ust five more minutes - Rolled out of bed too soon for on early norning band practice, Karen Patrick attempts to face the reality of he cold temperature. Q ,fin Outside of the seven hours of the school day, many students What is a typical day for a high school student? Well, here there are no typical doys because of the varied interests and priorities of each individual. While some people do not crawl out of bed until 8 am., barely making it to school by the tardy bell, many others are in- volved in activities that require them to be at school at an hour that most teenagers are still in a dream state. But this discipline does not come easily, as senior captain of the swim team, Bonnie Downes, who must arrive at school by 6:45 each morning to practice het swimming techniques admitted, There are a lot of days when I om tempted just to stay in bed. qu xeiiyy Bette Davis Eyes - Backstage during the performance of the play i'You Can't Take It With You, Stephen Tomoc has his stage makeeup applied to his face for his tale as Mr. De Pinna, put in As a day in the classroom wears on, it sometimes seems an eternity until sixth period. But, some students leave the school premises two or three hours earlier through their vocational education class. lt is for all students who hold after school jobs, however, that the monumental task devel- ops in finding time to squeeze in all the homework. This time shortage is why Senior Brian Cart, an employee at Joskes said, l sometimes just take my homework to work and try to do some of it there.

X, we school. With some rehearsals lasting until 10:30 p.m. the last thing I wanted to do when I got home was a school assignment. Eyenx though home- work does often con- sume much time, many students also find a few moments for some leisure in their lives too. Often it is as casual as just going to Chili's with a group of friends, or watching T.V. With students' time be- ing deyoted to not only the school day, but also to all the extra-curricular activities, it can very easi- ly be said that the hours pursuing interests extend not only from dawn to dusk, but also into the wee hours of the night.
