During this time the sun expands itself and contemplates. During the course of high school activities, our interests broaden. We need an opportunity just like the sun, to stop and express ourselves, to release penned-up emotions, and to participate in recreational outlets. lt is through the many clubs and organizations at Northwest Cabarrus that students receive these opportunities. The idea of self-expression can be seen in many forms. Our clubs strive to improve our abilities. Mechanical skills and handwork are seen through the activities of the Masonry and Electronics clubsg intellectual capabilities are honored through the scholastic organizations such as Beta, French, and Math clubsg creativity is recognized through the Art Club, band and chorus. By participating in clubs. students expand and shine. Their abilities are noted and they not only receive self-satisfaction, but help to improve our school. Through their club activities, students broaden their interests and become a dominate element of school life, just as the sun is the dominate power of the afternoon sky.
