AFTERNOON SESSION ANOTHER WORLD hile upperclassmen were W drudging through their classes at 10:30, freshmen and sophomores were rolling out of bed. While underclassmen were enjoying a leisurely lunch and watching Happy Days on the tube, upperclassmen delved into history and biology lectures. Although this may seem like the life , underclassmen could be seen filing into their classes after the 12:15 bell rang which dismissed the juniors and seniors. But with enjoying the clout of high school life came six classes, just one an elective, and plenty of homework. , Without a driver's license, the transportation problem was prevalent in most students' minds. How am l going to get to the football game and then to McDonaId's? Cries like these filled weekend escapades. But somehow, everyone seemed to get around to games, that special party, to cure the munchies at McDonald's, or to play pinball at RenaIdo's. Although most underclassmen could not get into discos for the dancing craze, roller skating and ice skating rinks allowed students to boogie around the skating rink to their favorite top forties tunes. I go roller skating every weekend, said Andre Miller. Hobbies ranged from motorcross to racing sailboats down the sunny coast. Students challenged high curves and dangerous traps at Clearwater Skateboard Park. As skateboarding withstood radical criticism from parents that it was dangerous, the popularity of balancing precariously on a piece of wood or fiberglass continued to grow.

Getting up at six to make it to first period which started at 7:15 meant that there were many sleepy juniors. Sleeping through first period was a familiar sight, especially on Mondays. Juniors felt that it was their obligation to sleep through to catch up on any sleep that they missed over the weekends. Getting out at 12:15 allowed for more free time, and ambitious juniors went out and found a job, while others kept busy with after school activities and sleeping. Seniors had the option of doing some serious studying while taking six classes, orjust taking it easy with two or three. School Board officials felt that students were taking advantage of this, so they passed a rule to go into effect next year that all seniors must take five or more classes. Having all this free time allowed many seniors to hold down jobs which helped pay for those new automobiles they were finally able to afford. Weekends seemed to start off the same way for both juniors and seniors. Taking all their math, science, and English books home to please their parents although the students had no intentions of doing the work started things off. Many students spent their Friday nights at football or basketball games, then they roamed over to McDonalds to sit in the parking lot the rest of the night. Students spent Saturdays soaking up the rays at Clearwater Beach. Going to parties high-lighted weekends and the wiser students left Sunday open for recuperation.
