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.
