Finishing their lunch, Hal Goodson and Tim Bonnoitt get ready to go. Many students head tor the gym or just enjoy a conversation with their friends after eating. Pulling down another rebound. Bob Dickerson uses his great height to an advantage on the basketball court. Good laugh. Finding something in the gym funny, Mike Richardson lets out a good, hearty laugh.

txs Rrr-inn-gg. “Okay, before you go, let me give you tomorrow's homework assignment. Read the next section and do questions one, three, and five in the Section Review. Hold it a minute! I didn't say you could go. Pause. “Dismissed.'' Pouring out of their fourth period classrooms. Upper School students rush to their homerooms to put away their books. The lower grades are already eating, and some of the smaller kids have returned to class. Students line up along the lunchroom counter to purchase food and drinks. Others seat themselves and begin eating. The first few minutes are always confusing. Laughter and talking can be heard in the lunchroom, halls, and gym. Conversations started during break are resumed. Sports, like basketball, football, soccer, and kickball, are played outside or in the gym. Emptied of students, the classrooms are the quietest areas unless a club is meeting in one of them. Rrr-inn-gg. Lunch is over and fifth period has started. Away from the crowd. Thomas Hoffmeyer finds the solitude of a quiet and empty classroom a good time to look through a schoolbook before the next class. Pop and peel. Sounds of drinking can tabs being popped open and pulled back join in with other sounds to make a noisy lunchroom. Crystal Goodson Baron Iordan Monica Lane Dee Ann McCutcheon Laverne Moody 14

 £ E o u a» School and school-related activities take up a lot of our time, but there are still many hours left in the day to give to activities away from the Academy. The community provides us with a place to work, learn, and play. Some of us, especially Upper School students, hold jobs after school. The extra cash that flows into our pockets enables us to purchase such teen-age essentials as tapes, dresses, money for dates, gun shells, and even cars. Around the community, no one has to look far to see one of us at work. Religion plays an important spiritual role in many of our lives. Besides going to regular church services, many of us are involved with other friends in town in youth church groups. Sometimes, we go on retreats and meet teen-agers from other communities. Since we were very young, some of us started developing skills in arts like music and dancing. As teen-agers, we continue to learn and improve. Recital programs contain the names of Academy students. After school hours, we meet at some of the favorite hang-outs like Hardee's, Creek's, Handee Shop, and Fast Fare to talk and eat. For pleasure, we head to the hunting fields in the fall, go water skiing when it is warm, take a date out at night, and even go flying on a pretty day. The variety of our activities is almost innumerable. As anyone can see, we really enjoy many different activities in our community. Someone might say, we, the students at Darlington Academy, love community life. Between exams, Meg Flowers and Stephanie Flowers sip on milk shakes they bought at Hardee's, one of the popular fast-eating places in Darlington.
