ACTIVITIES No program of education is truly complete unless it in- cludes curricular as well as extra-curricular activities. Such activities constitute the bases of wholesome living by provid- ing the cues which prepare us for playing the responsible roles which life holds for us. These activities have served not only to enrich our lives but to develop within us that spirit of fellowship and co-oper- ation which directs our lives today and should make us better citizens tomorrow. Having been integrated into the life of E. C. H. S. , those of us who have been participants in the curricular as well as extra-curricular activities of our school, hope to achieve in- tegration into the larger, more complex life of the modern world.
