Clubs The club program is an interesting feature of the Champaign Junior High School. The opportunity to participate in the student activities is open to all pupils. Of the forty clubs each pupil chooses one or more which he would like to join. It is in the club atmosphere that a pupil can really be himself. Here the pupil is given an opportunity to exercise alternate fellowship and leadership. It is said that happiness has the tendency to increase the moral and gen- eral efiiciency of everybody. Our clubs are recreational in nature. The boys and girls will not soon forget the enjoyable moments spent in pursuing a favorite hobby, nor those happy associations with club members and sponsors. - A CAPELLA CHOIR The A Capella Choir was under the supervision of Miss Rose. The President the first semester was Louis Parrugia: the Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer was Irene South- wood. The same officers were retained the second semester.

This Department was supervised by Miss Bassett. The work of this Department was to establish order during the fire drills and to inspect the class rooms for orderliness and cleanliness. As an incentive toward the goal of cleanliness the department awarded a banner every two weeks to the room which was rated cleanest and most orderly according to the decision of the committee. This Department assisted the Department of Social Welfare in promoting school beauty and in keeping a clean school. This last Department was also concerned with the individual pupil and visitor needs. The members supervised the work of the Hospitality Committee, which cooperated with students and teachers by rendering thoughtful, helpful, and courteous service to teachers and classmates. They gave aid to the visitors by showing them throughout the building. Miss O'Byrne formulated and directed the work of this group. The Department of Social Welfare has two cooperating bureaus. Under the direction of Miss Kannmacher the Bureau of Social Welfare operated. The Hospitality Committee is an enlargement of this group. In order to promote school attractiveness the Bureau of Decoration set standards for each home room to meet. Inspectors graded each room several times a week and greatly increased the beauty of our school. Miss Cross a.dvised this bureau. There was a Faculty-Pupil-Government Committee to promote cooperation between the students and faculty. It was headed by Mr. McCall the first semester, and Miss McGinty the second. lt advised and sponsored each division of the pupil government plan. IRTY-SIX RETRO
