How many times In one year do we hear comments on this touchy sublect'? Very many I assure you Let me add mine to the last Closed clubs are for closed minded people and cluques are for those who live ID a closed world of their own The effects they have on the students can be good for those who be long and bad for those who deserve to belong but are not accepted Connie Greco 109 The closed clubs have a bad effect on SJHS in that lust certain people go to- gether and they never try to be friendly toward others There may be a bad in fluence in the club that will turn its ideals backwards It is very bad not to try to associate with fellow students because this is the period when we should learn how to make friends Students will find real happmess if they are themselves and are friendly toward those who seem neglected There is no need of closed clubs at SJHS Bill O Neill 309 If one is asked to be rn an exclusive club and he is accepted into rt I feel that the person accepted feels that he or she is better than the rest of the students because all cannot be accepted I feel that the closed clubs are both good and bad The effect on the student's life de pends on the student himself Bob Engstrom 309 As we learned in sociology, this type of group is called the in group. I think most closed clubs are for the most part cliques. It's like going steady only on a large scale. It limits one's social con tacts. This limits the members' opinions, and sometimes their likes and dislikes. They tend to be the elite and make all those outside feel, in a sense, not good enough. I think it is natural to have close friends, but to make one and only's is harmful to character, personality, and social development. I know what it's like from experience I never profited from it. Jeannine Lawrence 211 115 ft' fir I What effects good or o do closed clubs ond clrques have on stu dent life ot SJHS7 The effects closed clubs and cllques have on students at SJHS are many They tend to form Individual groups nn school rather than everyone working together Some groups go so far as to tell their members with whom to associate They are formed mostly for moral support so that they will always have someone with whom to go around They choose their own type of boy or girl group with which each group should associate These are usually formed by snobblsh characters who puck only snobblsh or elite people for their special club Clubs formed for even the best reasons can be gossip centers or tearing down of character centers I have not sand much of anything good about clubs or clrques maybe because there :sn t much good In them Dianna Du Charme 112 Speaking as a senior I would say that clubs and cllques have caused a lack of spirit in the senior class. There are lust too many closed clubs, and those kids who do not belong to them form cliques. This is only natural because everyone wants to feel secure. I think there could be much more class and school spirit if the clubs would disintegrate. Marilyn Chapman 211 Closed clubs aren't fair to people who would like to goin Their meetings usually end up talking about other peo ple Some people may be left out of activities merely because they don't be long to a club At dances they stick to gether and don't seem to want anyone else but their own club members with them Some closed clubs aren't as bad as others Some seem pretty nice except for their being closed to others Pat Rizzo 112 3 I think closed clubs have a good ef fect on student life because if you get into a club your social standing increases You will be better known to people you want to know It shows that you have a good character and will be able to get along in later life But it could be bad if a person is not admitted she or he might feel relected or left out John Grno 309 Closed clubs present an air of snob blshness This means that If a group is unknown and you chum around with them you re a nobody in the school This is not true In all cases but I have noticed something of this sort around SJHS The kids In clubs and cllques are better known naturally and certainly more popular There are plenty of nice kids besides those rn these clubs People dont notice them because they arent so outspoken as members of clnques are I dont thunk these clubs are all bad They contribute money to various organ: zatlons Clubs contribute different things to the school also Duane Getschman 109 The purpose or actions of these clubs and cllques have a lot to do with the kind of effect they have Here at St Joseph I believe the closed clubs ancl cluques are not having a bad effect but it is also debatable whether they have a good effect A closed club has never been truly respected by the maloruty Members of closed clubs and clrques are lacking in the personality factor Any club which has its malonty of members going to the same school should be do- ing things to better that school especially the spmt I conclude by saying that this school is lucky since there are very few closed clubs and cluques and the ones that are here have thus far caused very little trouble Overall I think it has mat tered little whether the closed clubs and cllques operate in SJHS. Rich Hensgen 211 Closed clubs and clrques can be detrn mental to a school ID that they create a feeling of exclusrveness and make the non members feel as If they don't be long They also tend to make their mem bers clung to the same group all the time and thus, they have the same Ideas, the same habits and the same mannerlsms as their group The member lsn't as much of an individual as he could be because he only associates with a cer tain select group Their one good effect is getting peo ple to back certain prolects With the whole group working together they can unfiuence more people Mary Ellen Fish 211 .1 1, J... .
