Longes Latinus Vive! The Junior Classical League is one of the most active clubs in school. The club is based on cultural interests of Greek and Roman times and culture. Services provided include the used book store in its second year of operation. In March the school halls were filled with hundreds of small cardboard feet. This was part of an impressive advertising campaign for the JCL sponsored ‘Purple Foot’’ dance, held for the fourth consecutive year. Members of the league keep a scrapbook of all club activities. This year the cover of the book was hand-embroidered by the Latin students. As usual, the club participated in the fall and spring conventions held for all Michigan Junior Classical League members. The fall convention was held here at Mercy, the spring convention was held at the University of Michigan. The club is moderated by Sr. Marjorie Marie. The officers are Ann Janusko, Karen Knapp, Carol Hackett and Mary Morris. Upper left: Anne Janusko, JCL president, mans the desk at the used book sale.

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.
