Morton Is The Key to Organization Clubs at Morton meet only once a week. However, during that time many important things are decided. They make decisions on the project they will under¬ take, destination of their trips; or how the club can help others. A student may belong to a variety of clubs, depending on his interests. If helping other peo¬ ple interests him, there are some clubs that have but one purpose - to help others. Several clubs, such as math or phy-chem club, are available for students interested in academics. These clubs help a student to gain more knowledge in the subject and find true enjoyment in the course. Booster Club ardently supports the various athletic teams of MHS and provides transportation to many of the “away” games for the student body. These clubs offer unlimited opportunities to stu¬ dents. As an officer a student is faced with the great responsibility of running a well-organized club. The club members must work hard and be active to obtain the full benefits of an organization. Clubs may even help a student discover in what career he may find the best satisfaction. Organizations introduce to stu¬ dents other people with the same interests as theii own. An organization such as art club, photo club, chorus, or band may help develop a talent that the student may never have known existed.
