Take a Closer Look Members of the senior class get up and show their spirit by cheering for their class at a pep session. School wasn ' t always ■ ' ALL WORK AND NO PLAY as a variety of extra activities were offered for students. Tfiere was a lot more to the life of a student than the school day. There were the long-awaited vacations, the ever-popular part-time jobs, snow, rain and of course, the ever-present parties as everyone enjoyed spending time with friends. While some students didn ' t care much for the stu- dent activities . . . there were those who waited daily for the long-awaited evenings and weekends to arrive just to go to that special dance, game or even the final climax of high school, GRADUATION. Student life activities seemed to round out the sharp edges of school, a kind of reward for when the work was done . . . the activities which seniors looked upon as never being able to be a part of again . . .the Homecoming games, prom, awards day and graduation, while freshman looked for- ward to bigger and better floats, prom, powder puff football and the Silver Arrow court in the years to come. Not only in school did we find student life activities as many left school to go to jobs or the time was spent acting crazy, drifting from place to place having fun. Sounds filled the halls daily of news, stories, complaints and excitement about the most recent events. Although most activities involved work of some kind, it wasn ' t the usual kind like algebra problems, chemistry, Spanish translations or a chapter of government to read. We didn ' t seem to mind the time we spent in after-school hours working on prom decorations, rehearsing lines tor the play, or organizing activities for Homecoming. 8 — Student Life Division
