c lubs and organizations hold special meaning for students Q kjtudents may chose to be involved in and committed to a large variety of intellectual and extra-curricular clubs and organizations. There are many club to join and the list continues to grow. Ten years ago there we ' re only a few clubs to join. One had little choice of what one wanted to do. I joined Speech and Debate for extra-curricular activities for college. It helps me speak in front of large groups of people, but most of all I thought it would be fun, said Valeska DeFrieri a tenth grader. The type of students that join the clubs are varied by race, age and size. Clubs are important to the younger students because it lets them be with older students. ' T am participating in chorus, because it ' s fun and I like performing, said Jon Emaus, seventh grader. Many students join clubs to help get them into college. I think it will help to find out about different cultures and sharing ideas with each other, and having activities with each other. The organizations will help the students have extra-curricular activities written on the cum cards for col- lege, said Tricia Estares, eleventh grader and President of the French club. There are also students that don ' t even think about college, and they just want to have fun while they are going through high school.
