Medical Careers Club Cruising down the halls of Sacred Heart Hospital behind wheel chairs, giving bed baths, mopping floors and running errands kept determined members of the Medical Careers Club busy. Tedious though they were, the long hours paid off as many members gained their caps and pins, identifying them as Red Cross volunteer nurses' aides. An X-ray technician, a pharmacist, and other guest speakers from the medical world highlighted the monthly meetings, presided over by Mike Bagaason. Adviser Mrs. june Ketel, school nurse, partici- pated with lectures on the Red Cross training program. Field trips to mental and tuberculosis hospitals, as well as hayrides and parties, rounded out the year's ambitious schedule. Chess Club Checkmate! A familiar word to members of the Chess Club, one which could mean victory or defeat. Meeting almost daily in Room 208, members pitted their skill against one another in tournament play. Winners participated in matches sponsored by the Willamette Valley Chess League composed of Cottage Grove, Creswell, Sheldon, South Eugene, Springfield, Thurston and XVillamette high schools. Demonstrations and analysis of games by members increased their skill in this challenging game. Adviser Mrs. joan Haworth's per- sonal interest inspired the members, led by President Robert Yood.

The club was of invaluable service to the school when posters were needed for dances, games and other functions. Activities included the painting in oils of a mural, which will remain permanently outside the art room, and the decorating of windows at Safeway stores during the Christmas season. Fashion designers, architects, and textile workers, as well as artists from the Uni- versity of Oregon, spoke to the Paletteers about their respective careers in the world of art. Sketching trips were taken to the coast, the McKenzie River, and throughout the Eugene area. At the end of the year, the most active member was awarded a 310.00 gift certificate to Cole's Artist Supplies. Headed by Clell Gibson, the group was advised by Maurice Van. 91
