What a Waste A favorite thing for every high school student to do, is to waste time! If there is any breed of human that can waste time all of the time, it is the high school student. What a student and a non student consider to be a waste of time is very different. Below are some things that students consider to be a waste of time, and some things that are not listed as a waste. What high school students consider to be a waste of time Doing homework. Going to class (you will fall asleep anyway). Cleaning (it gets dirty again 30 minutes later, so why bother?). Economics. Term papers (especially English). Things that would never be a waste of time to a student Eating lunch. Music tour. Partying! Gossiping in the Casanova room. Sleeping. Partying! Roaming the halls. Following heavenly bodies. Sleeping, a non waste of time becomes an art Thinking up new ways to cut down wilh Practice- lowans. Partying!

This feature is dedicated to those people who thought life was over after graduation. As the years go by in high school; many people are asked the same question: What are you going to do after you graduate?” How many students have thought about that at the age of 15? Teen agers do not realize that there IS a life after high school, but you have to work at it as soon as possible to make it meaningful and worthwhile. Three of DeLaSalle's prominent alumni, Kelli Maroney. Albert Hofstede, and Brother Luke Herbert knew about that life, took a few chances, and ... look at them now! Kelli Maroney (picture at right): The most important thing I can say to the graduates of this year and the others is. Do Not Be Afraid To Believe In Your Dreams. Follow those dreams and you will never have any regrets or mutter words resembling 'If only ... or I could have...' 20 years from now. Kelli had a lifelong dream to become an actress, but she did not carry through right away for fear of being laughed at. Finally she realized that acting was what she really wanted to do with her life. Even though it was what she wanted, the career counselors tried to convince her to minor in theater and pursue a safer career. Who can change the mind of a restless Senior? Look at this restless Senior now. a regular on ABCs soap opera Ryan's Hope. Albert Hofstede: High school was the preparation for entering the adult life. DeLaSalle set up the Christian values and morals that help in everyday life. Is There Life After High School? Coming to De from the seminary in the middle of his Junior year, he spent most of the time involved in many different activities in order to sell himself. The Christian values were the main things that aided him in the political governmental career he has had. In the 1970s. he was elected the first Catholic mayor of Minneapolis. Never allow people to take your values away or walk all over you because of who you are. Look at him now, a partner in North State Advisors, a governmental assistance company. Brother Luke Herbert: Many years ago, Bruther Luke (William was his real name) was faced with the reality of his future. God and his strong beliefs made that decision for him. He felt he would be the happiest in a religious field, but which one? Time and lots of hard work later. William was given the honor to be a Christian Brother, with the ability to teach children about their faith and about music. He spent many years teaching in Winona, at a grade school and at Saint Mary's College, but the place he felt the most comfortable place to teach was at DeLaSalle. his own school. For many years, he taught music to the students and became a permanent fixture at De. Unfortunately, he had to move on. and ended up back in Winona. In the late 1970s Brother Luke died after visiting the school he called home. One thing he did leave was his words of wisdom. The music that you hear is your heart telling you what to do. Do not follow others, because we all march to a different drummer. Whatever you do as Seniors, remember.
