Extracurricular activities fill students’ lives Once a student enrolls in classes at Barton County Community College, he has many different open roads to travel down. College life is totally different than the student’s life in high school. Some students move away from home to attend the college of their choice. For the first time, a student controls his choice of classes. Not only does he have academic programs to consider, he has extra-curricular activities available. For the student who enjoys physical activities many team sports such as basketball, baseball, and track offer opportunities for involvement. Intramurals can play an important part in a student ' s schedule. Additional extracuricular activities stress creativity. Areas such as drama bring out the actor in the student and allow him the opportunity to be someone for a couple of nights. Music helps the student to express himself through notes and words. The special events and dances give the student the a chance to become involved in his school and relax. 1. Kent Franz looks down at the floor after checking out of the Hutchinson basketball game. The Cougars were on the bad end of the scoring as Hutch defeated them 71-51. 2.

Students attend Christmas Formal BCCC students took time out from the normal pre- Christmas activities around BCCC to celebrate with a Christmas Formal. With music being provided by Lip Service, a band from Kansas City, students were given one last chance to unwind before finals and heading home for the holidays. In addition to the music and refreshments, the computer club set up a computer dating service. Fora small fee a person could fill out a personal data form and it in turn would be fed into the computer to be matched up with a perfect mate. After everyone who wanted a computer date had gone through the process, and the computer had a chance to match everyone up, the happy couple (and sometimes not so happy) were announced at the dance by Student Senate President Jerry Reid.
