Planning for a career in psychology? Join the Psychology Club. The Psychology Club discusses problems that affect people mentally and emotionally. The Psychology Club is also involved in visiting community services related to psychology and careers in psychology.

The organizer of the club was Mrs. Lucille Stiles, who was also the first sponsor. The club was organized last year. Presently Mrs. Beverly Otto, psychology teacher, is the sponsor. The club's meetings are held every other Friday in C‑106 at 7:45 am. through homeroom. The students in the club elect officers every semester. These officers then decide where to go, conduct business meetings, and decide how to raise money for the club.

An activity is planned every month. Money for these activities comes from the club member's dues. Members pay $1 per semester. the members have also conducted a bake sale for the money needed. Transportation for field trips is not expensive since the school mini‑bus usually is used. To join the club, students must be taking psychology for living or have had the course for one year or a semester.

Some of the field trips were to hospitals such as Lutheran general and other centers that help people with their problems. At Lutheran General students talked to a psychiatrist who told them what methods were used for psychosomatic illnesses. Recently students went to the Illinois center for Psychological Research in Park Ridge.

There, club members learned about research into the areas of extrasensory perception, telepathy, precognition, and other areas of parapsychology.
