THE EXTRA CYCLE Each month, on the first Wednesday at 1:30 p.m., activity schedule allowed for the schools clubs to meet. Everything from dramatics to industrial arts went on during the forty-five minute period. In addition to organizations that met during this time, there were numerous clubs that met before and after school, and even at night, to carry on their business. So students were able to belong to many different clubs depending on when they got together. Some students spread themselves among as many as five or six clubs, but were happy to have the opportunity to join them. 14 CLUB DIVIDER

MUSICALLY TALENTED Musical activities and students went hand in hand throughout the school year. During “Music in Our Schools” week, students gave daily announcements and donned badges advertising the week’s importance. Chorus and band students alike benefitted from the week and from the school’s musical curricula. The chorus and the choral ensemble had a busy year in school and regional events. In the fall, regional chorus tryouts were held in the school auditorium, and two students were picked from our chorus. The choral ensemble entertained at many assemblies, including the Black History program where they sang traditional Negro Spirituals. The band, while small in numbers, accomplished many things. The annual citrus fruit sale brought in money for the group. More musically related activities included the Christmas and spring concerts with the chorus. The marching Raiders got an additional boost from Booker T. Washington band students during football season, and a new pep band was formed from Suffolk High members. All in all, the musical year was the beginning of a new cycle of fine arts. Pep Band left to right: Seated—Quinton Riddick, Bill Jenkins. Mackey Carr, William Powell.
