During high school years, the most often asked question is what am I going to do with my life after high school? Many students have discovered clubs that help make such a decision a little easier. Medical Careers, a club designed to further student ' s interest in medi¬ cine, began the school year with enthusiam. Activities carried out consisted of bake sales, guest speakers and a field trip to a nearby hospital. Unfortunately, the energy crisis prevented the club from plan¬ ning further field trips. Making the best of the situation, however, the Medical Careers club continued to provide students with information and insight into the fields of medi¬ cine. Two other clubs that proved useful to students in learning more about specific professions were the Student Action for Education (SAE) and Future Homemakers of America (FHA). Although membership was small and gas was short, the clubs planned numerous activities. SAE went to local elementary schools, monthly, to get experience in work¬ ing with students and teachers, alike. FHA included in their yearly activities, selling Homecoming mums, and throwing an ice cream social. Students in both SAE and FHA had fun while gaining experi¬ ence for the future. Tri-Hi-y, a service club, en¬ couraged student involvement in school and community orientated activities. Bake sales, car washes, and parties brought the members closer together and closer to the community.
