The Diversified Occupations Club was organized to supplement the regular class activities and to provide a social outlet for students whose schedule does not permit participation in many other school activities. The members of Diversified Occupations take a regular high school course of study during one half the school day, then work for various merchants or business concerns for the remainder of the day. The purposes of the club are to provide the local employers with better trained employees, to acquaint the businesses of Waynesboro with the program of the high school, and to promote a harmonious relationship between employer and em¬ ployee. Selling Christmas trees and having a bake sale have been the two money raising projects during the year. All the members of the club attended a District and State Convention. The club also had an employee-employer banquet for the members. The local club has gained many excellent achievements in the past. Two club members held state offices, and several of the members won recognition in the contests sponsored by the D. O. State Organization. 16

The club rated in the first ten among clubs in Virginia. The members have also carried out a large number of very useful and helpful projects during the past year. Some of the activities include: having a Christmas display book for the merchants of Waynesboro, attending the District and State Conventions, giving an assembly, giving civic appearances, and washing windows for the Waynesboro businessmen after Hallowe’en. The club has also had quite a few winners in the District Contests. The emblem of the Distributive Education Clubs of America points out the aims and purposes of the club. It is a dia¬ mond, in the center of which is a wrapped package symbolizing a job well done. The four points of the diamond represent Vocational Understanding, Civic Consciousness, Social Intelligence, and Leadership Development. 15
