TASK 17 
Keeping busy 
The public school in town served a number of purposes. Education, of course, was one. It offered a curriculum in 
general education, manual education, and preparatory education for college. Its music and sports programs provided 
entertainment to the school and its patrons. And the school served as an agency of social cohesion, bringing the 
community together in a common effort in which everyone took pride. 
The sports program was the center of gravity of extra-curricular activities. The school fielded junior and senior 
varsity teams in football, basketball and track. Any young man with enough coordination to walk and chew gum at 
the same time could find a place on one of those teams. In addition, sports generated a need for pep rallies, 
cheerleaders, a band, homecoming activities, parades and floats, a homecoming queen and maids of honor, and a 
sports banquet. It also mobilized parents to support the activities with time and money. 
There were any number of clubs a student might join. Some were related to academics, like the Latin Club, the 
Spanish Club, and the Science Club. Others brought together students interested in a profession, like the Future 
Farmers of America, the Future Homemakers of America, the Future Teachers of America, and the Pre-Med Club. 
Still others were focused on service. The Intra-Mural Council, made up of girls (who had been neglected in the 
regular sports program), organized tournaments in a variety of sports for girls. The Library Club worked to 
improve library holdings and equipment. The Pep Club organized homecoming activities, parades and athletic 
banquets. 
The Student Council, including representatives from each class, was elected by the student body after a heated 
political campaign with banners and speeches. It represented student interests to the administration and the school 
board. It approved student clubs that were formed, helped resolve discipline problems, and played a role in setting 
codes of conduct and dress. For the most part, it was a docile body that approved the policies of the administration. 
The Journalism Club published a monthly newspaper of school news and opinion. It was financed by selling ads to 
business men in the community. Another group planned and published the school Yearbook, which was a pictorial 
record of the student body, the year’s activities, sports, and achievements. The Yearbook staff sponsored a beauty 
contest, pictured outstanding students selected by the faculty, and a Who’s Who of popular and talented students 
selected by the student body. 
Churches in town, of which there were many, sponsored their own activities for youth; and the community 
sponsored a recreation center, called Teen Town, for chaperoned Saturday night dances each week. Community and 
school leaders seemed determined to keep the youth of the town busy and out of trouble. In a small Southern town 
in the Bible Belt where very few students had access to a car, which had been voted dry and in which no alcohol 
was sold, they succeeded marvelously well.
