For many years educators have discussed the values of student participation in activities that for a long while were considered outside the academic curriculum. In spite of much early opposition to these·so called "frills," the present activities.program has so contributed to the total school program that it now exists in some form in every high school alert to the needs of youth. It is the evaluation of this activities program, and its effectiveness at Grant Union High School, in Del Paso Heights, California, that will be considered in this study.The purpose of this study is to survey the opinions of faculty members and senior students of Grant Union High School to determine to what extent and from what sources values are gained from participation in allied (extra-curricular) activities at that school.
