Future Nurses is a club whose members are interested in nursing or anything pertaining to the field of nursing. We started off the year with our plans for Homecoming, electing Sylvia Field as our Homecoming Queen Candi- date. Our float's theme was Queen Around the World with Sylvia reigning over all. We attended a meeting at the American Legion Home where we were guests of honor. Miss Helen Lancaster, a senior in Nursing at the University of Wyoming, spoke to us on scholarships, nursing as a career, and the various subjects necessary to fake. We also had a candy sale which helped our treasury. Next we had a joint meet- ing with Prep's Future Nurses' group. We initiated the new members of our club with a come-as-you-are breakfast in December. We are now working on a point system. Some of our junior and senior members are planning a trip to Denver to visit the St. Luke's private hospital when they are having open-house. Some of our members worked at the polio clinic. Our future plans include ordering and receiving our pins, having a party honoring the senior members, see- ing films on This Is Nursing, sponsored by the District Nurses' Association, and hearing various speakers in all types of fields. We will have election of officers in April, and this will officially close our 1958-59 activities.
