Early Pioneer Participants Activities and athletics invited the participa¬ tion and held the interest of former Clarkites. Clubs such as Girl Reserves and the Radio club correspond to present-day organizations. GAC, C Club and Hi-Y of yesteryear are familiar clubs to¬ day. These and many others kept the first Pio¬ neers busy while helping to broaden their interests and develop their personalities. Five hundred seventy-seven Clark graduates en¬ gaged in a far more serious activity—World War II. Twenty-three gave their lives. Many grad¬ uates served in Korea also. In the short span of 25 years Clark’s athletic teams have honored her not only with many vic¬ tories and nobly accepted defeats, but also with numerous championships and awards. In 1937 the wrestling team won the State Wrestling Cham¬ pionship. The football team captured the Western Division Title in 1943 and again in 1944. Not to be outdone, the basketball team won the Sectional Tournament in 1943, the Conference Title in 1944 and twice won the Western Division Title. In 1956 the tennis team attained the Western Divi¬ sion Title. The Commando course was designed to prepare Junior and Senior boys physically for their future in the Armed Service. (1943 PH) 7
