Running errands, keeping supplies in order, di- recting students, administering bandages, checking equipment, and washing test tubes are all duties of the student aides. Assisting both the faculty and student body in many phases of school life, services of the aides help Overlea function more efficiently. There are five groups which specialize in specific areas. Office aides help the everyday work of typing, filing, and running errands in the main office. Guidance aides type and schedule appointments for the guidance department. The work of the library aides is the shelving and checking-out of books. Audio-visual aides assist with the projection equip- ment while scientific equipment is kept in order by the students who serve as lab aides. Facilitating school activities, the aides may find their jobs both indispensable to the school and re- warding to themselves.

i Exploring the possibilities of nursing as a career are Mrs. Leora Bralhuhn and the officers of the F.lV.A.: President Fran Sherrill, Secrelary Paula Atkins, Vice President Barbara Sills, and Treasurer Judy Shetterly. ln the course of a day, Overleais nurse's aides perform the duties of taking temperatures and cleaning and band- aging minor wounds. ln addition, they act as receptionists and see that the Hinfirmaryw is kept in order. In doing this they relieve The Overlea Chapter of the Future Nurses of Ameri- ca orients girls to the rewards and responsibilities in the field of nursing. Under the supervision of Mrs. Leora Brathuhn, the girls visited several of the finer hospitals such as Wallter Reed Hospital and Bethesda Naval Hospital. They also experienced the joy of serving humanity through participating in the Student Council Thanksgiving Basket Drive and the Mental Health Drive. Vocational groups orient students the school nurse of small tasks and enable her to chan- nel her efforts toward more demanding problems. Since many of them aspire to become nurses, the girls also gain invaluable experience for the future. 0verlea's nurse's aides relax after their meeting concerning modern first-aid techniques. 56
