By becoming an active part of such a group one develops his social sense. Leadership is formed as one acts as an officer. The value of being of service is realized as one completes a project which will benefit others. Initiative and reliability are recognized as one works to compile a school publication. By meeting with others whose interests are similar to his own one finds companionship and common ground for recognizing the value of the individual.

Life is not a spectator sport. One can EXIST as a mere student, but he can EXPERIENCE as a participant. The heart of a school does not beat until the educational process is complemented by a student actively becoming a part of the school until he has taken part in a school activity. Then, and only then is he truly a member of the student body. There is a feeling of experiencing as a cheer is led. . .a dialogue is presented. . .a skit is performed. There is a satisfaction that comes when the play is over . . .the routine has been performed. . .the dance is past. . .the diploma has been received. Activities compose a great deal of the students life on campus. When a person is a part he experiences. . . he feels. These then are the aspects which compose the face of education.
