FTA Prepares for Future Profession fl. to nj: Roberta DeMatt, Marianne Durso, Joanne Durso, Miss Mary .lean Turse, Annette Forliano, Joanne Donahue. The teaching profession is a vital field in the world today. Here at Hazleton High School, students inter- ested in teaching may join the Future Teachers Club. This organization acquaints its members with the techniques and attitudes that are required of a good teacher. Throughout the year, the students perform many worthwhile services. The Future Teachers began their activities this year with Apple Day, a day on which the Hazleton High School faculty was honored. Each teacher was given an apple, a token of the students' esteem. To conclude the tribute, a tea was held in the cafeteria. At this affair, new teachers were welcomed and hon- ored, as were the well-established members of our faculty. A community service of the Future Teachers Club was the Easter party given at the United Charities Home. The children thoroughly enjoyed singing and playing games with our future teachers, who also - provided refreshments. Every year the Future Teachers run fund-raising projects to support their activities. This year, mem- bers ran a successful peanut brittle sale. A highlight of the year was the National Confer- ence of Future Teachers held at Harrisburg. Here, Hazleton members met and shared ideas with mem- bers from other Pennsylvania schools.

The FNA Club of Hazleton High School serves to acquaint its members not only with the nursing pro- fession, but also with various other related occupa- tionsusuch as lab technicians, physical and occupa- tional therapists, X-ray technicians, and medical secretaries. Guest speakers at FNA meetings have in- cluded the Directors of Nursing from both the Allen- town and Hazleton State Hospitals, who provided the girls a wealth of information concerning the pro- grams offered by these institutions. At Christmas time, the club went on a field trip to the White Haven State School where they spread cheer while passing out gifts to the patients. In addition, members of the club assist their direc- tor, Mrs. Gladys May, in the infirmary. Here, they are presented the opportunity to learn of the basic skills incorporated in infirmary care under the direc- tion of Mrs. May. Throughout the year they aid Mrs. May in weighing, measuring, and testing the stu- dents' vision. They obtain practical experience in caring for the sick and in preventive medicine. In general, the FNA offers many different kinds of experiences for girls who are interested in careers in medicine or who are merely interested in school or community service activities during their high school years. 22 I
