Repub- licans. On November 1 IRC conducted a mock elec- tion in the Brick Room. Students voted for President, senator, and representative. Other activities this year included trips to Denver for a conference on India, to Greeley for the Model United Nations, and to Boulder for the World Affairs conference.

F.S.A. uture Scientists of America, under the sponsorship of Mr. Charles Reser, worked this year not only as a service club but also with the interest of broadening the scientific knowledge of its members. Before school opened in the fall, F.S.A. members placed fire drill signs in all the classrooms and organized the elemen- tary science fair, which was held later on in the year. Throughout the year F.S.A, members heard sev- eral speakers on science theories and careers and saw a variety of movies relating to their respective fields of interest. In May, F.S.A. took a field trip to the Air Force Academy Planetarium.
