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.

Language Clubs Spark Student Interest Here they are with those gummi bears again! Ever wonder what un¬ dercover organization was behind these little jelly-like creatures? Then the answer to your dream is the German Club. Not only did they sell gummi bears and pretzels, but they went ice skating, hiking, had progressive dinners, and a St. Nicholas party. One of Marshall ' s most active clubs, the German Club, partici¬ pated in the National Federation of Students with Germany which en- titl es them to student exchange and guest speakers. Each member also regularly received Rundeshaeu, a German newspaper to help further their knowledge of the German cul¬ ture. The Spanish Club initiated new members, shared past summer ex¬ periences and talked about club ac¬ tivities at a picnic at Great Falls. After the awkwardness of new members wore off and the oldies put last year in it ' s place, the club got busy on a progressive dinner, and dined in Spanish and Mexican restaurants which gave members ideas for the meals they contributed to the International Banquet. The Spanish Club was not only active at school but out of school as well, way out of school. As far out as Bolivia where the club supported a foster child. The growing Russian Club was fi¬ nally blessed with a Russian Lan¬ guage class. Meeting one period daily, students furthered their knowledge in Russian History and culture as well as the language. During the year members went on picnics and took an active part in Marshall ' s International Banquet. If your interest was in French or the French culture, the French Club was the place to be. Exciting activi¬ ties like bowling, ice skating, and going to a French Restaurant highlighted the years events. French food and entertainment added to the success of the International Banquet.
