Is Plus a school of CIIQUCSQ Yes th1s school IS a school of cl1ques but 1n a school thls slze It lb entlrely unavoldable When I g1adu ated from hlgh school there were 18 of us ln the entlre class and we were Just one llttle cl1que and we all knew each other In a school of 1 900 th1s IS 1mposs1ble so the maJor1ty of stu dents gather a group of fr1ends around them A cl1que IS not bad unless It 1nter feres Wlth school Splflt smce a cl1que should be a cog ln the mach1nery oper atlng the school CIIQUSS cease to be beneficlal when they become uncharl table to others A cl1que does not have to be frxendly to all but It has to be charltable to all Mr Rlegert I belleve there are few actual cl1ques at P1us Naturally there are varlous groups w1th1n our school but all of us certa1nly couldn t go around as one crowd We ve become too large At a blg gathermg such as a dance however I don t th1nk there are any nlcer k1ds than those at Plus when lt comes to belng frlendly and assoclatlng w1th others from outslde thexr own groups or from dlfferent schools Jan Kessemch 204 No all the glrls and boys I know make fr1ends w1th everyone not Just certaln people I myself don t belong to a cl1que and I know lots of other klds who dont Sandy Gengler 403 I th1nk there are a number of cl1ques ln school, but none are too bad People who hang around cl1ques are elther weak or they try to act blg Ronald Groeschl Plus to a certam extent IS a school of cl1ques They are qulte prevalent among the upperclassmen but I do not know much about the fresh1es and sophs They are good 1n some ln stances because the partlcular groups do a lot for the school betterment In most cases they are only concerned w1th the lnterest of those 1n thelr 1m medlate group For th1S reason they serve as a source of unhapp1ness for many students Marge Powers 202 Yes I th1nk that Plus IS made up of a serles of cl1ques Personally I th1nk that there are too many Thus some of the klds who are not popular are left out of group act1v1t1es If T ey Say . I th1nk that our school has only the normal amount of cl1ques Ive notlced many new klds who were taken lnto the crowd wlthout much trouble It 18 only normal to have cl1ques because certain types of peo ple stick together These people usu ally have the same types of charac ters and therefore get along together very well Rlchard Schnelder 208 6 we could ellmlnate the cl1ques of the school, I th1nk we all could get along a lot better Dlck Burgmeler 212 Yes I th1nk there are cl1ques at P1us It IS so hard for a new student 1n school to make frxends and to be fectly good when you re on the 1ns1de lookmg out but I certa1nly don t envy the pos1t1on of one on the outslde look 1ng 1n Unfortunately many people Slmply dont rate a H1 or an 1nv1 tatlon to Jo1n the crowd so they re left at the s1del1nes and I don t th1nk there 1S anythlng more p1t1ful than a k1d lost and hurt lookmg try 1ng to find a place and people to eat Wlth 1n the cafeterla Dona Hefter 202 I don t exactly thlnk the school IS a school of cl1ques but I do th1nk that there IS a partlallty to the frlends you plck Although you find this ln all schools lt doesn t help the school at all Kay Graeff 404 There are groups of CIIQUGS 1n PIUS xn my op1n1on There are cer tam groups that th1nk they own everythlng If a person doesnt get along or lsn t popular he has hardly any chance of gettlng 1nto a group Carolyn Stublnskn 106 D , , 9 ' 7 , - 7 Y . . . , 0 , 'Tiki' Q I . . , 9 ' 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 7 . , , 9 . 1 I l , . . , . 1 1 3 ' . . . , , ' accepted, it's a shame.
