High School Activities Cover" All Interests Today's modern high school , pencils and paper may be pur-1 chess, three-man basketball no lonzer exists iust to edu- chased cate the intellectually elite. To Finance Student but must have a program of A major portion of this value to all young people, year's program has centered Oregon'i law requires that children must continue in school either until they are graduated from high school or reach the age of 18. These students come from all walks of life, are of vary ing academic ability and re quire a broad program of courses and activities to meet their needs and interests and prepare them for becoming useful and self-supporting cit izens. Medford High school has gradually expanded its curricula and its activities in an effort to meet their de mands. In doing so, teachers and administrators believe that they have not "watered down" the academic program of the institution, but have only broadened the school's scope and made it more useful. In addition to the traditional ac ademic course, the newer gen eral course and the vocation al training now considered necessary, Medford High stu dents may take part in musi cal, dramatic, artistic, journal istic and athletic activities. There is a strong program of clubs and groups which wid en the students' horizon and which are in many instances keyed to the profession which he is preparing to follow. The school's counseling system has been expanded in an effort to guide the young people into a vocation or profession best suited to each. In order to evaluate the school program, there is now a "follow up" project through which the students themselves supply the school with valu able information. In the belief that school clubs provide social exper ience, an opportunity to ex press ideas and develop skills as well as train young people for work in civic organiza tions later, a wide variety of clubs have been organized at MHS. About 35 are now in operation and they cover every phase of student inter est. Homemakmg, science, athletics, languages, photogra phy and international rela tions are some of the interests covered by clubs. Each club has officers and a faculty advisor; the groups earn their own operating funds. Meetings arre held sev enth period after the academ ic day; membership is open to students who express interest, pay a small fee and fulfill entrance requirements. The Boys' and Girls' league carry out functions for every boy and girl in school. The league plans tournaments, programs, a winter formal dance and other projects. The Student council is the governing body for all the clubs. Included in the activity program supervised by the council are school dances, noise parades, Tornado Week, campaigns such - as Teens Against Polio, Regional Stu dent council, and the recent ly formed Inter-Club council. A new venture is a student store, where supplies such as a drive to raise money to help finance an American exchange student to be sent abroad this summer. An answer to the criticism of "big time" sports in high school is the intramural pro gram. These athletic events, open to all students take place after school and on Satur days, and the school gymnas iums are open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The girls intramural pro gram is supervised by Girls' Athletic association, nd this year includes aerial darts, vol leyball, basketball and soft ball. In coming year it j hoped to includS tennSl arch ery and table tnniQ Boys' intramural Activities and Saturday league basket ball; the last is limited to the boys who do not play on the varsity or junior varsity bas ketball squads. This provides well supervised competition for boys who would otherwise be unable to play on a team.
