Well it Ted Tsumura had much to say about the Pre-Med Club. The students in the club, mostly human physiology stu- dents, enjoyed activities like vol- leyball, basketball, softball, and bowling every month, as well as a banquet at the end of the year. All of this didn't, however, take away from the learning part of the club, according to Dr. T. He said, The club acts as a center for students who are interested in medicine, and what their future possibilities are in that field. Pre-Med was in close contact In addition, Dr. Bob Spencer, a retired surgeon, helped many stu- dents in the Pre-Med Club prepare for a career in medicine and health. Dr. Spencer also taught students how to find and use medical indexes and journals in reports. The club also had many guest speakers to discuss careers and requirements in medicine. The club wasn't open to just human physiology students. Some such as Sr. Katie Simpson joined in it for the fun, and others such as Sr. Keith Meirhoffer joined in the learning part and not Debbi: Tnud! nl the microscope yknows for sure, as Sr. Am Sargeant and Jr. Angie rslwsome make sure their slides provide Wyou see it, now you - don't.

As Abby said, The people in Pre-Med club just have fun. We bowl, play football, and do all kinds of other stuff,'l such as the 'Student to Student' program in which members of Pre-Med visited elementary schools to talk to them about smoking and chew- ing when they reach high school. And so it was that the Pre-Med Club caught some attentionfyes, againjfrom students and faculty, as well as those on the outside. Debbie Traudt
