ur doctors study sciences f tomorrow Some of the most desired and sought after professions are those dealing with the medical field. For students with this ambition or interest, there was the Future Medical Careers Club. In the club, the members learned about dif- ferent medical careers. To do this, they went to Baylor College of Medicine and heard about the many opportunities open to them. While they were there, they even examined a cadaver. The club was very involved with Health Awareness Week. During the week, they took blood pressures during lunch and learned how to apply C.P.R.

J, ,V-f xx IEE, ',S-nf-'f You don't really have to plan on being a teacher, but most in our group do, ex- plained F.T.A. member Deneen Rogers. The Future Teachers of America Club is one of the most involved organizations in the school. They played an important part in VaIentine's Day by delivering flowers and cards sent to students from their Sweethearts . On a Save the teacher mission, they went over to nearby elementary schools to be teacher aides on their field days. Another time, we were asked to make cassette taped recordings of textbook in- formation to aid people who did not have access to textbooks or could not read or see well enough to read, added Deneen. To show how much the teachers are needed by the students, F.T.A. has an an- nual Teacher Appreciation Week in which a luncheon is held for them among other favors done for them during the week. Helping to improve the school and mak- ing the jobs of the faculty a little more ena joyable were the accomplishments of F.T.A.

i YPresident Tony Garcia explains the upcoming activities during a Spanish Club meeting in Ms. Boyd's room. onquistadors' quest for culture The cool, dim surroundings of Las Alamedas made it pleasant to MAS look through the large windows at the leaves blowing off the lighted trees. Los Conquistadors gathered around the long table and dipped their warm tortilla chips into the picante sauce as they awaited the advent of their president, Tony Garcia. Ms. Emily Boyd, the Spanish Club sponsor, asked the waiters to correspond with the diners only in Spanish, making it especially challenging for Spanish I students, guests, and former Spanish students to request for water as the picante burned their tongues. After dinner, while certificates were be- ing awarded to the officers, Tony and his twin brother, Alfredo Gar- cia, walked into the room explaining how they got lost. Alfredo won the President Look-Alike Contest and some other unique awards were presented before Tony said some final words about the club's year. One of the club's first activities was a Christmas party at Andrea PenaIoza's house. Everyone participated in making the party a success, We broke a pinata and lots to eat, recalled Pattrina Pastran. Several members and Ms. Boyd travelled to San Antonio to attend a convention of the Pan American Student Forum of Texas. Dif- ferent organizations held seminars exhibiting the various cultures of Pan American countries. We donated money to different organizations. Like, some kids in other countries need braces, explained Pattrina. They also walked around to nearby sights and absorbed the history of San Antonio. 4Top to bottom, left to right: Vice-President, Phyllis Chang, Historian, Pattrina Pastran, Historian, Andrea Penaloza, Secretary, Theresa Mendoza, Chairperson of Communications, Sharon Leeg President, Tony Garciag Treasurer, Scott Shaunfield.
