With all the changes at Northeast this year, one thing remained constant — the number of organized clubs (social clubs) and informal ‘‘cliques’ (students who ‘hang out’ together) that gave a special flavor to campus life. Most students seem to hang around generally with the same group of people every day. They gather before school be- tween classes, and at lunch. They are usually people who share a particular in- terest, like band, basketball, yearbook, or drama. There are no officers, no nickname, and no dues.

These groups do have names, do have officers, dues, and even jerseys. Some examples are the “Dream Boys’ ‘‘excitement”’ and ‘Private Bachelor Society, (PBS).'’ One thing that sets Dream Boys apart from the others is that it spans more than one school, as well as having members at Southwest and Northeast. Although most people who are not members of a ‘‘clique”’ don’t seem hurt by their elitism, one freshman said, ‘“‘It's un- fair. They think they are so much better than we are.” The only time the school officials become concerned is when there is some friction between the groups. ‘‘I think that it’s okay that they have these cliques ex: cept when they start fighting. Then it becomes wrong, said Mr. Jesse Mays, assistant principal. Senior Will Barbee summed up the thoughts of the clique members. He said, “If you click with the right cliques, you could make friends for life.” £9
