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.
