Carol Ann Fowles From the Office Of the Principal EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES Every secondary school has as one of its problems the extra-curricular activities problem. As the term implies, these are activities outside the regular curriculum, such as school plays, operas, traveling tra-veling assemblies, etc. Even though they are extra, they are an intricate part of any high school program. Some of the problems involved in-volved that would be questionable would be the extent of time involved in-volved in producing these activities, activi-ties, the extra amount of work involved in-volved for teachers and students. In trying to weigh the values of these activities, we have to take into consideration the opportunities opportuni-ties provided for leadership, in organization, or-ganization, in the development of talents, and in the development of responsibility that each person assumes. as-sumes. I would like to pay a compliment to Miss Ruth Hansen for her untiring un-tiring efforts in helping to produce our opera, "South Pacific," our year' book, and being chairman of the t Junior Prom advisory committee. Without her talent and energy these things, I am sure, would not be successful. A great debt of gra-titude gra-titude to you Miss Hansen for your efforts, I am sure your pay comes in the satisfaction of these things well done. I personally feel that our extra-curricular activities are rich experiences for those who participate par-ticipate and for those of us who are being entertained. For myself it has betn a rich and pleasing experience ex-perience this year. News Reports 1 , jALr?.
