Scholars Put Their Energy Towards Clubs, Classes, And Competitions n believe aca- demic extra- curricular ac- tivities are fun and also a good learning experience. What is an extracurricular activ- ity? The dictionary definition is, ly- ing outside one ' s regular duties or routine. But many students be- lieved that an extracurricular activ- ity pertains only to sports. Howev- er, many Arlington students were shreddin ' it in academics. The Academic Decathlon Team went to competitions, and the Astronomy Club learned about the stars and planets. Either way, these students were still involved in an extracurri- cular academic activity. Among the choices for academic activities was the Astronomy Club. It was started in the spring semes- ter of last year by science teacher, Mr. Jay Van Meter. Mr. Van Meter revealed, The students had to be dedicated, because we had to raise all of our funds ourselves. The school did not give us a budget. Students joined this club to learn the patterns of constellations and the names of the brighter stars. Arlington also had a few bright stars of it ' s own. They were known as the Academic Decathlon team. Eight faithful people studied two hours a day, three days a week, after school with Mrs. Linda Stone- breaker, their coach. Their true dedication was tested when they were told that their competition date had been changed from No- vember to January. Senior, Dylan Schott revealed, It would have been nice to have the competition in November, but after all of the hard work we put in it was still worth it to go in January.
