THE BLACK AND GOLD L-, - - JUNE - 1936 - s Central High School CContinued from Page 85 The result of this fine spirit is shown by the ac- complishments of Central students after graduation. No- tices from colleges frequently tell of the awarding of some scholarship or prize to a former student. Occasionally a student returns to tell of some promotion or new em- ployment, and again we lind proof of the line work of Central High School. Today, in Central High School, extra-curricular ac- tivities are rapidly assuming an importance second only to the regular curriculum of the school, and officials, teachers, and even our parents are awaking to the realiza- tion that these activities are as vital in their own way as the training we receive in Latin, chemistry, or English. Gradually, such activities are being acknowledged as a legitimate part of the school. Many of our organizations are dictated by actual need. The Camera Club of Central serves as an excellent exam- ple. The club was planned and organized in order to see what material, trained or untrained, the school had to olfer, and what could be done with those people who were interested in photography. On becoming acquainted with the students who enrolled in the club, several very able young men were discovered, These students are, as a direct result of the formation of the Camera Club, en- tirely responsible for the candid camera shots and many of the photographs used in this yearbook, The value of the extra-curricular activity is unques- tioned. It provides many opportunities in which the stu- dents assume responsibility, a highly desirable quality in the make-up of any individual. It teaches cooperation, another helpful characteristic. In our classes, we are per- haps taught or told what cooperation is. but it is only when We are working together, in various ways, perhaps giving a dance, publishing a yearbook, or producing a play that we are given an opportunity to practice what we have been taught in class. In addition, we are having developed in us, aside from responsibility and cooperation, the qualities-initiative and leadership. In the World of today, everything and everyone is in a tremendous rush. To be able to compete or even to keep pace with present-day activities, an in- dividual must be mentally and physically alert, a leader, and must possess initiative. Most students realize there is a very worthwhile place for men and women who combine these characteristics. And our extra-curricular activities are just where we are receiving this training and being given the chance to develop these fine qualities. Among our many extra-curricular activities we num- ber, aside from all athletic units, language clubs, dia- matic groups, musical organizations, clubs encouraging intelligent discussion of current events, both vocational and international, literary organizations, and many types of craft clubs. In each and every type of extra-curricular activity in which a student is engaged, he is putting into practice the qualities of initiative, leadership, responsibil- ity, and cooperation. Aside from developing these fine qualities in us, our extra-curricular activities sometimes help us to discover within ourselves, talents we had here- tofore regarded merely as a pleasant hobby. Important as this is in literary and musical groups, it is especially sig- nificant in the various craft groups where self-expression and creative work are encouraged to a very great extent. Extra-curricular activities prepare the boy or girl for the time when he will finish school, and will meet life, alone and unaided. Whether his chosen field of endeavor is scientific, commercial, or artistic, the training he has received through his extra-curricular work will help him extremely. These activities also serve another purpose: they bring the school and the student much closer together. Student interest is stimulated if he has a part, no matter how small, in the managing and well-being of his school. There is developed between the teacher and pupil a better understanding. thus making for better work in the class- room. Our extra-curricular activities are more than complete- ly justilied when we consider the many, many values they offer, the varied purposes they serve, and the countless numbers of students they help to lind themselves and their vocations. There is nothing that can do more to unite a student body than sports: therefore in almost every high school today sports are the most prominent of extra-curricular activities. Sports, unlike other activities, benelit the spectator as well as the participant. To the athlete they offer develop- ment of character and physique to the highest degree. To the school they offer unification. The range of sports in our high school today is wide and varied. Beginning with the great outdoor sport- football, to the artful indoor fencing, almost every sport is included. The boys have six major teams and six minor teams. The girls can boast of four major teams and one minor. These sports are so diversiiied that hardly any student is unable to place himself on some one team. It is almost impossible to estimate the value of sports to the athlete. As the classroom helps to build up the fContinued on Page 1625 -12
