Students may join as many as two different ones, and most students belong to at least one. The organizations meet every other Wed- nesday. On these days, the schedule is divided into seven periods, making time for an activity period of forty minutes. Certain organizations are closely connected with specific classes in order to further the work done in class. Some of these are Future Business Leaders of America, Distributive Education, Future Homemakers of A m e r i c a , Spanish, and Latin. Many organizations are chiefly service clubs for the betterment of the school or community, such as, Student Co-operative Association, L i b r a r y , Firefighters, and Safety Patrol.
