Saturday Activities For High School
The high school implies a mandatory Saturday class. These are called Saturday Activities and affect students' final grades. Usually the only exceptions are members of the Glee Club and Varsity sports players. Everyone has to go to school, as attendance is strict. Students with deficiencies from the previous year will be sent to "Special Bible" class for students under probation. They also attend regular Physical Education class. Exemptions in PE are also given to some classes such as the Western Orchestra, Chinese Orchestra, and the Robotics Team.
In addition, some of the more recognized activities are the Grace Journal Journalism Staff, Glee Club, Chinese Orchestra, Western Orchestra, The Robotics Team, and the Grace Christian Service Scouts.
Other students prefer to attend the math training classes during Saturdays. The students receive their Saturday Activities grades from these classes.

“Someday soon, we hope that all middle and high school will have required courses in child rearing for girls and boys to help prepare them for one of the most important and rewarding tasks of their adulthood: being a parent. Most of us become parents in our lifetime and it is not acceptable for young people to be steeped in ignorance or questionable folklore when they begin their critical journey as mothers and fathers.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Who dreamed that beauty passes like a dream?
For these red lips, with all their mournful pride,
Mournful that no new wonder may betide,
Troy passed away in one high funeral gleam,
And Usna’s children died.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
