Students explore career possibilities Future vocational plans were expressed through the popularity of clubs that enabled students to explore career possibilities. Speakers from several area hospitals lectured about medical fields at meetings of the Medical Careers Club. Enthusiastic club members planned their annual trip to Fairfax Hospital in early spring. At the hospital, students were able to observe medical specialists at work in areas not open to the public. Cashing in on the popularity of styled haircuts, the Vocational Industrial Clubs of America sponsored a Hair-a-thon to raise money. They also sold candles and calendars for Christmas. The club consisted of students from Marshall and other local high schools involved in Marshall's vocational program. Their profits were used to fund several enjoyable trips to local places of entertainment. A camping trip to Manassas was held in November. In the spring, a free hair-styling session was held for local senior citizens. Preparation for vocational careers was extended beyond classroom training by introducing students to the Distributive Education Clubs of America. This club was designed to help students understand various aspects of business such as production, advertising, and mass distribution. Inspiration to develop homemaking skills attracted people to the Future Homemakers of America club. Fund-raising activities included popsicle peddling, and the selling of Homecoming mums. These helped in raking in handsome profits to add to the treasury. Plans were promptly made for a Christmas dinner to be prepared and eaten by Club members.

Individual moves create challenges Every Tuesday after school, many of Marshall's top scholars were found in room 212 playing chess. The Chess Club mainly organized matches among themselves, but made plans to compete with clubs from other schools. Organizing interschool chess matches was difficult, but the club was willing to sacrifice their time and effort to bring county-wide competition about. Profit-raising activities included the selling of chess sets to Marshall students and faculty. Money raised by the club was saved to fund the planned interschool competitions. Sequel to last year's Bible club, the Maranatha Club took on a new name and a new image. The club's new name means Our Lord Come. Emphasis was placed on creating a group where Christian leaders could spread the Gospel. Meetings were held every Wednesday afternoon, and involved singing, discussing problems, and scripture study. The hour was de- voted to fellowship rather than just a Bible lecture. Frequent appearances by community members highlighted the meetings. Although Marantha had a slow start, extensive publicity attracted more students each week. Formal invitations were sent to various clubs inviting them to participate in the meetings. The Godspell cast was the first group to be recognized. Other clubs were asked to attend throughout the year, and response was good. A change in attitude as well as goals was reflected in the club's meetings. The club's main objective was to provide a place where students could get together in Christian fellowship. No requirements were set for membership; anyone who wanted to participate was welcome. Maranatha met the needs of student's problems. Maranatha president, Marty Baxter, moderates a club discussion as Brenda Ponsford listens. Group involvement in conversation was urged. Cktts Club - Front rw. Doug McMahon.
