W ezrtport jfzmzbr Clubs One of the most characteristic features of the Junior High School is its club activities. Clubs are organized to satisfy the desire of boys and girls for organized group activities leading to the development of personality and character. They serve to intensify an interest in something worth while and to aid in the formation of friendships based on worth-while interests. Boys and girls in their freer associations learn how to work together and how to use their time intelligently. The scope of the club work is determined by the extra-curriculum interests of the students and the ability to iind club sponsors among the faculty. Both sponsor and pupil are given freedom in selecting the particular club in which they wish to work. Pupils choose their own officers, make their own rules, arrange their own programs, and speak and act freely for the society. Westport Junior High School has forty-one clubs with a total membership of a thousand and eleven pupils. These clubs meet every two weeks on Friday afternoon. Much interesting and worth-while work has been done by the clubs of Westport Junior High School during the school year 1926-27. IW Y9zk,Qanz3zfg1 Dey say dat in de vdnter in de norf it mostly snows, De skies am black an' dark, an' a roarin' cold wind blows. Ef you was dar, ma honey, you would freeze dose little toes, An' you couldn't look about yer widout mufflin' up yer nose. O mammy's pickaninny. Heah de roses bloom aroun' us and de yaller jasmine grows, De gret big sun's a shinin' as de corn stands in rows: O, wat's good fer colored poor folks de Lord in heaben knows, So keep right on, ma honey, kickin' up dose little toes.
