74 CLUBS
Students active in clubs that reflect their interests.
The Future Health Professions is an organization for
students interested iln a health career. Since the health
field is varied, it is necessary for students to become
familiar with all the opportunities available in this area.
The purpose of the Future Health Professions is to ac
quaint students with their specific health career choice.
This is accomplished through field trips, attending semi
nars, and workshops. Since most of the members are
future nurses, they participate in overnight visits at
Nurses Training Schools. Also, members of FHP are in
volved in community affairs. Candy and bake sales are
held to raise money so needy baskets may be distributed
at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Projects are also
planned on holidays to brighten hospital wards and
Nursing Homes.
One of the most unusual clubs at Wilson is "The Organ-
ians". Taking the name from "Star Trek", the group is
actively involved in studying and participating in science
projects, dealing both with fact and science fiction. With
interests ranging from Astronomy, Rocketry, Space Ex
ploration, and science fiction, the Organians meet on a
regular basis, working on projects in school and plan
ning and participating in field trips to Edmund Scientific
Company, a planetarmm. Solar Energy Displays, and Star
Trek Conventions. The Organians nave published The
Organian Enti'zine, a magazine of science articles and
poetry. Fund raising projects include the popular "but
ton-making" activity. A miniature Star Trek "Transport
er Room," has been constructed and will be taken to Star
Trek Conventions for display in the art shows.
