Organizations Organizations play a very important part in the activities of any school. Because of this, clubs and other activities out- side the usual school work have a very prominent position in our school. All the clubs of this school are formed because of the desire of the pupils. No teacher can start a club. The idea and the plans must come from the pupils. Clubs have a ve1'y definite purpose. In the first place they inform the pupil on subjects-such as chemistry, photography, or languagesg or they give him experience along a certain line. Examples of the latter type are the publication groups. Other organizations teach the students good sportsmanship, give them a chance to develop their athletic abilities, and help to show them how to get along with other people. Then, there are clubs formed for the purpose of helping someone else. Such clubs are the Red Cross, and the Social Science groups. Also, there are the music associations in which the pupil participates because of the enjoyment he gets from creating musical harmony. And so they go on and on, showing how important this lighter side of school life is. Every pupil should belong to at least two clubs. After all-although studies come first-all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. If one cannot be a good leader, he can at least be a good participator, and one's extra-curricular activities count a great deal in one's school life.
