The club was designed to enable stu- dents to combine technical and artistic abilities. The club offered the potential to its members to become culturally aware of the arts. It focused on getting the students to the gallaries in Winston-Salem and l60fArt Club making them familiar with varied tech- niques and artists of the area. The art club, by virtue of its type of organization, had no president, vice-presi- dent, or secretary. Chip Russell was the Chairperson. The club also had appointed representatives from each class. According to Dr. Anthony Swider, As- sistant Superintendent for Art Curriculum and Instruction, On Sunday, February 15, 1987, our students were presented the Gold Keys for their participation in the Scholastic Art Awards Competition. Th Forsyth County School System, won 5 Gold Keys, along with 169 certificates o Merit and 8 Special awards. Dr. Swide also stated, I really feel that we can b very proud of our curriculum and th achievements of our students an teachers. The year brought many art club mem bers to realize that they were preparin themselves for possible careers as artists, architects and even designers. By Deborah Fre 17

SCOOPING IT OUT: Mark Bumgardner and Mr. James Brandon prepare the VICA Ham Breakfast for the faculty. The Ham Breakfast is held each year as a project by the VICA Club. Teachers, like Mr. Robert VanBuren enjoy coming to school early for this special treat. 1X1ng By Deborah Freeman ECA, VICA and FBLA are pro- grams in which students were al- lowed to leave school early for work. These students received credit for the class and for working, in addition to being paid a salary by their employer. FBLA is a business club in which stu- dents learn skills that they may use in a future career. FBLA also provided leader- ship, and transition between school and the business world. One of the activities Mrs. Sandy Crater, the sponsor for FBLA, planned for this year was to assist in the guidance office. Members also had a Christmas party and helped the March of Dimes. When asked how she felt about FBLA, SecretaryfTreasurer, Beth Boone, stated, It's fun. I enjoy it a lot. I feel that you can l62fDECA, VICA, FBLA I .ww uy I mmm .umu- usiness With Pleasure get a lot from it with the activities we do and the places we gof, VICA is a part of I.C.T. or Industrial Cooperative Training class. VICA Club is supposed to help a student grow or develop in the world of work. Members planned a cookout during first quarter. On Decem- ber 19, over 100 people of the West For- syth professional staff were treated to a S250 Country Ham Breakfast spon- sored by VICA. The members of VICA also attended the North Carolina State VICA Conference in Greensboro, in April. Mr. George Ernst, the sponsor for VICA started working with the club in 1969-70. His interest in the club started when he was told it was a part of his job. I've worked with over 1,000 students in the club over the years, he stated. DECA, sponsored by Mr. C.O. Mat- thews, is a club to help students to become future leaders in marketing and manage- ment. The club gave Mr. Matthews the chance to introduce young people to the world of work. The activities planned for the year were the standard events associat- ed with DECA, the District State Compet- itive Events. The highlight of the year was the trip to New York in February. Teng five times as many students went this year as went last year. These clubs: DECA, VICA, and FBLA all have something in common. Each club throughout the years has helped many stu- dents achieve their goals in the working world.
