Although the school was dormant, the stu- dent body kept func- tioning. Students were struggling through math homework, the swim team was doing laps in the pool, stu- dents were acting out their parts in play re- hearsal, and teachers were grading the day ' s tests. Many students hiber- nated in their rooms after school to do homework, but partici- pating in other activi- ties added to the strug- gle to get homework done.

FROM THE EDITOR I think we ' re going to be okay, Jayme ... was one ot the many reassuring phrases Mrs. Cheryl Simmons told me before each and every deadline. I was so relieved to hear that precious word okay and with- out Mrs. Simmons, I think I would have said, forget it, if we don ' t get our book until August — FINE, I don ' t care anymore! That would be a false statement because I care very much about the reputation of the Simba Kali, and much of that care was shared by the rest of my staff, especially those who spent end- less weekends, and evenings working at school. All of that care went toward creating this book. It is my belief that the good reputation of the Simba Kali s preserved with this 1987 edition and it will always and forever STAND OUT as the book that broke tradition. I owe many special thanks not only to Mrs. Simmons and my staff, but also to my Dad and Mom, my brother, Frankie, my boyfriend, Jeff, and his fam- ily, (I mustn ' t forget Shasta and Elvira, the dog and cat) all of whom I love dearly and greatly appreciate their love, encour- agement, and tolerance. I ' ve spent four wonderful years here at Arlington, three of which I was involved in year- book and take much pride in saying I was editor-in-chief of the book that proved Arlington High School and the Simba Kali are still STANDING OUT!!!

ery day after school un- til 5:00. Then I went home to do homework, and then I was back at 7:00 for play rehears- al, explained fresh- man, Deanna Reyn- olds. Practice for the play, Westside Story, ran from 3:00 until 10:00 with breaks between acting, singing, and dancing sections of re- hearsal. But the thrill of being on stage helped the students to handle the rigorous schedule. As senior, Misty Marks elaborated, Since I enjoy drama, it makes working and rehearsing much easier. I love the feeling of being on stage after all the hours spent rehearsing - it ' s all worth it. Many hours were also spent in sports practice. Fun and ex- citement were the goals gained of many athletes. Jimmy Sands commented, Basket- ball practices were fun because I enjoyed play- ing the sport. Many teachers also stayed after school, some to help with sports, some to grade papers, and some Best effort at after school workouts is what pays off at the swim meets. Nora Dorson, Junior both. After school I would just hang around, clean up the classroom, grade pa- pers, and during bas- ketball season I would help coach, ex- pressed Mr. Jay Van Meter. School did not end at 3:00. Many school re- lated things still went on after the classroom doors were locked. Homework, sports, plays, and grading were all a part of school that didn ' t fit into the school day, but helped the students nonethe- less. The bell did not mark the end of school, but the beginning of after school activities. by Doug Corbitt • LOCKING HIS DOOR, Mr. Bill Gri- sham prepares to leav e for swim practice.
