LUBS o have Activities beneficial to all which were not enjoyed several years ag made a debut among the students of I-loly Family. Not yet in practice in 1920 were the many clubs which have sprung up to provide advantages for the students. Among these clubs is the Library Club for which there was no special need when the doors were first open to students because the enrollment was small and books scarce, Now with the vast number of students filling Holy Family to the brim , therehas arisena need for special library work. Officers are elected to see that the work of running the library and keeping the books in tip top shape is maintained. Our sports, too, are now connected with a special club, the Pep Club The Pep Club is open to girls from all grades in the high school. Their functions include attendance at the games, to cheer and encourage the players to wil Another club just recently added is the Red Cross Chapter. Through it students join in the charitable work that has helped many unfortunate people. This organization has done things such as filling gift boxes and sending them to children abroad, making Christmas stockings for the poor, and washing cars to obtain blood donations. We have truly advanced from the ways of the first classes at Holy Family. We have more extracurricular activities to help the students enjoy their high school yearjs. Our clubs are active and are doing fine things. They are helping to improve the students so that their lives will benefit from the work they are doing now. '1.
