The feature that has helped to make the social lives of students at LaPorte High so full is the great participation by the faculty and students in extra-curricular activities. Many of our clubs were organized years ago and others have been started more recently. The only official clubs in 1924 were the Hi-Y Club and the El-Y Club. The Junior Amateur Musical Club, sponsored by the senior group, was begun in 1924 to help promote good music. The year 1929 saw the organization of several groups including the Concert Glee Club and the Junior Red Cross. Girl Re- serves, once a YMCA organization, became a school club in 1931. The first Mother and Daughter Dessert, now an annual affair, was in that same year. Presently, G. R. is the largest organization in LaPorte High. The Library Club, which was also organized in 1931, was formed to promote cooperation be- tween the students and the library assistants. The group printed the News Noser. THE SENIOR ACT in the 1946 May Daze featured a night out at “The Elephant Club.
