Caroling at Mercy Hospital during the Christmas season was a highlight of this year's activities for Pre-Med members. Pre-Med Club Increases Knowledge of Medicine The purpose of the Pre-Med club is to introduce all interested students to various fields of medicine and to increase their knowl– edge of the entire medical profession. This year their main activities were in the fields of nursing, occupational and physio– therapy, space medicine and the work of a general practitioner. Members took tours through various hospitals and heard speakers and saw films on these subjects in order to in– crease their understanding. The club also took an active part in Pre– Med functions with the four other Denver high schools. In addition to a city-wide banquet, interested members attended a meeting with all Pre-Med groups, where problems and new ideas were discussed. At Christmas, the club held a special meet– ing and sang carols to patients at Mercy hos– pital. Other activities included studies in the fields of psychology, surgery, pathology and newer trends in medicine. 137
