Health Club Buys Clinic a Wheelchair The Cadeusas Health Career’s Club at B.H.S. was established last year but has already started a long term service project for the school. As a Christmas project the club sold bows made by the Sarah Bonwell Hudgins Center and gave the teen¬ agers a party. With the profits off the bows a stretcher wheelchair was bought for the clinic. The club heard from representatives of the American Red Cross, Thomas Nelson’s Associate Degree Nursing Program, Riverside Hospital, and an Army Recruiter. A trip was taken to Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C. where nursing and other careers were viewed. Mrs. Jeanne Brad¬ ley, school nurse was sponsor and Rose-Marie Webster was president. 26

Home Ec. Club Stresses Individual Management The Home Economics Club, formally known as Future Homemakers of America, attracted many girls enrolled in home ec. classes. The main pro¬ ject of the club was selling candy to raise money. As the name implies, the club stresses individ¬ ual management of the girls. Each class started a savings account with Mrs. Lane. They set up their own goals and upon reaching them, a trip was planned to visit New York City. Over seventy girls took the bus tour in April. They visited Man¬ hattan and Radio City, and explored the salesmen techniques while shopping in the stores. Mrs. Em¬ ily Lovett sponsored the club. k n§-? • j 28
