104 Medical Careers, Red Cross Work with Community Developing a deeper interest in the field of medicine, the Medical Careers Club partici- pated in an informative program. Along with in- teresting films, the club was entertained by guest speakers. Mrs. Naomi Corsini briefed the club on volunteer service opportunities at Silver Cross. Jerry Lynn Lovati lectured on the work of a lab technician. Traveling to the Cook County Hospital, the Medical Careers Club toured the School of Nursing. Members packaged cards and stamps for the children in the Guardian Angel Home during the Christmas season. Signaling the end of the year, the club took to the outdoors for a picnic. Red Cross packed a busy year starting with the Community Drive in which all homerooms took part. For St. Patrick's Day, the club created candy favors for the patients at the St. Joseph's Hospital.
