Viewing an operation at Ben Taub, seeing cadavers at the Baylor College of Medicine and taking a field trip to Texas A and M's veterinary school were a few of the projects organized by the Medical Careers Club. President Bart Putterman stated, We try and offer those people interested in a medically- oriented career some insight into the diverse fields of interest. With the intention of making exercise and dance available, the Ballet Club made its debut. lt's a good opportunity for those who have never taken ballet lessons as well as more practice time to those who do, commented Laura Agnew. The club sponsor, Mrs. Carol Maresca, was a former teacher of ballet. After questioning several students to see if anyone would be interested, she found a few guys as well as girls were enthusiastic about the idea. Students concerned about the condition of the environment worked with the Ecology Club to beautify the school by planting azaleas and installing an automatic water system at the entrance. The project became possible as members sold around S300 worth of Swipe products. Emphasis was concentrated on Memorial l Care rather than its former title Earth I Care, because members felt it was more applicable to their cause. Qther aspects of science were pursued by members ofthe Life Science Club as a herpetologist from the Houston Zoo brought the poisonous snakes of Texas and demonstrated how to handle them. A visit to an old folks home and a pot-luck supper where E.H.A. members brought their dads, enlightened the year as did the annual E.l-l.A. formal held at the Ramada Inn on February 14. E.H.A. is based on community projects in which all club members have an opportunity to participate. We look forward to the formal and out of town conventions that take place during the summer, said Debbie Shands. Practicing strategy and logic as well as participating in tournaments, the Chess Team worked to bring home trophies like any other sport. lt gets together people who wish to play the game and sharpen their skill, said Paul Bettencourt. The Slide Rule Club members also worked on drills and improved ability to maneuver the somewhat difficult rulers in order to enter competition with other schools.
