“ How Hurry up before we miss the bus.” You go on without me; I've got a meeting to go to.” Another meeting! That’s you’re fourth this week, and it’s only Wednesday. How can you find so much to do in this place? I sure can’t.” Are you kidding? There’s a ton of things to do around here. Anything from libraries to motorcycles. I’m positive even you can find something to do.” “Sure. I go into one of those meetings with all those snobs and right away 1 know they don’t want me there.” Okay. But can you blame them. There’s always a bunch of kids who join clubs just to get their pictures in the yearbook. But once you show them you’re interested, they’ll make you feel welcome.” “Who said I was interested? I don’t want to go into the clubs and watch those same kids run everything. If they’d let someone else run something once in a while, it’d be better for everyone.” “Those kids started off like everybody else. If you’re interested, you’ll get just as involved as they have.” “Listen. I wouldn’t be in one of those clubs if they paid me. They don’t do anything anyway. Besides, I don’t have time for that junk. I work for a living.” Don’t give me that. There’s plenty of kids who work and still have time to do things. Besides, who said you have to stay inside the school.” “Sure, go out into beautiful Ashtabula where Main Street closes at 9:00 P.M. There’s just plenty to do.” “What about all the dances, parties, and movies around town?” “After two days you can go to and see just about every dance, party, and movie in this town.” “Well, since when were you stuck in Ashtabula?” You can go to the strip in Geneva when it’s open. Cleveland is just an hour away, and it has something interesting for everyone. There’s also usually a rock concert or pro sporting event within two hours.” “What happens if you aren’t exactly rich?” “This may seem strange, but you could sit home, watch TV or even read.” “Oh, that sounds exciting. Why don’t you just admit a student’s life around here is boring. “Pm not so sure it is. Why don’t we think about it and TAKE A SECOND LOOK.” HOURS BEFORE THE big game, homecoming candidate and student council member. Kim Baiky decorates the throne for the upcoming dance. 12 Studcnt Life
