Since study time was limited, there were many places throughout the school where students took advantage of those precious few minutes. Whether busily memorizing sixteen lines of poetry in homeroom, cram- ming for a government quiz during lunch, or walking down the hall study- ing feverishly for an algebra test next period, students always found ways to maintain their high academic stan- dards.

Student parking becomes an adventure. Drivers join the usual mad rush out of the parking lot at 1:50. “The early bird gets the worm” be- came an appropriate saying to de- scribe parking in the student lot. Sen- iors who arrived at 6:45 had an oppor- tunity to park near the entrance of the building. However, late sleepers had to accept the consequences and hit the gravel at the very back of the lot. Again, at the end of sixth period, the race was on. Seniors had a one minute head start and zoomed out as soon as they could. Others grudgingly filed into the long line of cars with no end in sight. Most students agreed, however, that the stress was well worth the avoidance of the dreaded huge, yellow school buses. The one thing students never lacked was something fun to do with the weekends. By 10:30 p.m. students stormed Pizza Hut for the after-foot- ball-game “huddles.” The laser Bea- tles show provided a more cultural note at the Science Museum. Listen- ers found it hard to stay seated as they absorbed the music so popular in their parents’ day. Also, there were con- certs galore. Word spread fast through the halls that David Lee Roth, Journey, Genesis, and REM would offer concerts close enough for fans to attend. Movie theaters such as Clover Leaf Mall, Midlothian Cine- mas, Chesterfield Mall, and Ridge Cinemas were old standbys for enter- tainment. Fun was definitely not missing from the lives of the students. A night time pep rally promotes school spirit.

Afterschool employment peaks J Numerous students raced out of school every day in order to grab a quick bite to eat before heading into the real world of business. Whether working as a bag boy at U-Krops ora cashier at Drug Fair, each student had the same idea — watching the clock slowly tick by while adding up the dol- lars and thinking of a million ways of spending them. Cars, gasoline, mov- ies, and Pizza Hut bills were all rea- sons students felt the need to punch in the time clock day after day. Marshall Bolton works hard at McDonalds. Dereky Martin works as a cashier to earn a little extra money. Jeff Holder is a part-time employee at Har- dees. Tommy Osterbind bags groceries at Safeway after school hours.
