CHORUS Honor SocieTy hung ouT The SRO sign soon aTTer each of Their meeTings began. Besides being a source of enTerTainmenT, clubs have been-and always will be-a viTal TacTor in deTermining The ClinToniTes' TuTure profes- sion. ProspecTive medicos have goTTen a head sTarT by ioining The FirsT Aid Club and The Medical SocieTy. For Those inTeresTed in science There was an impressive array oT clubs: AlchemisTs, Bio Club, Chem Club, Micro-Biology Club, and The NaTure STudy Club-To menTion a Tew. PoTenTial lawyers had The Law SocieTy and iTs STudenT CourT Tor a Train- ing ground, while The ClinTon Cameramen, PhoTo BulleTin, and M.Q. PhoTo Club claimed swarms of shuTTerbugs. Many oT The music makers oT Tomorrow were TirsT in The groove Tor ClinTon's Chorus, Band, OrchesTra, and Harmonica Club. Holcus-polcus Tans Tloclced To The Magic Circle, masTers oT The loga- riThm descended upon The MaTh Team. Mosholu's greaT Thinkers pushed pawns Tor The Chess Club, philaTelisTs showed Their wares in The STamp Club. IT you Travel Trom The heighTs of Blueberry Hill To The depThs oT The Blue Danube, you'll noT Tind a club sysTem surpassing ClinTon's in qualiTy or quanTiTy. 29

To Those oT us like Sam, CIinTon has oTFered innumerable Tun-giving and educaTionaI exTra-curricular acTiviTies.
