Extracurricular Activities In some schools the buildings are no longer settings for bustling activity when the last bell rings. Rut that is not so here at Arts. The students are always scurrying through the halls to attend various club activities. There are clubs for the future teachers, for fashion designers, journalists, modern dancers, scientists, radio operators, and craftsmen. The Library Guild always welcomes book enthusiasts and the Spanish Club gives the students a broad knowledge of foreign customs. Students who wish to contribute their time and effort take part in the School Service Club or in the Junior Red Cross projects. The Art Service Club enables us to display our art ability in arranging bulletin board displays, and the Stage Crete plays an important part in student productions. I have discovered that we have a rich program of extra curricular offerings to provide relaxation from the 44work“ of the school, as well as important learning experiences. In the planning and direction of activities many of us have developed qualities of leadership and followership for later responsibilities as citizens. There are clubs to suit the needs, interests, and abilities of us all. Most members satisfy their individual interests and still receive the advantages of group activity. The Art Service Club has three outstanding aims: 1-To serve Arts High School through Art in its many areas. 2—lo provide an opportunity to have more art experiences in the type of work most interesting to members. 3—To enrich social contacts by means of get-togethers, dances and trips. Meetings are held on Wednesdays at 2:35 p.m. . Membership requirements: Sample of art work approved bv the club committee and 5.25 dues each term. Mrs. Rosamond H. Hopper is the faculty advisor. The aim of the Drama Club is to acquaint students with a knowledge of acting, and help them to enjoy and appreciate good plays. The faculty advisor is Mrs. Cozzens.

Vita,, i«r capable leadership of Mayor Robert Brtamquell. the Council presented social affairs, supervised student oriental ions, continued support of our uar orphan and completed Arts High's revised Handbook and first boohcoters. The Student Council (above) is the student elected governing body of the school. It consists of two representatives from each homeroom and one from each club who voice student suggestions at the Student Council meetings. Under the guidance of Mrs. Longley, Mr. Chinoy, the administration and the faculty, the Student Council has worked most diligently. The Orchestra (below) under the direction of Mr. Pesile has grown from a few stringed instruments into one of the largest and most active groups in the school. Classes are provided for those pupils who arc interested in learning to play instruments. The members perform at assembly programs, concerts, graduation exercises, and on some special occasions.
