umbers game Jockeying for numbers is full-time school sport During one’s four-year stay at the high school, each indi¬ vidual student takes part in the numbers game, although he may not realize it. Even though each student may choose to go about the game differently, the parts a student chooses to play are essential to his high school years. The stu¬ dent’s decision to participate in sports, an active learning career, or a lackadaisical at¬ tendance record are all part of the never-ending numbers game. When a student decides to participate in a sport, he must be willing to sacrifice his free time in order to broaden his horizon in whichever sport he has chosen. This player must be willing and able to push himself to be the best possible not only for himself, but also for the teammates and fans that are backing him. He must have the drive and determina¬ tion to go out on the playing area and work hard to earn the points, while he must also have the guts and “nerves of steel” to obtain the winning point or admit a loss. Along with sports, an active learning career is part of the numbers game. Studying and doing the assigned homework is the key to winning this part of the game. Similar to sports, a good education deals with scores and the hardships one must overcome when trying to obtain the points needed. A student may choose to go about this part of the game in many different ways. He may either choose to do his as¬ signed homework nightly, or he may choose not to do it all. Whatever the student decides is his own decision. The third alternative many students partake in is cheat¬ ing. This is strictly prohibited by the teachers, but still some students insist on this even though it may result in an “F” or worse. A lackadaisical attendance record is the third part of the game. This part deals mainly with tardies, absences, and truants. The key to winning this part of the game is being punctual to every class daily and attending school regular-1 ly- Although many students find great difficulty in making it to class on time, they are allowed five late arrivals be¬ fore action is taken. Some stu¬ dents take the risk of ditching class or being tardy purposely. These students suffer the con¬ sequences of truancy, with after-school detentions, sus¬ pensions, or even expulsion depending on the number of absences and tardies accumu¬ lated. GOOD RIDDANCE A fter one of Mrs. Vance’s world histo¬ ry tests, freshmen Tom Gallo, Leslie Barnett, Terry Henderson, and Ve¬ ronica Gibson check their scores.

WINNING SEASON Keeping watch from the sidelines, varsity football player Tad Filter si¬ lently encourages his teammates on to a victory against Lowell. PUT IT UP Driving to the basket, senior Tracy Roller puts the ball in scoring two points for the Lady Bulldogs. Hard work and dedication allowed Tracy to add to the girls’ winning season. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER Late arrivals are an everyday occur¬ rence in the attendance office. Sopho¬ more Cora Ratzlaff writes a tardy pass in order to admit Alicia Seef to her first hour class. OH, NO! NOT ANOTHER ONE! Because of a student’s accumulation of absences, Mr. Vic Dykiel is forced to prepare an absentee report. The re¬ port will notify the student of possible consequences. BEFORE THE DREADED DAY Curiosity plagues freshman Jennifer Linsley as Mr. David Schaeffer in¬ forms her of her grade. Many students asked for their grades early. The Numbers Game 21
