fhem finding ouf. I ' d jusf die if my mom knew, she would ground me until I graduated from college, take all my privileges away ond just make my life miser- able, said a sophomore who just re- ceived her driver ' s license. Getting high was also a woy to es- cope from the school routine. I enjoy just to cop o buzz for the weekend to loosen up from the week but when school is back I ' m bock, said a senior. Some students found this aspect of partying very annoying. I think they con find something better to do with their time, said sen- ior Kelli Hatter.

The good times roll People think I ' m no good and crozy OS o loon cause I get stoned in the morning and drunk in the ofter- noon. The Choriie Doniels Bond. Partying meant just this to some stu- dents while this wos not everyone ' s style. Students spent their evening time roller skating, eating out, going to sporting events or just having fun v ith friends. I don ' t need drugs to have a good time with my friends, sold senior Sheilo Corey. However morijuana olias: pot, weed, or grass was still a popular hab- it at parties despite warnings from teachers and parents. Residentiol parties were not the only piece to party. Other places were the drive-in movie, in the perk- ing lots at McDonald ' s, the roller rink or just cruising around. I don ' t think my weekend would be complete without a good high, sold a senior. Peer pressure seemed to affect some students while others were able to escape it. I get high because my older friends do, said a sophomore. While a junior seemed very sure of herself, I do not get high but I might hove on occasional drink which no one forces me into. It ' s my decision entirely. Alcohol or booze was also popular for a weekend high. Tm not on alcoholic or anything I just enjoy hoving a few beers with the guys on Friday nights, said o ju- nior. Parents were often concerned but, students were more concerned obout 16 Partying Summer fun . . . Highland students take if easy at the Labor Day concert.

Let ' s get involved Learning . . . about business . . . obout government . . . about religion . . . about themselves; learning by do- ing and by being involved, wos what mony out of school clubs offered stu- dents. For many students club involve- ment meant being v ith friends, learn- ing about themselves and working on projects. Senior Robin Wood, a Young Life member said, It ' s fun, ond you con sit oround with friends and talk. They give you o chonce to tell about your different views without feeling pres- sured into talking if you don ' t wont to. At Young Life, o group of students got together on Mondays to talk about social and Biblical problems as well OS to play gomes and pronks. Senior Scott Wolf found that Young Life was o woy to bring religion into his life. I find Young Life very enjoy- able, I do not go to church on Sundays so this is the closest I come and it is on awful lot of fun. Push Excell wos sponsored by Assis- tont Principol Wollace McCutchen. This wos started to make more students owore of educotionol and personal excellence and moking posi- tive contributions to their society, said Mr. McCutchen. Meetings usually consisted of eighty-five students. Members got in- volved with elderly, health core ond volunteer services. Senior Lorry Pool enjoyed improv- ing himself, I con try to better myself in educational prospects, through the group. Campus life was sponsored by Greg Simmons from Anderson Col- lege. The group hod field trips, worked in Scream in the Dork and hod meetings every week, which consist- ed of discussions and gomes. Campus life was o fun evening for Senior Steve Hatfield, Campus life is fun because I con be with my friends and I do not hove to put up o front, you con just be yourself. Mayor City Youth Commission, sponsored by Mr. McCutchen, taught students the inner government. They hod mock trials, tours and sessions to teoch them about workings of the government. The eleven members from High- Mayor City Youth Commission: Row 1: Jock York, Joyce Dickey, Cynthia Dowser, Cindy Dean, Ellen Souter, Ron Drown — Advisor. Row 2: WqIIqs a. McCutchen - Advisor, Kelvin May, David Amin, Greg Eckstein, Kirk Herod, Doug Wiand. land were selected through applica- tions by the Moyor McMahn and Sher- iff Baldwin. 4-H wos another out of school club in which many students spent spore time. Mr. Jomes Teeters commented that 4-H was a good learning experience. The orgonizotion itself gives young people leadership exper- iences while gaining knowledge about o particular project. Horses was the only oreo of 4-H Lindo Smith found challenging. It ' s something to do and somewhere to take my horses. Junior Achievement was o group of students who learned about the work- ings of o businesses, the moking of projects, and keeping books. They mode mirrors for lockers, cor battery carriers, key chains and any- thing that they thought would sell. For Junior Dionne Patterson it was o way to moke money, Since I ' m not old enough to hove o job, I enjoy J. A. because they offered to poy me 90 cents on hour for two weeks.
