The Future Teachers of America, under the expert guidance of Miss George, our guid- ance counselor, accomplished many things this year. The purpose of the club is to study and identify the qualities, traits, and aptitudes which are essential for successful teaching. Different teaching fields are studied. To be a member of the club one has to have an interest in the teach- ing profession. The following members were chosen to serve the club as officers: Helene Horovitz, President; Donna Schiavo, Vice President; Jo Ann Fratini, Secretary. The club raised money this year by selling book covers and sweaters to the student body. Club meetings were held, during lunch hour, on one Wednesday of each month at which time various problems about teaching were dis- cussed. Often during the year senior members were seen walking about the halls looking very neat and well-dressed. This happened on the days when the members were given opportunities to teach in the elementary schools. A great deal of practical experience was gained by members who did substitute teaching during the year. 23

The College Club, under the leadership of Miss George, our guidance counselor, has com- pleted its fourth year at Union High School. The members, of the club, are composed of seniors interested in furthering their education. The main purpose of the club is to answer all questions the members may have about col- lege requirements and the life of a college stu- dent. Since the group doesn’t hold regular month- ly meetings, there is no need for officers. The faculty adviser, however, sees that they meet when there is a problem to be discussed. Many times during the course of the year the members of the club could be found in Miss George’s room seeking help in filling in appli- cations or applying for scholarships. The Nurses Club, sponsored by Miss George, is devoted to girls interested in the nursing pro- fession. This year the club consists of thirty-five jun- ior and senior girls interested in becoming fa- miliar with local hospitals and training oppor- tunities. In order to establish interest and famil- iarity in nursing as a career, the members take hospital tours. Some hospitals visited were Mercy, Washington, and Presbyterian. They have heard guest speakers and discussed the profession at their meetings. On November 4, the club saw a movie and heard a guest speaker, Mrs. Frank, who is on the teaching staff at Washington Hospital. She outlined the important information that must be considered essential to those selecting a nurses- training school. The members were familiarized with areas in the profession which are available.

QnduAbiiaL (Ani , 'Hoa. (Active (lfacuc Cabinet makers Experience is something that must be achieved by each individual. Through the efforts of the Industrial Arts Club, its members gain much useful knowledge. This knowledge gained by the boys will be of great value after their graduation. The Industrial Arts Club is under the spon- sorship of Mr. Philip Sauter. It began the years activities by electing the following officers: Presi- dent, John Krynak; Vice President, Robert Davis; Secretary-Treasurer, John Minko. New members were selected at the same meeting at which the officers were elected. Hageman Bolling, Tom Puskarich, Bill Revay, and Mickey LaRocka were chosen. Club meetings are held once a month dur- ing club period in the shop. The members are taught the importance of the correct use of shop equipment. This knowledge must be acquired before the boys are permitted to use any machin- ery. The club members are frequently seen about the school working on stage sets, repairing fuse boxes, fixing chairs, or other school equipment. When not doing this, they are working on small- er projects of their own. The efficient manner with which the mem- bers complete their tasks deserves much credit. Bottom Row, I. to r.: J. Minko, R.
