Not just six hours Detentions, aiding, and activities before and after 2:40 From the darkened hallways into the seriously silent library to the domed gymnasium, students big and small can be found dedicating their time to teachers. Their dedication is evident before, during, and after the six hour school day. While the majority of the students spent school hours partici- pating in class, some students chose to act as student aids for other teachers. “Working in the library kept me busy and gave me a chance to associate with people,” stated sophomore Tammy Gen- try. Others had different reasons for becoming aids. “Helping Mr. Holmberg by doing a few errands is better than taking a study hall,” explained junior Marcy Lang. School related activities made up a good portion of a student’s life. Whether a student was forced to stay after school to serve a detention or stayed on his own accord for an extracurricular activity, school life extended past the 2:40 bell. In some cases, students had no choice but to stay after school either to make up tests or serve work details. “No one likes to come in for a detention, but the students do not have any choice,” expressed sophomore Brian Dillion. Other times, students chose to stay in school to take part in extracurricular activities. One such activity involved membership on the Speech and Debate team. “The time spent working after school with the speech coaches takes a lot of time, but it’s easier to work after school,” stated junior Mona ElNaggar. Other popular activities that involved after school work were related to the Music Department. According to Anita Sider, junior, “Being in ensembles does keep my schedule full with all the practices after school.” With participating in extracurricular activities, serving deten- tions, and helping out other teachers, a student’s school life proved to be a time consuming job.
