NONINVOLVENE NT Clubs Enthusiasm Deminished People refuse to get involved and nothing gets done. Q Your years at school, the aquaintances you make and the good times you experience, re- flect upon you for the rest of your life. These memories oc- curred at a socialble level with people who shared the same com- mon interests as yourself. People with similar hobbies found they could enjoy them- selves more if the 'oined s e- Y l P cial interest clubs. Unfortun- ately, the student body at Sab- ino has seemed to abandon the importance of school clubs and their functions. To analyze this problem, the attitudes of the students are needed. When clubs fail to accom- plish the things they aim to do, the enthusiasm of its members diminishes. Year after year, trips are planned carefully and never leave the school parking lot. When disappointments like this constantly happen, club motivation is lost and is hard to get back. The loss of moti- vation is often the downfall of any club. People refuse to get involved and nothing gets done. Who is to blame for this, no one can say. Sponsers simply supervise. The responsibility of organization rests on the shoulders of the student mem- bers. Club officials should be selected for their hard work and dedication. At the beginning of each school year, clubs should have membership drives in order to encourage interested people. By early, carefull planning and full cooperation, the objectives of the group can be easily ful- filled. But why don't clubs plan more carefully? And why are so many club activities unsuccessful? Many students have given up on school clubs and find they get more done individually. It is very sad that hobbies are not shared simply because of lack of involvement. Perhaps the impor- tance of extra-curricular activ- ities is not stressed enough. When an unsuccessful trend be- gins, it is usually a complete turn of events that ends the problem. The lack of student involvement at Sabino is some- thing that the students will eventually grow out of. Being the member of a club is an im- portant part of growing up. The valuable lessons you learn, and the experiences you share will stay with you forever. lt's time the students opened their eyes and realized the necessity of school clubs. What you can do for a club is just as impor- tant as what it can do for you.
