REASONS FOR CLUBS G. H. Explains Why Wyandotte Has Stressed Organization This 'Year Throughout the past 'li years, Wyandotte High School has been known as an activity school. The three principals who have served the school in that time have laeen men com' mitted to the value of a broad program of school activities. Even with the serious handicaps of overcrowding in the old building and the scattered condition of the school during the past three years we have never entirely given up the some' what elaborate plan of activities which were traditional. With shortened periods, an abbreviated school day, and an acute problem of transportation due to the distance many had to travel, it would have been an easy matter to reduce the school program to strictly classroom activities, It is true that some activities did need to suffer curtailment but we never gave up the idea of combining student activity interests with those of the more formal classroom. Now, of course, since we have entered the new school, there has been an enormous increase in the whole program of clubs and other extra curricular movements. I have been asked to define just what we mean by an activity program, particularly as it affects our school. At first one might think it comparatively easy to give such a definition. After careful consideration of the problem, how' ever, the answer is not so simple. We are an educational institution and should be interested in anything that contributes to the educational development of our students. It frequently has been said that an extra cur' ricular activity program often contributes more to the educa' tional development of the student than some of the things -by PRINCIPAL J. F. WELLEMEYER taught in the classroom. As a consequence, the definition can not be made on such a basis. Certain it is there must be a difference between the two types of activities. Our high school is large. In order to accommodate the numbers involved and make a high school education free for all, the classroom situation must be founded on economy. This necessarily means that the spirit of a classroom must be definitely controlled and almost formally disciplined in order to be effective. In the activity program, on the other hand, we recognize the independence of the student and the tremendous im' portance of training for personality and individuality. The classroom can not always permit a display of independent action. It might not conform to the best interests of the group as a whole. In a club, expression of the individual characteristics of the members is encouraged. The activity life of the school approximates much more definitely life in a democracy outside of school than any formal classroom exercise. With such general ideas in mind, our program of activities has been greatly enlarged and continues to grow in effece tiveness. Now, as to the program itself, a number of classificaf tions are possible, From one point of view the activities could be classified first as faculty directed, second as fac' ulty sponsored, and third as those activities over which the school exercises advisory control. Under the faculty directed activities we have such form

It was rarely that she made this momentous decision, hut when she did, the decision was irrevoeahle. Not that Tim' othy ever had the temerity to try avoiding it. He knew too well, hy experience, that he would, if he were lucky, he ignored, and, if he wasn't, a period of incessant nagging would result. For you see, Emma Lancaster was a large woman, and thus had a large womanfs endurance. It was a mild autumn afternoon that Emma made up her mind, The place that she pieked was a swank, in a quiet -l' l Nnietecn gi, qlen glteplzefzd, guniot sort of way, spot.
