PRESS CLUB AIDS IN NEWSPAPER PUBLICATION Mixed emotions of both relief and expectation are in the air at the bi-weekly meetings of the Press Club; for not only is the work of writing for the Woodrow Wilson over for a while, but also the newspapers are to be distributed that very day, since the Press Club enables students to participate in the writing of the school paper, the members become acquainted with many phases of journalism, including photography and the mechanics of the print shop. Capably led by President Margaret Tinsley, the editor of the News, and by Mr. Albert Johnston, sponsor, the Press Club provides many activities for its members. Each December the members journey to Denton for the Texas High School Press Association. Many interesting and informative programs are presented by both college news editors and members of professional newspaper staffs. In these and many other ways, the Press Club fulfills its aim to encourage student participation in the field of journalism.

Art Service Club member are. Standing: Peggy Cook, Sharon Richcson, Sarah Brooks, Susan 8attle, Holly Alford, Carol Swiff, and Mary Alice Ris; Seated: Beverly Morris, Darrcline Haynes, and Deanna McGill. ARTISTS PROVIDE SCENERY FOR BIG STAGE PROGRAMS Although small in number, the Art Service Club fills the various scenery, property, and decorative needs at Woodrow in a near-professional manner. This task is quite large and the Art Club always gees above and beyond the call of duty to fulfill teachers' and students' wishes. Activities begin early in the school year with football and Fall Round-Up posters. Decorations for the Sadie Hawkins dance and other school parties are also provided by the Art Club. Although the fall Revue, Far Away Places, required only a small amount of scenery, the club inherited still another piece of work. After decorations for the football banquet were planned, the first semester activities were brought to a close. Preparing scenery and props for the spring musical, The Wizard of Oz, was the club's biggest project of the year. This major production required exaggerated, colorful, and stylized scenery. Many afternoons and evenings were spent in making last minute changes and filling final needs. Without the efforts of the Art Service Club, the programs and musicals presented at Woodrow would be quite incomplete. Discussing a piece of scenery for the musical The Wizard of Oz, are David Smith, Lynn Bcitman, and Carol Swift. 86 4

Although Future Nurses is Woodrow's smallest club it is one of the most active. Its members arc Susan Manning, Susan Scott, Deanna McGill, lanelle Oden, Peggy lanius, Torye Bock, and Sharon Suter. MEDICAL PROFESSION ATTRACTS MEMBERS TO FUTURE NURSES Enthusiasm!! That's what has kept the Future Nurses Club bubbling and busy since their first meeting in September. Sponsored by Mrs. Willie Mae Caldwell this club which meets every second and fourth Tuesday in room 112 has had many worthwhile meetings and excursions. At the first of school three nurses from Baylor Hospital's administration talked to Future Nurses about the varied nursing professions. Later at another meeting a physical therapist from the Scottish Rite Hospital provided excellent information concerning the work and qualifications of a physical therapist. One Tuesday afternoon found the members on an excursion to Wadley Blood Center. Here the girls were taken on a first class tour where they saw research laboratories and storages for blood plasma. They also learned how a donor gives blood. The girls still talk about this interesting trip, for they were very impressed by what they saw and learned there. The Future Nurses were represented at their annual convention in San Antonio, Texas. Many of these girls are planning a career in medicine after attending Future Nurses. Future Nunes' officers: Susan Manning, president; Peggy lanius, secretary; Mrs. Willie Mae Caldwell, sponsor; Deanna McGill, vice president and treasurer Susan Scott obtain new ideas as they read booklets on various professions in nursing. 88
