Extracurricular Activities
We have often heard it said at one
time or another that college life is as
important a part of one’s education as
the actual studying; that the contacts
one makes and the atmosphere one lives
in while in college are as desirable as
the scholastic goal one is striving for.
This do.es not mean, of course, that it
is just as well if one took a few "snap”
courses and took on the mannerisms and
idiosyncracies of students as a means
of completing a successful college ca
reer, Rather if signifies that the
student who keeps his grades on the
upper side of ’’zips” and better, will
increase the value of his education,
even to a material extent, if he will
enter into an extracurricular activity
or two.
The age-old argument of not having
time is acceptable, if correct; but
there are very few students who cannot
give up the few hours a week required
by the activity. The resulting satis
faction of having pleasure, and possibly
learning something useful while associa
ting with one’s classmates far outweigh
the ’’no-time” argument of those whom we
often see loafing in the game-room.
Our Center has alxrays had a reputa
tion for popular extracurricular organ
izations and clubs. Thus far this year,
we have organized the Photography Club,
the Sketch Club, the Music Club, the
International Relations Club, the
Science Club, and the Dramatics Club,
Every alert student should be able to
find something of interest and value
in at least one of these organisations.
