Club Life Fulfills High School Needs After school hours find numerous students ot John Marshall busily engaged in the various extracurricular activities and sundry clubs provided for them. Friendships are established among those who wouldn't normally become acquainted during the pulsing routine of their classroom studies. Though many of the club meetings are actually composed of material which is similar to that studied in daily classes, the students seem to appreciate the tact that the gatherings are held on an informal level and demand absolutely no homework, with the exception of the organizing ot the meetings or presentations. Each club is organized with a specific purpose whether it be to encourage musical abilities, dramatic performances, school spirit, international understanding, scholarship, leadership, service to school and community, or iust plain pleasure.
