A break a day keeps stress away Faces pushed between pages of a book, heads laid sleepily on a desk top, and con- versations held four ways — free time dur- ing school hours could have proven benefi- cial or boring. Students found endless ways to entertain themselves between 8:15 and 3:15. Creating designs of paper or throwing paper airplanes cleared up boredom during class hours. ' Whenever I got bored, I ' d make paper airplanes. I ' d find somebody else in class who was as bored as I as, and we ' d throw airplanes to each other, stated sophomore Scott Crawford. I ' d pull out a sheet of paper and draw names or pictures. Sometimes I ' d write notes. Anything to pass the time, stated senior Karmen Chapman. If class got too boring, I ' d draw on my notes or assignment, commented senior Sarah Stalder. Study halls were prime times to catch up on sleep or gossip. If I didn ' t have a lot of homework, I ' d talk. Most of the year I had a friends in my study hall to talk to. We ' d catch up on things going on or who was dating who, commented junior Katie Was- son. What else could I do in studyhall besides talk? If I didn ' t have homework, I ' d talk to the people around me, said freshman Mark Plassman. Study hall was a perfect time to catch up on sleep, stated junior Debbie Pence. Before school, senior Jodi Fieseler catches up on some homework left over from the night before while senior Rhonda Stahl grabs some books out of her locker. Students who had some homework to catch up on usually sat by their lockers to avoid the noise of the student lounge. While in the library, junior Craig Harvey looks for the News Sentinel. Harvey had second hour study hall which he usually spent in the library reading new maga- zines or catching up on the latest news. Teachers would sometimes finish class early to give students a chance to catch up on homework. Students found it more fun to talk instead of hitting the books. If the teacher finished teaching class early, Holly Seaman and I would sit through the end of our fourth hour class and discuss our week- end plans, commented senior Jule Strat- ton. If I didn ' t get any free time from my teachers, I made some by getting out of class, stated freshman Scott Smith. Free time was valuable to the student body. Students felt school wasn ' t only work and books, but a little goofing off also. Free time was important because it took pressure off of me. It gave me a chance to take my mind off my books and classes, stated sen- ior Steve Burkholder. Goofing off relieved stress from classes. I needed some free time to get into the swing of things, to clear my head, commented junior Jason Driver. I was in so many activities at school, but I still never got to talk with my friends. I need- ed free time to visit and relax, said sopho- more Erika Taylor. — Karla Maraldo 22 Free Time Before school, freshman Michelle Roberts, Holly Howe, and Jennifer Jentsch look over some last minute home- work.
