Sažetak
on the 21st of September 1965 at the anniversary of the plight of V3 (fifth
three) class of Kragujevac students. At first its activities were confined to the
former Gimnazija drawing room which was at the time the biggest room in the
school. After the reconstruction process of the Gimnazija building in the period
between 1971 and 1973, aided by student volunteers, the basement of the
school was refurbished for the purposes of the club activities. It continued to
flourish until the start of the war which in 1990s marked the collapse of Yugoslavia
and contributed to the establishment of the indepedent Republic of Croatia.
As a student club which had only limited autonomy within the school, the
club developed a rich and varied plan of activities which entailed the organization
of public events, cultural and entertainment events intended for Gimnazija
students and general public as well. Thanks to its own earnings, the club was
partially independent in terms of its finances and its activities were mostly organized
independently by the students with an indirect supervision of the school
management. The club organized various spectacles for its students which were
delivered by distinguished artists, writers, musicians and music groups, scientists,
athletes, political activists and other important figures from the entire territory
of Yugoslavia. Gimnazija students were thus offered not only a high-quality
activity plan for their free time, but also a form of entertainment because the
club would regularly, once a week set up disco-evenings as it was the only discoclub
in Varaždin for many years.
After the beginning of the War of Independence and the newly emerged
social, political and economic system in the early 1990s, the activity of the youth
club V3 was spontaneously discontinued. Its emptied premises were afterwards
used by the Gimnazija management for a fast food facility catering to its students.
