f NVith the addition of a new guidance pro- gram at Union High School a new club was organized, lts members were the junior and senior girls who were interested in nursing as a career. Nliss George, the guidance counselor, is the advisor. and she meets with the girls once a month. At the meetings they discuss such topics as which hospital they will train in or which plan of obtaining their R.N.', is most feasible. Nliss George suggested that the girls choose a few hospitals they would like to visit. The club's first trip was to the VVashing- ton Hospital. Student nurses, acting as guides, took the girls through the hospital. The girls also toured the student nurses' dormitories. A few of the girls were so well impressed with the hospital and its maintenance that they made applications for admission to the hospital for next fall. Later in the year the club visited the Pres- byterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, a larger hos- pital than the NVashington Hospital. Some members of the club made inquiries about the hospitalis college program. With Miss Ceorgeis help the girls had a very nice year and leamed much to help them in their future nursing careers.

Chastulik. , jful-JCL , The Tri-Ili-Y, a girls, organization, is affili- ated with the Y. M. C. A. Its purpose is to create. maintain, and extend throughout the home, school, and community high standards of Christian character. All junior and senior girls are eligible to become members of the Alpha club. In September the Alpha officers planned and conducted an induction service for all the new members of both the Alpha and Beta clubs. Each Tuesday and Thursday the chaplains conduct devotions over the public address system with student volunteers Who assist them. In May, a Mother-Daughter banquet was held. At this banquet, officers for the follow- ing year were installed. The project carried on by the club alter- nates each yearg however it is either a club, community, or World service project. Last year, the members are proud to say, they helped finance their vice president, Sally Lof- fert, to the XVorId Centennial which was held in Paris, France. This was the first time that Union High School had the honor of having a student chosen a delegate to a meeting in a foreign country. This year the club's project was to raise money for the Burgettstown Pub- lic Library. Means of making money were the annual Mum,' dav at the Moon Town- ship game. the selling of salt water taffy, and the selling of ball point pens. This active group carries out its purpose yearly by setting high standards for others to see and follow.
