eg™™ uv trEBtMLGE Students take ups, downs in stride The bell rings. A student dives into his seat just in time to hear the teacher announce a quiz. What quiz, he asks to no one in par¬ ticular. ‘‘The surprise kind,” a neighbor answers. The student says a little prayer and hopes the test is about something he knows and understands. Every student at one time or another experiences that moment of panic when suddenly his world is shaken up a bit. The event could be an unexpected quiz or test, a semester project, a job inter¬ view, or a new friend. But no matter what, students take it in stride. A day can start well and end disas¬ trously. A student unexpectedly gets piled with homework when he has to work late that night. That evening he finds himself dragging, longing just to get to sleep. The next morning his fatigue shows. He can’t pay attention in class or concentrate on assignments. The days become a vicious cycle between work and school through the week. The days slowly crawl until the weekend. The weekend is the student’s two day respite from the daily grind. It’s a time when homework doesn’t hang overhead, or the thought of school loom ahead the next day. Friday and Saturday are spent at home games or maybe at the movies. On these days students relieve the pres¬ sure that builds up over the past week. They collect their thoughts and put a bet¬ ter perspective on the oncoming days. They spend a little of their time getting it together.

What do you do in your spare time? “I like to take off on my bike all day or after school. I try not to worry about school once I get out. Sports. I play CYO volleyball a couple times a week. I also read many books.” “Puzzles. They can be the type you put together or the kind you figure out. I can spend several hours at one time working on one.” Listening to music and watching TV are my favorite pastimes. I also work which gets my mind off of school. “I do needlepoint, crocheting, stuff like that. I use my work for gifts. “I go out to friends’ houses and to the movies, and I’m always found at Sha- key’s.” I make latchhook rugs, string art, and embroidery for myself. I also draw because I plan to become an artist.” “I play the piano for personal enjoy¬ ment to relieve stress or when I’m ill.” All I do is watch TV. I really like the soap operas.” Writing songs and playing the guitar are favorite pastimes of mine.” “I run to keep in shape for the track season.” ”1 read books, especially Gothic hor¬ rors, ghost stories, and some romance.” “Skiing’s my hobby. Sometimes it can become expensive, especially the equip¬ ment, but it’s worth it.” “I like doing crossword puzzles. My favorites are the ones that are in the TV Guide every week.” “I collect stamps. It’s not very excit¬ ing, but since I concentrate on U.S. stamps, I learn about American history.” “I take pictures for my own pleasure. I don’t develop them, but I am hoping to work in a darkroom soon.” “My favorite pastime is attending the home sports games. I really enjoy watch¬ ing sports, and I get to meet a lot of peo¬ ple.” “I’m a magazine fanatic. My whole family is. Reading them helps me to get to know what ' s going on around the world. My favorites are Omni and Time.” “I enjoy doing macrame. I’ve made some wall hangings and fuzzy owls. I sometimes use my work for gifts.” Playing—7 I

John Grubbe (above) shades his pencil drawing for art class. How do you juggle school, jobs , and activities and still keep up? “I don ' t organize my day by thinking about it. I just accomplish what I need to in the course of the day, like the old say¬ ing goes. Cross that bridge when you get there. “I limit my hours on my job so I still have time for homework and activities. Yet, I still work enough to bring home good money. I do my school work right after school instead of doing something I would want to do. I also limit my working hours.” ‘‘I try to do my school work after school or after work. My hours for work are limited, and I mostly work week¬ ends.” ‘‘I try to get as much sleep as possible so I’m not too tired to keep up with all the things I have to do.” “I manage to get all my school work done during the day so I have plenty of time for extra-curricular activities. I don’t have very much homework and what I do have, I complete in school. I only work a couple of nights a week so it’s fairly easy for me.” ‘‘It used to be pretty hard when I worked until 10 p.m., but now I get off at 8 p.m., and it is easy to finish homework. Winter is a lot easier because I have more free time.” “I do my homework during practices and at games. It seems I’m always run¬ ning from one thing to another. It is eas¬ ier during the spring for me.” ‘‘I take things one at a time. I don’t panic, and I work very hard to accom¬ plish as much as I can. “This year has been the toughest. I stay up really late and get up early to study. I do homework at lunch and in classes’ freetime. I try to get to or do one activity a week.” I usually get most of my homework done in class, but when I don’t I’ll take it home. When I have a game, I try to get it done beforehand, but if I don’t I take it along with me. “I get a lot of my homework done dur¬ ing lunch if not in class. If I still have work left, I often do it immediately after school so that I have the evening for my activities.” Getting it Together—9
