116 Activities School provides for not only the academic need, but the need of a social outlet. The values of cooperation and teamwork and the joys of friendship certainly cannot be taught nor fully experienced solely within the classroom. They must be experienced by the individual in a man- ner relative to the students’ interests. Because of our schools’ wide cross section of students, self expression becomes as intriguing as it is unique. With interests varying from the tradition- al to the near obscure, no one is left without an opportunity to share and to grow outside of the structured class.
