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.

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.

Anticipating a clerical career through FBLA, Dena Peck types a business letter. F.B.L.A. ew leadership arrived this year with the coming of Mrs. Perschbacher, who added a new atmos- phere and style to the Future Business Leaders of America Club. To enable them to start the year off with a financial success, FBLA members challenged students to toss hoops around girls' legs at their Home- coming Carnival booth. The club learned new busi- ness methods and improved old ones. FBLA members also enjoyed informal parties and group discussions. Previously the club had taken field trips and studied intense business relations, but this year they chose a more informal method of business studies and activities. Meeting twice monthly, FBLA improved business practices, enjoyed informal gatherings, and made plans for future activities. The purpose of the club was to train young people in the art of becoming suc- cessful inthe business world. Salesmanship, book- keeping, shorthand, and other office skills comprised the subject in which students became adept during these meetings. l 1 4
