STUDENT ACTIVITY PROGRAM After a student survey was held the faculty and the students thought that a Club Program should: 1. Provide opportunities for students to explore their special interests, 2. Encourage the development of new pupil interests, 3. Enrich the already established school program and build school unity and morale, 4. Develop social abilities of students, 5. Train students in leadership, fellowship and general citizenship. Each club is made up of volunteers, except a few clubs which require try-outs. Those people who are chosen to become cheerleaders for 1951-'52 are chosen from students other than those who belong to team or varsity, again providing opportunity for more students to participate in school activities. It was approved that membership be selected for Glee Club and Argus Club. The teacher-sponsor is responsible for the discipline of his club members during the club period. A student may belong to two clubs. Almost everyone jumps at this chance. Students may withdraw from a club by presenting to the Activities Committee a written application giving reasons for such withdrawals. The committee with the sponsor will then decide whether or not the withdrawals should be made. With- drawals may be made only during the first quarter of the school year. During the fall a Sports Carnival in which all the clubs participate, is held. The proceeds are used for the needs of the clubs. For this reason dues are not necessary. Each club is given an allotment according to its needs. We feel the variety of our clubs takes care of the objectives as set up by the students and faculty. at . .. 5 Q at iagagic V1 , V , Sl ..
