. I , AcT11T112s During previous years clubs at Northwest have met once a month during school hours. This year ou.r clubs meet after school.When this play was set up the loud lamentation from the students deplored the change and predicted the end of clubs at Northwest. It has not worked that way. Clubs meet on the days of their choice and m e e t as often or as rarely as they please. Attendance is as good as it used to be under the old system and is often better. Membership is restricted in some of the clubs but most are free for the choosing. The wide vari ety of offerings allows everybody to find some club that appeals to him. The po int system which is used here keeps all school offices distributed equally and prevents the overburdening of thos e people who are able to do anything and willing to try everything. X Herb Stolz and Frank King were willing to participate in many activities this year, b ut difficulties slowed them up. Throughout the athletic seasons many boys, and even girls, were seen hobbling from class to class on crutches. One of the highlights of the year in student activities is the initiation of the Mono g ra m Club. Inductees are required to wear unusual garbs for two days. During that period they pe r fo r m many tasks and e n c o un t e r some embarrassing situations. Penny races in which the boys push pennies with their noses over a carefully prescribed course this year provided much entertainment for the student spectators. 24
