At these meetings, guest speakers presented their fields of medicine to the members. Occasionally, students unsure of which field they wished to enter were aided in their decisions by professionals and those with a field already in mind were given the chance to learn more of the background and actual work of their chosen career. Various methods of earning money -candy sales and bake sales - were employed by the Medical Careers Club. This money was used to fund a trip to Fairfax Hospital in the Spring. There, members observed the skills required to function efficiently in a hospital atmosphere. Future-oriented clubs Commonly considered a sewing and ll .

96 Clubs honor Ability and participation in sports were requirements of the Girls' Athletic Association. Members of this group had earned their varsity letters and were willing to devote time and effort to meetings and activities. The girls played varsity or intramural sports, and as a sideline often challenged their gym teachers to volleyball. In addition to these activities, the GAA tried to raise funds with a paper drive in the fall. Due to inadequate publicity, however, the drive did not reach its desired goal. Recognition was given to outstanding musicians by acceptance into Tri-M, better known as the Honor Society for Musicians. Consisting of Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, members of Tri-M were talented individuals noted for their abilities as instrumentalists, vocalists or both. In an unusual attempt to raise money, the Tri-M sponsored a road rally, deemed a success by all participants. This 105 mile event was held on Sunday, November 24, 1974 with about 20 cars participating. Fun filled hours passed as each driver and navigator tried to unscramble the directions given them. As a fund raising project, the road rally proved very profitable for Tri-M. Tri-M, an honor society for musicians, made an attempt to become a useful and productive organization at Marshall.

Reveille Reams of poetry and a smidgen of prose was only one of the problems the Reveille staff encountered in its efforts to produce a literary magazine. The shortage of diverse works was second only to the lack of capital. Overshadowed by Rank and File and Columbian, Reveille did not receive enough money to produce a sophisticated magazine. An informative and artistic calender brought the magazine recognition early in the year; the spring issue featured the talents of a one semester creative writing class. Editing and much of the material production fell on the shoulders of sponsor, Mr. Ned Vergason, and a handful of loyal staff members. Rank File — Bottom row: Mike Sumser, Frances Murray.
