Activities Reflect Quality of Life at BH . Throughout the year,varous activ- ities are planned to help relieve the student of some of the monotony of school life. These activities may come in the form of assemblies fsuch as science shows, magic shows, etc.J, or dances fslowfdiscofcountry Sz westernj, or special events, fsuch as ice cream suppers, chili suppers, etc.J. While some students View these activities as a way of escaping both boredom and classes, other students may regard them as a means of learning, be it use- ful or not. Many things may happen during an activity. The following is a sample of the way some students handle these ever present activities . . . Plfvlvlfvlfflvlvlwlvlfilvlvkvlfflvlvlvlfvkilfvlf This section will be about what happens at an assembly. Assemblies occur many times during the school year, and many students come to look forward to them. One of the most important things to remember while attending one is this: Remain orderly and calm while on your way to the auditorium for wherever the assembly 12 - Anybody ' Activities is being heldl. This will greatly reduce the amount of time it takes getting in and out. Ooops! There goes the bell. Hurry up, will you? We've got to get out there before everyone else doesf, fThere is only one flaw in this otherwise flawless plan, unfortunately for you, four hun- dred students have also had the same ideaj Do you know what we're sup- posed to see? I don't care as long as it gets me out of second period. Me too! Hey, watch out . . . here comes everybody! H Ouch! Someone just stepped on my foot! Let go of my elbow! Oooh, pain, agony!! fAnd other sound effectsj What's the matter now? Someone just shoved me into the stairs. Now I'll have a bruise on my leg. Just what are we going to see anyway? It had better be worth it! Enter here a third, very serious student: Oh, it will be worth it, all right. Don't you realize what we are going to see? This science demonstration will probably prove very useful in your futuref' '4How,s that? Well, the show will give you exam- ples of our natural and rapidly dimin- ishing resources and their uses in today's society. It will demonstrate their function as power sources and will give us examples of what we can expect to be using as power sources in the future, such as solar and geothermal energy. Whisper-'iWhat did he say in English? I think he said welre having a science show about natural resources. 'fOh. Why didn't he just say that? I donit know . . . you know how brains are . . . sshh, here he comes again. NOW do you understand what this show will be about?,' Uh, sure! Thanks for the explan- ationf, fMost people would give BRAINS a don't call us, we'll call you look at this point, but it is not requiredj

Once you are inside the auditorium for wherever the assembly is being heldj, try to locate the friends who saved you two good seats. After you have spotted them, proceed as quickly as possible to the seats. This may prove to be a diffi- cult task, since the four hundred students previously mentioned are attempting to do the same thing. Excuse me . . . excuse me . . . Why did they have to save us seats in the middle of the row?,' f'Look, you have a seat, so stop complaining. Besides, we're almost there . . .excuse me.. . Now that you are seated, sit back and enjoy the show. Hey, who's that girl in the blue?', Now how am I supposed to know?!! There are at least fourteen girls down there! ! Look, there she is . . . the one about five rows down and to your left . . . see her?' Oh yes, now I do. What about her? WHAT ABOUT HER??? Do you know her? Not really. I have her in my Physics class, but I don't know her name. Enter here BRAINS, the third very serious student: Hush, you two! Iim trying to concentrate on this show and I can't hear over you. Did you see the way he used that bicycle to demonstrate the generation of electricity?', fHere at this point at which most people know automatically what to do. However, if you do not, simply say Sorry!! and return to a former conversation, namely the one about the girl in the blue five rows down and to your left.J Hey, you know what I just realized?', What?', 1. Ice Cream supper sponsored by the Ath- letic Booster Club. 2. Brandon the magnificent presents a magic show for the student body. HBRAINS here danced with her at the Howdy Danceli' Sol That doesn't mean anything. Everyone danced with everyone at the Howdy Dance. That was a pretty good dance for the first dance of the year. You're getting off track. Don't you see? If he danced with her, then he probably knows her. And if he knows her, he could probably intro- duce me to her. Him? Know a cute girl like her? Are you kidding me. He,s not kidding you. WHAT? You really know her, BRAINS? Yes, I really know her. Listen, I'm willing to make a deal with you. If you two can be quiet for the rest of the show, I promise that when it is over, I will introduce her to you. You really mean that Brains? Yes, I really mean that. Now how about it, is it a deal? It is a deal. Good. By the way, my name is not Brains, it is Mike. Sure thing Brai . . . uh, Mike. Can I ask you a stupid question, Mike? Fire awayf' Why are you taking notes? Do you always do that at assemblies? If it is none of my business, well . . . NO, that is okay, I will tell you my secret. I only take notes on assem- blies when I am having a test over it later in Physics. Now can I ask you a stupid question? 'gSuref' Don't you have Physics the same period as me?'7 About this time you realize that you do have Physics with Mike, you ARE having a test, and the test will count as a major grade. As quiet hys- terics set in, you should turn to Mike and either borrow some paper or: Uh, Mike? Could I borrow your notes since the demonstration is almost over?
