As our lives get busier We learn to take them rggg Cramming for tests ✓ Finding creative ways to stay awake during a lecture ✓ Hating cafeteria food ✓ Anxiously waiting for the results of pop quizzes ✓ Not so anxiously waiting for the results of pop quizzes ✓ Walking (very fast) to beat the tardy bell ✓ Grabbing the wrong book Daily life at Elkhart Central. These are the natural time consumers that add extra excitement to the day. We are high school students with increasingly busier schedules. The average teen, from the time of waking up in the morning until the moment of turning out the light at night, is on the go — with little time to sit in front of the TV. Time instead is eaten up by homework and, for many, extra- curricular activities. Some come because they have to, but most have reasons to look foward to coming. Whether it’s the relaxation of an art class, the exertion of P.E., making music in orchestra or learning the logic of a geometric proof, they find ways out of every day patterns, and learn to take life one day at a time. WHILE MANY STUDENTS eat at 11:05, these students choose to spend their lunch hour shooting baskets. MATT THOMPSON works to get his geometry done in class. CATCHING UP on her literature homework, freshman Laura Tate seeks quiet in the library, a common study area for Central students. 4 DAILY LIFE

ENJOYING TIME WITH FRIENDS, students frequent local restaurants for lunch. “Hey, do you want to go to lunch today?” “Sure. Where do you want to go?” “I don’t know. Meet me at the front doors.” This is a common conversation that can be heard in the halls between second and third hour. At 11:05, when the bell rings dismissing students and faculty for lunch, the students crowd into the main lobby in search of their friends. They run out and pile into the car. Now comes the hard part . . . where to go? Favorite places include Sub Shoppe and McDonalds downtown. Burger King, Wendy’s, and Taco Bell on Cassopolis, and Little Leasers and Da Ssingers on Bristol Street. Of Course there is always the option of going home for lunch or eating in the school cafeteria. Whatever you do for lunch, you can enjoy it by spending time with friends. You can relieve the tension from the first half of the day and prepare yourself for the second half of the day.
