Activities serve to take the pattern created by scholastic and athletic achievements, and make it whole. Our clubs help to create interest in various careers, true, but more important, they give us joy . . . Joy in new-found skills, joy in new-found friends, and joy in ourselves. And it is joy which gives that shimmer to life, that makes everything worthwhile.
