No matter what type of person you chose to be in high school, whether you were conservative or conversa- tional, your life was filled with daily activities. One of the most common activities was the sugar fit . This epidemic was spreading around all Bloom Trail stu- dents, and everyone caught it. As stu- dents realized that the sweet taste of candy was hard to resist, they antici- pated the candy store opening every- day, to fulfill their uncontrollable needs. Cravings grew higher, money grew shorter, and teeth formed tartar. But who cared? It was a part of growing up, so we did it. Then, something almost all students loved to do, was talk to their friends during the passing periods. Whether before school started, or sometime in between, students built relationships with their sweethearts, or just simply had a few laughs with their buddies. Going to lunch was not only some- thing we had to do, but it was also something we wanted to do. After running a mile in the gym, and answer- ing a bundle of questions, we were ready to eat a cow. Although the caf- eteria food was not the best that mon- ey could buy, it seemed to please all of us to eat it everyday. Along with just eating during the lunch period came the benefits of conversing with old friends and meeting new ones. All of us listened out for either Mr. Sell, Mr. Roux, or Mr. McGuire to press the dismissal horn that would allow us to leave for our next class. Dressing up on certain days was not done daily, but came to think of it, it was definitely an activity. Some went a little overboard with their costumes, while others didn't bother to dress up at all. Those who did, on Halloween portrayed witches, brides, gypsies, an- imals, pumpkins, and a few dressed up as David Lee Roth. Besides dressing up on Halloween, students entered the pumpkin contest to keep the spirit of Halloween alive. There were some very unique ideas, and some students devoted a lot of their time to make their piece the win- ning pumpkin. It was certain that daily activities would always be a part of our daily lives, no matter who we were or what we did. It would be impossible to try to name every activity that we partici- pated in as a whole, but just listing a few should have brought a smile to everyone's tace. A good example of a daily activity is shown above, as these boys converse before school starts. Scott Stokes fearfully awaits the serve of his teammate.
