F A Develops ursing Skills Decorating at Christmas party at White Haven State School Cheryl Swartz, June Barrett, Dorothy Stich. Boarding the bus for White Haven State School. 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

Students interested in this type of work submit applications to Mrs. Louise Beck, our librarian, in the spring of their sophomore year. Mrs. Beck selects a staff of assist- ants from the applicants. The student assistants fa- miliarize themselves with the card catalogue and ref- erence materials in order to become sufficiently qualified to 'assist others in search of information. Junior members of the Library Club devote their study halls to library work while seniors work during their regular study halls. In this way, each of the seven class periods is covered and the library open for the convenience of the student body, Students may use the library during their scheduled study hall time. The library assistants meet students at the door and distribute passes. When all passes have been filled out, the assistants collect them and take them to the cafeteria study hall. Other duties of Library Club members includes re- pairing books, running errands, checking books, and returning books to the shelves. Our lunchtime li- brary service is made possible through the volunteer services of library assistants. The Library Club serves the community as well as the school in such endeav- ors as the members' voluntary soliciting of money for the Heart Fund.
