How does one meet new people, gain a sense of responsibility, learn the excitement of competition, and get in shape at the same time? Thirty percent of the student body found out by participating in a sport, whether individual or team. Sports were a way in which one ex- pressed his or her competitive atti- tude, and was a proving ground in a psychological sense. Many new students entered a sport to meet other people. This field is an especially fertile area for friendship because an aura of unity surrounds the team, an aura which expresses the feeling of us against them, and we are better!” This ca- maraderie encouraged each ath- lete's competitive drive. Being on a team involved more than just ability; it also taught the participants a sense of responsibil- ity to one s self and to the team. Is a character-building trait, re- sponsibility is essential to the suc- cess of the individual in life. Another aspect of sports was the chance for each athlete to prove their abilities through competition. By the end of the year, every in- dividual evaluated his contribution to the team. Getting in shape was also a factor in persuading many individuals to join an athletic team. However, put- ting in a lot of time after school, practicing on their own over the weekends and vacations, and sur- viving the hard practices for the whole season proved the dedica- tion of each athlete.

Many students joined clubs and activities because it was a way of meeting and socializing with many new people in fields of common in- terest. These interests allowed the participants to express their opin- ions on particular subjects via the organization. It also permitted each member to strengthen his or her skills. Joining clubs gave students an opportunity to contribute a part of themselves to benefit the school, and helped students to develop a greater sense of involvement within the school. By the end of the year, nearly everyone had attended a meeting of an organization which interested them. With forty-six or- ganizations to choose from, there was a club for everyone. Clubs con- veyed different aspects of our cul- ture to the student body. They also offered an escape from the day-to- day routine of school. Whether in cooking, reciting, organizing a spe- cial production, or just to have fun, each participant was enthusiasti- cally involved within his or her par- ticular organization.
