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.

Whether it be in December during the holidays, or in the heat of July during “Chicago Fest,” Chicago’s style shines through. This glorious city, the fourth largest in the world, has many different faces. “Chicago may be a big city, yet it still holds an element of sophistication with its skyscrapers, lake and its inhabi- tants,” remarked junior Jamie Beck. “I love to go to the top of the Sears Tower and look out; you can just see forever.” Skyscrapers are just one of the symbols that help give Chicago its racy but care-free aura. Its nightlife carries on this aspect too. Numerous spots can be found anywhere from the night clubs on Rush Street to Chicago’s many restaurants and play houses. Chicago holds within, all the ingredients for a perfect day. “If I could spend one day in Chicago doing whatever I wanted,” stated junior Sheila Brackett, “I would just go on a shopping spree, then go to the Italian Village for lunch. Afterwards I would catch an 8 p.m. performance of ‘42nd Street’. I would end my day by going to the Berghoff, a great German restaurant, for dinner.” Every morning as the sun rises, thousands of shoppers prepare to explore the abundant variety of shops.

In the summer I like walking around Buckingham fountain when all lights are on it.
