United Fund co-chairmen Dan McGinnis and Deb- by Ruby supervised collecting of $353 at C. P. H. S. Juniors boosted their class treasury by $522 in their concession stand at football games. Rush, rush, rush — that’s what many a C P. H. S.’er does after the 3 o’clock bell. For although classes are often hec¬ tic, after-school hours are even more so for many students. Nearly 400 C. P. H. S.’ers joined the ranks of the working in their part-time jobs ranging from secretarial and re¬ ceptionist positions to newsboys, me¬ chanics, and stock boys. But the mainstay of extra-curricular activities is — and probably always will be — the clubs and organizations that abound within the halls of C. P. H. S. Increased memberships show that no matter what the field of activity there are students eager to join it. Two organizations, the band and choir groups, are co-curricular and partici¬ pating students may earn academic credits. The remaining 25 organizations are extra-curricular, usually meeting after school for their activities which include everything from practicing parliamentary procedure to making pos¬ ters to boost the Bulldogs. At still other times the projects had serious purposes. Having so many different clubs pre¬ sents its problems. A student must de¬ cide whether he would rather tinker with a camera, learn the value of con¬ tour farming, or get practice in teach¬ ing. The choice is difficult to make, and many students ' take part in four or five different organizations. Some organizations are honorary, choosing their members. Only letter winners in sports may belong to Let- terman’s Club; students who do well scholastically may be chosen for Na¬ tional Honor Society; while experienced hams” become Thespians and journa¬ lists Quill and Scroll members. But, be they honorary or otherwise, the clubs at C. P. H. S. work for one com¬ mon goal — making C. P. H. S.’ers well- rounded individuals.
