Extracurricular Activities

What extracurricular activities were you involved in during high school? Why did you choose those activities?

I belonged to the Forum Romanum, our Latin Club. I was interested in foreign language and greatly appreciated Miss Bertha Winch, the faculty sponsor of that club. She was a devout Christian, a loyal Presbyterian, who lived her Christian ethics and expected us to do the same.

I also sold tickets for our basketball games during my junior year.

I was a member of the National Honor Society and of a club sponsored by Herbert Dwyer, my history teacher. It was the John Dewey Club.

Most of my extracurricular activities were forms of church involvement; teaching the 5 year olds in Sunday School, singing in the church choir, singing specials in duets, speaking in NYPS services, playing the organ for junior church (occasionally), selling Scripture calendars from door to door, serving on the church board, and taking part in special programs.
