A time for ACTIVITIES Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Anxious clock-watching par- ents may have found it hard to believe that students could spend so much time at school. The ludicrous became the routine as play rehearsals, debate practice sessions, or band practices lasted far after the official school day” had ended or began long before it started. Some students even devoted summer vacation time to school activities by attending journalism or drill team camps. A lucky few language club members took time to tour Germany or France. While midnight was Cin- derella's dance curfew time, Assumption students set- tled for 11 p.m. as major dances were shortened in length by one hour. During Homecoming week, SADD mummies took a day out of time to raise awareness about the possibly fatal effects of drinking and driving. Spare time was an unheard of commodity as com- mitments to books and activities and jobs often collided. Yet, for others, the distinction between learning and participating was a fine one. The Outdoors Club spon- sored a class on boating safety and chorus and band members met regularly as a class. Monogram Club members were doubly involved as membership re- quired one to have first attained an athletic letter award. Overall, organizations ran smoothly, just like clockwork, and contributed to the day to day cycle of Assumption life.
