every school.  Two styles were shown in managing student activities -

be the club sponsors.  Many schools set up an administrative council for 
student activity clubs and encouraging their students to participate.  Most 
schools did not set up annual student activity calendars.  The evaluation

students to carry on by themselves. There were no evidence regarding the
