Students think mainly of getting out for some air, food, to talk to friends, or ... well you get the ideal The most famous hangout is probably the path. Kids go out there for a variety of reasons: to eat, to socialize, to smoke, or to just hangout”. As one path-person calls it, It’s a place to relax and be with your friends a getaway from the rest of the school.” Another student says, Almost everybody out there is a friend of mine.” The lunchroom hallway crowd eat in the lunchroom and or hangout in the halls. After they eat, they sit at their table and talk about sports or who’s seeing who. Several options are available when choosing lunch. One either brings a lunch or brings money to buy a lunch. Some students even borrow money or mooches food from a friend. And then there’s the library, where everyone likes to go during a studyhall, to socialize or get work done. It’s a nice personal atmosphere, with plenty of room to study or whatever. There is also a group of students who hang out in the band room. A student who can often be found there said, We have a lot of fun together, and it’s nice to be with our friends when marching band season is over.” Can you imagine what life would be like without hangouts? Everyone would always be doing something and be somewherell Bart Marvin A hectic schedule allows little time for relaxation. Karen Allen.

Student Life Arrive at 7:45 a.m., leave at 2:30, that leaves six hours and forty-five minutes in Baker High. Two hours and thirty minutes of changing classes, homeroom, lunch, and a study hall. That leaves four hours and thirty minutes of actual classroom time, less twenty-five minutes of attendance and getting situated. That gives us four hours and thirty-five minutes we spend learning. Now that’s not including weekends, vacation, and summer. At school we have tests, quizzes, and homework, and reports to do. We have research papers, applications, SATs and ACTs, forms, and interviews for college. We spend a lot of time at practices and sporting events, or at club meetings but we smile through it all. When do we find the time to make high school interesting, the time to hangout in the halls, or to go to Burger King the time to sit in our rooms watching television or to talk on the phone. The time to spend with friends at parties or get togethers. Well, I guess we do find the time, or maybe make the time, Hanging out in the halls before homeroom and between classes gives students a chance to make plans and find out what's up. to do all of this. During the summer we forget about school and. with a few interruptions by work and a couple of responsibilities, we spend ail of our time doing exactly what we want to do. Maybe that's a way to define Student Life. The freedom to do what we want and when we want. After summer is over and we’ve spent all of our time with our best friends, we head back to school. Not to worry, Oktoberfest Weekend is just around the corner. Amy Lampl says. The best times of school years are times we spend with friends.” During the year two things we must keep up with are food and clothing. No one doesn't love to pig out in their spare time or keep up with the latest fashions. These are also important parts of our student livesl” As the year ends the Junior Prom goes by, and we say goodbye to the foreign exchange students, we also say goodbye to our friends.
