-ilgpr WATEl2VlLLlf'S ACTIVITY DDDGDAM uljvery student a partieipantw has become the aim of the activity pro- gram of Waterville Central School. Since the beginning of the centralized school district in Waterville, a definite and sustained effort has been made to extend the program of extra-classroom activities to embrace the interests of every high school student and to encourage every student to take ad- vantage of at least one of these opportunities for self-development. At pres- ent a faculty committee is already devising a plan to make sure that every student is a participant in some 'activity outside of the regular curriculum. Every Waterville student today has an opportunity to enrich his ex- perience by having the fun of voluntarily taking part in stimulating activities in that field of work which he most enjoys. The increased musical program, embracing the chorus, orchestra, and string quintette, provides a rich field for the musically inclined. Budding scientists explore the possibilities of the laboratory in the Science Club. Those seeking dramatic expression revel in the opportunities of the programs and productions of the Thespians. The social graces of dancing may be cultivated in the weekly dancing class. The speech in assembly required of every junior and senior often uncovers unsuspected talent. Prize speaking gives a stimulating objective for speakers of superior merit, and the essay contests, in which the senior high school participate, stimulate creative writing. Agricultural students make practical application of their knowledge in the progressive projects of the Future Farmers. Class officers cooperate in the Student Council in improving school routine. The newly organized chapter of the National Honor Society is a result of the activities of this governing body. Typical of the type of activity being encouraged by the school is the Library Club. Students voluntarily associating themselves with this group are trained by Miss Ruth Evans to do routine library work, such as catalogu- ing books, working at the desk, maintaining the filing systems, and other tasks which in many schools are entrusted only to trained librarians. Each member cheerfully devotes one period a day to this work. But not the least of the accomplishmetits of the group has been the collecting and editing of the school notes for the weekly editions of The Waterville Times. It is our hope that all of the e'-ltra-classroom activfties will eventually with equal success promote the welfare of both the student and the school.
