Activities Week was held September 15 and 17. Clubs and organizations displayed information for their activities in front of the cafeteria at lunchtime. On the last day, sign‑up sheets were offered to students. From these sheets, invitations will be sent out to students who wish to join.


Following is information about Maine West's many clubs:

The purpose of Ski Club is to offer all students the chance to ski at a far lower cost than usual. The membership is limited to 350 people, and sign‑up sheets are at the bookstore. Students may obtain them as late as December. There will be a few weekend trips, and the club will also visit Wilmot Mountain and Alpine Valley.
