When the alarm when off that early Monday morning, the first thing you thought about was making it to school. School... that place we went to get an education, remember? For most, school was the center of their life. From pep rallies, club meetings, dances, and cramming for exams in the hall, activity and energy were a big part of students' lives. If school weren't such a big part of my social life it would be almost impossible to get me to attend. Without school-sponsored activities, school would be boring! commented Angie Julie. Although more emphasis was placed on receiving a basic education, social activities remained the same. Overflowing with energy, student:, fill the cafetena at the Christmas dance.

Hot summer sun relaxes students Camps, workshops compete for time with jobs, foreign ventures, beach Think for a moment of summer. Yeah, you were lying on the beach, catching a few rays, when, suddenly, the best-filled bikini you ever saw passed in front of your eyes. Even better, its occupant gave you one of those looks... Or maybe you spent most of the summer behind a counter, taking people's money and saying, Ya'll come back, now, or, Have a nice day. However you did it, though, you simply made money ... Maybe you went to Europe with some friends from school, spent all of your time and money just learn- ing new things and having fun ... Or maybe you just hung around the house ana talked on the phone. But no matter how you spent your summer, you had a great time at it, right? During the summer months, many students hit the road. The foreign language clubs went together as groups on trips to foreign countries to learn first hand about the cultures. Mary Van Vickie, a member of the French Club, said her trip was interesting, and 1 liked it. Colts worked at Six Flags and Wet 'n Wild, plus at many of the restaurants and shops near their homes. 1 was able to relax and earn some money, Stuart Erickson said, by staying close to home. Still other colts, such as the sports teams and pep clubs, spent the summer preparing for the big year ahead. Cheerleaders went to a camp at SMU to practice and learn new routines. The drill team attended camp for the same reasons, and publication staffs went to workshops to get new ideas. Exploring «he ocean floor, Elizabeth Mindel enjoys scuba diving during «he summer.
