A Repumzion Thai 'r Growing A -.......,,,,.. Q 'fnw- 50 Activities were one thing that Northwest, was not short on. The school activity calendar was constantly full of activities ranging from Homecoming festivities to fund-raising events and various competitions between classes and organizations. There was almost something for everyone who wanted to get involved in a school activity. Club memberships were available to those interested in foreign languages, business or radio. There were also clubs dealing with academic and religious emphasis. Some organizations were for social growth and others made students more aware of the growing needs that surround them. Club participation was down when compared to past years. Clubs met before or after school, thus limiting student involvment due to employment or lack of transportation. Regardless of club membership, each organization had a year full of meaningful activities and experiences. School-wide activities involving the total student body included Homecoming, jr-Sr Prom, Bear Frolics United Way, All-School Carnival and Pizzaz. The ac- tivities program was expanded with the introduction of Winter Homecoming activities. One major activity was barely over before the next one was underway. The large number of activities made it very difficult for anyone to escape being involved in something. Activities were not just to fill up time though. They allowed students the chance to grow in the area of friendships and the area of being socially aware. Ac- tivities also gave students a sense of pride because of their contributions to the school's activity program. Acti ities Activities ' 69
