Activities: rising After hours of rehearsing lines and moves, opening night arrives. Make-up and lights are ready, and the curtain rises. Fledgling actors and actresses quell their nerves while they take that enormous step from the shadows of the wings to the naked, dazzling light of center stage. Excalibur, Inklings, and Windfall staffs race from typewriter to drawing board and back again. They write, edit, rewrite, and re-edit. They spend after¬ noons and evenings cutting, pasting, and measuring to meet another deadline. Marching band members stand pois¬ ed and stiff, holding their breaths. A field judge walks by. Their heads high, elbows out, faces emotionless, the musi¬ cians are proud. The music begins and they lock into position. Each footstep and note falls perfectly into place after hours of practicing and drilling and to the challenge practicing some more. Student Council works as a team to benefit the entire school. Dances, pro¬ grams, and benefits for other people set a precedent for students to follow. Members learn early the basics of the American system of government and will become the basis for it in the future. Activities face a different type of challenge. It is unlike any challenge that presents itself in the classroom, and it is unlike a challenge found on the playing field. This kind of challenge takes a commitment to give up long hours; it re¬ quires exercising the mind. But no grades will reward these sacrifices, and no trophies will be presented to those who participate. These activities reward in their own special way. They foster the sense of pride that make students give of themselves and willing to work long, payless hours to rise to the challenge.
