DECA CM Displays hapntshw Rtcard By FLYNN SURRATT The most active club at John A. Holmes High School is enjoying some (special attention, this week, through the various media as well as through some self-horn tooting. In the light of the concrete accomplishments listed by the Holmes DECA organization during this year alone, a little crowing is in order. This week was proclaimed DECA Week by Mayor Roy L. Harrell who signed the statement last Friday,’ and the content of the proclamation was recorded for broadcast on WCDJ. While similar observances are scheduled in other parts of the state, the local club has various activities underway which will be culminated with an alumni party at the VFW Building Friday night, During the current year, the DECA Club has noted 11 major accomplishments including the club as a whole, as well as individual students. Their record began with the Chowan County Fair. Their booth was judged first place in the high school division, not to mention Grand Champion booth exhibit. The theme was “Step Into The Future With Distributive Education.’’ Tito award winning display was spearheaded by Debby Babb, Jackie Habit, Mary Vopelak, David Shackleford, Neal Basnight, and Barbie Williams. Another award for their handiwork came during the Christmas Parade when “Santa’s Fantasy Land” was named first place in float competition. Out of 12 schools, the Holmes DECA Club was the only one to place in every category in district contests. Debby Babb won second place in advertising; David Shackelford, second place in public speaking; Teresa White, first runner-up in the Miss DECA event; Barbie Williams, third place in job interview; and Wayne Evans, honorable mention in sales demonstration. On a state leyel, they were awarded a two-star achievement award based on a points accumulation over the year. Locally, their involvement has included recruiting donors for the bloodmobile, and the sale of $2,000 worth of fruitcakes, at a time which everyone was selling fruitcakes. From that project, the club netted S7OO, the funds now being used for the alumni, banquet. < Another big event on the DECA calendar of happenings is the State Leadership Conference on March 15-16. Nine students will represent Holmes and the club in state competition and workshops. During the conference the two star award will actually be presented to the DECA club. David Shackleford, David Ambrose, Steve Sawyer, Neal Basnight,DonaldWoodle,Teresa White, Gale Harmon, Wayne Evans and Tony Belch will be the Edenton representatives. John Dowd, distributive education instructor, explained that the program is a vocational class for training students in careers in marketing and distribution. There are three basic phases in this educational process. •.». •• ' 'ciTT* Phase one tototvw classroom study of credit, retailing, communications, human relations, management, ete. Secondly there la the on-the-job training -in which a student, completes his' required courses by 12:30 each day before reporting tohte job. On tbs job. the An ployed student is able to literally apply the knowledge gained from his school program while being t under the supervision of the store owner. DECA club is tfie third phase. A professional organization of D. E. students, this club is span only to distributive education students. Its primary function is to build leadership skills. Os course it also enables a student to obtain individual recognition, for personal excellence. Participation in D.E. does not deprive a student of the capability of being accepted in 0 college or university. Dowd emphasized that D.E. students must complete required courses just as normal students would. The program is offered not as a substitute but as an alternative. An answer is provided for the student who is not interested in the college prep type curriculum. A student may still attend college while having valuably and applicable knowledge in business. Likewise, a student not college bound may And the security of a stable job as well as a good education.

In terms of pjaciiig participants in jpjbe. he stated that several downtown merchants and other businesses contact Mm first for a potential employee. iSwm the other end of view, Dowd places most of the students by the first of the' year, and after that he has to turn down requests for able employees because there are none left to place. This has given rise to a unique problem. Some of the students retain these jobs after graduation, and this is • potential placement for the next year lost.
