No Journey through our high school days would be complete with out a mention of our many extra-curricular activities. Each of us had the opportunity to try our ability in ever so many fields of endeavor. Whatever we learned in the classroom, we were able to practice in the varied areas of our clubs and organizations. It was in these activities that most of us tasted in some degree the sweetness of success. On our own initiative we planned many proiects. We became acquainted with the difficulties of realizing our ambitions. Cooperation was needed, and was always forth- coming at the crucial time. How often was it that we found a helping hand! How often did we find ourselves going astray when the guiding hand of a faculty moderator led us back along the right path. We learned many things about each other in these activ- ities. We became aware ot the necessity of mutual aid and understanding. But most of all, we realized the importance which the clubs played in preparing us for our future Journey to Success .
