5 fr? Stud nt Life Imagine an observer who stays just in one classroom all day. He would see students boisterously come to class, listen to lectures, take tests, and shuffle out only to be replaced by another group of students who would do the same. If this observer never left the classroom he might think that students have mono-faceted lives, surviving only to suffer perpetually under grueling exams and tedious lectures, and then vanishing when not in school. He would never be able to see the other sides of a student's life: working at jobs, volunteering in the community, joining clubs, pursuing hobbies, going to movies and dances, listening to music. Each of these contributes in different ways to the develop- ment of the person. A student's life does not begin and end at school. OPPOSITE: One recreation for many students is playing with a rock band. One of the most successful groups at Centennial is Red Hori- zon. The band's lead singer Vicki Satkicwicz and guitarist Mark Jones help to make the first yearbook dance a great hit with a mixture of disco, rock, and pop. LEFT' One of the most noticeable and active organizations is the B.O.A. fBenchers of Americaj. At the Autumn Affair thc group rides in a float decorated with beer bottles as unicyclist Chris Finney pedals behind. BELOWJ A cascade of raining confetti marks a successful attack by the foot- ball team. Attending games and supporting the school is a popular part ofa student's life, combining entertainment with excitement. Student Life 13

As teenagers weekly paychecks helped students pay for the rising costs of personal expenses. Although the reasons had changed -the need for cash remained. From office receptionists to professional photographers from short-order cooks to cashiers over 20 percent of Centennials student body was engaged in full or part- time employment this year. These jobs in- creased bank accounts developed responsi- bility and provided practical experience. , , , . -entertainment, travel, clothes, and college , 5 . , 7
