Extra-C -CurricuIar Activities
One of the outstanding factors
which must be reckoned with is the
extra-curricular activity as it enlists
the whole hearted interest of the
high school student and for this reG-
son is a tremendous power for either
evil or good. One principle will. be
strictly adhered to and that is the
extra-curricular as we'll as the curTi-
cular must be educative. 1t has no
right to exist merely to entertain
young people, or the public OF ad-
vertise the town. It must yield re-
suits in terms Of social and moral
growth and efficiency.
The worthy use Of leisure time is
an object Of ever growing Importance
Through Sports, Clubs, Social meet
ings, the student will acquire objec-
tives and interest which will tide him
safely over many leisure hours.
Another object in encouraging out
side activity is that it connects the
school with the community to an Ak
tent that is worth while. Patrons
seldom visit classes and therefore
are not in touch with the curricular
side Of the school. Therefore since
they do not it is well that they come
in contact with our high school
through student activities.
The Curriculum

fered by the Belt Valley High School,
