STUDENT LIFE Belfhiife' From the time the alarm rang in the morn- ing until lights went out at night, students at GHS involved themselves in school, work and play. School meant getting up early to catch the bus, ride with a friend or use the family car. Regulations demanded daily attendance so absences had to be excused. Groups gathered in hallways around lockers or senior bench for early visiting or study. Mor- ning break became the time to catch up on assignments, meet a friend, attend a meeting and eat. Lunch options included the cafeteria or a quick trip to a local fast food establishment. Vocational students arrived at 11:30. ICE students either worked in the morning or .iJff+rse' f--Q-ff--if i- , g,. . T afternoon. Some 90 students left at the end of the fifth hour on early release. The re- mainder finished six periods before the bell rang at 3:00. Twenty percent of juniors and seniors found work after school and weekend jobs in stores, restaurants, filling stations or worked for friends. Some freshmen and sophomores baby-sat, worked for individuals or helped on farms. Opportunities for entertainment at school included dramatic productions, convoca- tions, dances, sports events, band and music programs. Clubs and academics provided parties and trips to attractions in ln- dianapolis and Terre Haute. Certain Spanish Club members went to Mexico and some Thespians went to New York. Everyone needed to raise money through selling candy, hats, coats, pens, banners, computer match-ups and concessions. Friday was always purple and grey day and those whose loyalty to GHS was stead- fast wore those colors every time. Two big events finally happened-the prom with its theme Tropical Paradise on May 14 and graduation which involved 128 seniors and 4 graduating juniors on May 22. Vacations and leisure time provided time for trips, skating, hunting, concerts, TV, movies, car repairing, cruising, and parties. Some students were so lucky as to travel to foreign countries. The majority were just glad to be out of school and enjoy Greencastle. . Ui ji' STUDENT LIFE REPRESENTATIVES-Front row, S. Fox, art, J. Newman, cheerleader, S. Evers, track, K. Hansen, swimming, M.

Back to books The first day of school brought both feel- ings of welcome and dread. Some students came reluctantly from summer vacation to school, but most looked forward to the first day. Getting new books, finding a locker with a good location and finding all the classrooms on a new schedule were activities students had done before school began on registra- tion day. Students and parents were afraid to look at the final bill for registration. Books alone were expensive, an average of S6 apiece to rent. Other costs were class dues, locker fees, lab fees and club dues. Of course, there remained a few who needed to register on the first day, August 26, but those who had completed it spent their time catching up on summer activities and happenings and planning for the new year.
