Future Nurses of America The Future Nurses of Americas main goal this year was to inform interested students about the careers available in the field of nursing. The club has had speakers from area hospitals come to speak about the programs offered where they worked to help the mem- bers decide what type of nursing program they would like to follow twhether it be for a diploma, degree, or associate degreel. Their hope was that the members would gain useful information which would help guide them toward the futures of their choice, based upon a good general knowledge about nursing. Members were encouraged to participate in prepara- tory jobs such as being hospital volunteers, nurses aides, or working on service projects so that they might IRST ROW: 8. Green, A.

With a veterinarian, a psy- chiatrist, an osteopath, a Red Cross worker from the blood bank, an obstetrician, and a pathologist for speakers, it is one of the most varied clubs in the school. In between meetings, Ars Medica participat- ed in the AFS Bazaar and Homecoming. Their booth at the Bazaar, though it profited only one dollar, was fun to make and run, as was the homecoming float. Since Mrs. Brannen left last year, the clubs new sponsor was Mrs. Sayare. Due to her congeniality, the officers were able to work quite well with her in planning ideas for programs. The field trips were ex- tremely interesting, especially the tour of Penhurst which gave a fairly good view of what hospitals and schools for the mentally retarded are like. But the ice cream stop on the return trip was the thing which really made the day, and the year. Ars Medica FIRST ROW: L. RykaczeWSki, M. Webster, B. Hale, M. Garshman, W. Goodrich. SECOND ROW: G.

One of the most difficult and sometimes depressing tasks in the school is that of student government. The ulti- mate goal of all Student Council organizations is to work as closely as possible with both administrators and stu- dents for the benefit of everyone in P-W. Its a goal which needless to say has not yet been realized. This is not to say that Student Council was inactive this year. Council got off to a good start by sponsoring the years first pep-rally. For those that remember, a thunder- storm caused an liafter the last minute change, and ev- eryone went back inside. At least give Council credit for knowing to come in out of the rain. This pep-rally was in- dicative of a very rocky October and November. It seemed that Council was always up against one difficulty or another. Towards December, things settled down enough for Council to start getting things done. Besides running bus- es to basketball games and sponsoring dances, Council prepared an extensive report on the study hall situation, and spent a great deal of time trying to improve conditions in the I.M.C. Crusades for student rights and an end t vandalism were also taken up. The most significant thing that Council did was to shift its emphasis away from paper drives and bake sales an toward a greater concern with student policies. It is hope that this will set a precedent for the future. This years Council can best be described as being the initial link in . long chain of increasing liberalization in the schools. Th task of the Council in the following years will be made eas- ier because of this.

World Affairs Council American Field Service tilnteresting best describes the programs of the World Affairs Council this year. Under the leadership of Peter Schwartz, President, Fran Rose, Vice-president, and Mr. Carl Goodwin, Sponsor, the Councilis goals have been re-es- tablished, thus resulting in itis total reorganiza- tion. Meetings that were once primarily club business discussions have become forums on world problems. Also the recent institution of committee groups has created learning as well as a more meaningful club experience for its members. Philadelphia forums were also avail- able to members who want to further broaden their views on the world,s problems. Under their new sponsor, Mr. Feiner, the American Field Service has been as busy as ever, with fund raising projects, and with more internationally-minded programs such as hav- ing exchange students from area schools visit and stay the weekend, as they did in the spring.
