CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS The extra curricular activities of the Berlin High School have contributed a great deal to the scholastic standing and moral of the students.

We hope that all future classes will carry on in extra curricular work. The School offers in the line of clubs and organiza- tions the following: Agricultural Club, Art Club, Beacon Staff, Camera Club, College Typewriting Club, Com- merce Club, Dramatic Club, Geology Club, Home Eco- nomics Club, Honor Society, Motif Club, Music Club, Sea Scouts, Student Council, 4-H Club.
