 CLUBS 1959 marked the passing of the Old Order of the nine Literary Clubs of Central — Gone are the days of Intersociety nights and the songs, jackets, dresses and crepe paper streamers. The shouting, the weeping, and the partying is over. The much contested cup is enshrined in the archives of the school. This was not a sudden demise. The clubs had been gasping in the throes of death for years. And the New Order? Clubs with membership unrestricted except by the interest of the members. Clubs for self-improvement, for school support, for recreation. Central has or will form a club desired by any group. The variety seems limitless. In these clubs vocations are inculcated, friendships are made, personalities devel- oped, and hobbies formed, which will enrich the members’ leisure for a life time. The club life at Central is a vital part of the school life. » , ♦ A 40 t t
