Observation of professional singers at the Cellar Door helped members improve their own style. Vari- ous institutions in the community were treated to performances by the society. Through the club's activities, members studied the art ofthe folk song- popular and traditional, foreign and American. For those interested in the healing arts, the Medi- cal Careers Club offered an opportunity for gaining extra-curricular knowledge. Such speakers as the head of the nurses' training program at a college, a bio- chemical researcher from the National Institute of Health, and a blood expert from Walter Reed Army Medical Center enlivened meetings. Other discus- sions centered around psychiatry and the Food and Drug Administration. Representatives from the group attended the Annual Spring Convention ofthe Future Nurses and Medical Careers Clubs of Maryland to exchange ideas with other schools in the state.

Under the guidance of Mr. Ostrinsky, club sponsor, members assembled a window display and staged an auction. Planned for the purpose of providing a med- ium of exchange for collectors, monthly meetings were almost entirely devoted to trading, buying, and selling among the members. Highlight ofthe year's activi- ties, the auction, climaxed a steady promotional cam- paign and resulted in the sale of many fine stamps and coins. The year's activities culminated in a visit to a meeting of the Silver Spring Philatelic Society. Designed to promote an increasingly popular form of recreation, the Bowling Club provided a chance for bowlers to try their skills against those of students from Northwood and other area schools in league competition. One of the top teams in the Metropolitan Chess League, Northwood's Chess Club supplied an oppor- tunity for students to improve their concentration and game skills in match play and tournaments. Ken Labowltz and Julien Hofberg admire rare stamps and coins. KYB - XXX X X . ' 5l 'k v gum
