To encourage girls to consider education and training beyond high school is the pur- pose of the FNC. Nursing is not stressed any more than any of the other allied fields of medicine. With 21 girls enrolled in the club this year, the total membership has in- creased 150% over last year’s. The club met during class time, once a month or less. They also met when speakers were available. Announcing a “thought for the day” every Friday during November over the PA was one of the many projects of the FNC. The girls also made posters to remind the students of the good manners thought for the day. Other projects included making tray favors for a hospital, giving magazines to Healthwin patients, making stuffed toys for the Chil- dren’s Hospital, and sponsoring the Cancer Drive. The club also sponsored money-making projects to finance the Dress Revue in May. In the spring the girls attended a tea and a tour of Memorial Hospital. DISPLAYING THE PROJECTS of the Future Nurses’ Club are Connie Ulrich and Melba Eby.

highlights Hi-Y-Teen Christmasette Closely related to the Y-'Teens, the purpose of the Hi-Y is to maintain, extend, and pro- mote higher standards of Christian living throughout the community. The boys strive to acquire clean speech, clean sports, clean scholarships, and clean living. ‘The club meets every other Wednesday during activities per- iod to plan their projects and discuss their business. At each of the meetings the club has a discussion program based upon youth. As a main source of income, the Hi-Y sells pop at the home basketball games. During the basketball season, the club sponsors fan busses to games at other schools. The Thanks- giving convocation was planned by the H1-Y, and in December they helped the Y-Teens with the Christmas program. The Mayfair Restaurant in Mishawaka was the scene of the Hi-Y-Teen Christmasette, a Christmas banquet and party. In addition to the coronation of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus, another highlight of the program was the Christian film, “Seventeen.” HI-Y—Front Row: Mr. Bridges (sponsor), Huns- berger, (chaplain), Schmidt (treasurer), Hensler (president), McCormack (vice-president), Dunkle- berger (secretary), Holmes, Schmeltz, Peterson, VanDeKeere.
