While scholarship is, of course, the basic building block of education, there are many other factors to be considered. Extra-curricular activities are an important element in a well-rounded educationg they provide excellent opportunity for im- provement. We were very fortunate in having such a variety of ac- tivities from which to chooseg our widespread interest in these activi- ties was best shown by the fact that some eight hundred awards were presented each year. The value of such school activities lies in the fact that our participation made us more versatile and, in a larger sense, served to broaden our general perspective. This integral part of our school life is presented in the following pages. '2E1 H rs ,Ig f ' X MII' N? a B: 9 ' all Q i 1 ll '29 f t 5 Q , M f' 0 t .i., A 45.959 1 l 7 0 .

AR T CLUB ..'4 ' ai The Art Club, initiated three years ago, was organized with the purpose of offering those students interested in art a chance to develop and learn more about the subject from both the fine arts side and the commercial viewpoint. To date, the Art Club has been highly successful in the realization of its aims. Those students interested in the fine arts have done many oil paintings, water color paintings, charcoal and pastel draw- ings, and pen-and-ink drawings. For those students interested in making art objects, there have been ceramics, pottery-making, and mobiles to do. Meanwhile, those boys interested in the commercial end have gained invaluable experience in handling displays, making signs and posters, and learning how to use the commercial display tools. The club has also been of great service to the school. This club is responsible for most of the posters and art work which is to be found in the school. XPUR TXMEN CLUB The Sportsmen Club was organized for the purpose of increasing and fur- thering an interest in the conservation of America's wild life and natural re- sources. The meetings stressed the prac- tical application of conservation as fit the club's means. Many motion pictures were shown dealing with the aspects of hunting and fishing with regard to con- servation. In addition, much of the club's work was put on display around the school. A tract of land in Patapsco State Park was promised to the club by the state. The Sportsmen plan to plant pine trees to prevent erosion, to stock rivers with fish, and to improve the banks of rivers for fishing. 20
