Model United Nations Examines Future Through Open Communications The Model United Nations Club strives to emulate the authentic United Nations in as many realistic ways possible. Issues chosen for debate or caucus are the issues being placed before the UN in New York. The delegations are structured identically and the foundation of MUN, much as in the United Nations is intelligent and open communication. Five girls went to the Georgetown National Convention this year as representatives of the Zambian nation. They raised funds to finance this trip through numerous activities — including a bake sale featuring delicacies from all over the world. In March the OLM chapter co-sponsored a convention with the University of Detroit Model United Nations chapter. es ae pe ay = had “ih a Above right: Martina Sorek works at the MUN bake sale under the supervision of Sr. Mary Camille and Miss Eileen Wagner, club mod- erator.

Glimpse at a Medical Ward to Be Enriched by Women The Health Careers club is a club for today. Concerned with people, it tries to educate its members about careers in the health field, give some practical experience in dealing with the sick and help establish volunteer workers in homes for the ill. This volunteer work is done on a limited basis, generally averaging about three hours a week. The club, which numbers 225 members, meets monthly. During the first semesters’ meeting a movie was shown each month, all dealing with different aspects of health careers. The meeting also featured speakers who spoke of general or specific aspects of careers in medicine. The club has been trying to do positive things here at school as well. In February and March, members collected for muscular dystrophy. Moderators are Sr. Ann Fleming and Mrs. Diane Kocenda. Officers, making up a club ‘“‘council’’ are Theresa Zink, Debbie Pleva and Roseanne Sinacola, Karen Sempberger and Marybeth Dillon.
