MATH CLUB ENTERS THE AGE OF COMPUTERS Under the direction of Mr. McHugh, the Math Club of S.P.F.H.S. has provided students with a meaningful program of extra-curricular mathematics. The 1968-1969 school year was the year of the Pro- gramma lOl for the Math Club. The club's major project was instruction on the use of this computer and this was offered to club members and interested students. As a new service, instruction on the Programma 101 was beneficial to the many befuddled students of Algebra II who were forced to tangle for the first time with the complexities of the '4Com- puter Age.

P. S. S. C. CLUB ENTERS STATE-WIDE COMPETITION The PSSC Club has one purpose: to bring students to a better under- standing of physics. This is accom- plished through informal discussions with the advisor, Mr. Tilley, and lec- tures given by other people involved in physics. Occasionally, a well in- formed student Will lead these discus- sions. The culmination of these sessions are the tryouts for the team to be entered in a state-Wide physics com- petition. The S.P.F.H.S. team has consistently ranked high at the State Day Science Tests at Fairleigh Dickin- son University which are held every spring. Mike, how many particles are there in a Mole? Mike Barnett, J on Ballon. IT'S A CHEMICAL REACTION! Based on the assumption that some members of the student body actually have an interest in the field, the Ad- vanced Chemistry Club forms each year to discuss and discover aspects of the science not ordinarily examined in high school classrooms. With Mr. Tilley's guidance and assistance, the members study a college text, in an effort to further develop their knowl- edge on the subject. Through competition consisting of numerous tests at the end of the year, the most outstanding students are chosen to represent our school for the annual State Science Day at Rutgers University. Mr. Tilley helps Bruce Mittledorf with a difficult problem.

CONTINUES TEACHER-AID PROGRAM Future Teachers of America is a club de- voted to those students genuinely interested in the teaching profession. This club explores different aspects of teaching including special education and the Montessouri School, an ex- perimental program. School visitations were held again this year and gave the girls an op- portunity to observe and participate in class- room activities in the elementary schools. Some other activities included having guest speakers and participating in the traditional teacher-aid program under the direction of Mrs. Perka.

FUTURE NURSES SPONSOR PARTY AT LOCAL HOSPITAL Under the direction of the school nurse, Mrs. Egan, F.N.A. officers worked to coordinate an interesting year for club members. A program of lectures covering different medical careers and schools was arranged. Early in the year, members began their annual candy sale to raise funds for a scholarship award and to finance a party for the patients in a local hospital. A successful year culminated with a parent-daughter dinner. A deserving senior was awarded the annual one hundred dollar scholarship to further her education in the medical profession. Pins and nursing scissors were presented to other members who had given time and effort throughout the year. FUTURE NURSES-FIRST ROW, left to right: Janice Bernard, Judy Gage, Betsy Knouse.
