Simply splashing around, Steve Singley performs backside one footer while skimming at Ocean Beach fully equipped with a wet suit and skim board. Gelling a work oul, Krimilda Prietl and Chantell Harris dance to the beat of the song Jealousy. Silence. The halls were empty. Then, the sound of a single bell sparked a loud roar of shuffling feet and excited voices as the school day ended. Students spent their free time after school in a variety of different ways, ranging from skimboarding to having a part time job. Although it was sometimes difficult to budget time in order to participate in an after school activity, thosefew hours were important in the main- tenance of sanity. I go skimming because it gives me personal satisfaction, it's not an ex- pensive sport, and I love to read the waves, said Kelly Cady, who went skimboarding about three times a week with his friends Per Nielsen, Steve Singley, and Dave Sauer. Another activity that demanded a time commitment was performing, both in student and teacher directed plays and community theater. Students involved in productions at school rehearsed every weekday for an average of two hours until the show was performed. Janet Quinn hung SJUSTIN 1 Y Y ll!!!

People sit around and talk. Dancing nine hours a week plus ten hours of rehearsals for the community production of The Nutcracker, Jean Stultz spent all of her free time in her ballet shoes. Exhaustion was some- thing Stultz had to endure, but it was worth it. Dancing gives me a great feeling of accomplishment because it is so difficult to advance, said Stultz. Whether it was working to buy a car, eaming a little extra spending money, or paying off other kinds of debts, a part time job was a popular activity. After school jobs included working at fast food or other types of restaur- ants, taking appointments as a re- ceptionist at Supercuts, and building forearm muscles scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins. l got a job because of pressure fromimy parents, the job was thrown into my lap, and they didn't make me cut my hair, said Garrett Gilliland who worked at the Roseville branch of Baskin Robbins. There were also those who remained at school to participate in sports or other activities such as Yearbook, Newspaper, or just conversing with friends. Guiv Rahbar, who was both a Varsity Football and Baseball player spent three hours after school at practice. I participate in sports because I enjoy the thrill of competition and the agony of defeat and losing helps prepare me for the pressures of life, said Rahbar. Not all students rushed off to an after school activity at 2:30 p.m. There were a few seniors who only attended five classes and their day ended at 1:30 p.m. Some went out to lunch to relax before facing the tension of a job or homework. Others went home and watched television. l use that extra hour to meditate and rest, and to reflect on how poeple at school are agonizing while I'm eating my Ho-Ho's, said Jeff Nelson. Putting on the finishing touches, Laura Nelson, Carrie Fenelon, and Casey Gordon paint part of the set for the fall play, The Good Doctor.

There was a great confusion and constant collision as students shoved their books into their lockers. Groups gathered about... lunch had begun. Lunch is a time to talk with my friends without getting yelled at, said Geri Montgomery. Lunch was a time to escape hectic classes, relax, and simply discuss the day's events. Some invested their lunch time in preparation for classes. l spend my lunch time studying to occupy my- Lunch is a time to escape hectic classes, discuss the day s events, and participate in activities self. I study for classes that I have after lunch or catch up on something I should have done earlier, said Mark Drolshagen. Academic clubs took advantage of the thirty minute break to hold meetings. Having meetings at lunch promotes better attendance since everyone is already at schoo1, said Lisa Cheung, French Club President. The French Club made their meetings enjoyable as well as informative by adding French cuisine to infonnation. Faculty utilized their half hour to socialize as well as eat lunch. The Math Department continued their tra- ditional ping-pong games. It's a good break and means of recreation. Since most of us were athletes it provides competition, said Ken Smith. Incorporating class competition and lunch was one of the jobs of Student Government. Events ranging from a Gatorade Chug to a marshmallow eat- ing contest broke the montony. Since the campus has been closed we have lunch entertainment to promote school spirit, said Rally Comissioner Mike Kane. Whether students were anxiously awaiting or dreading aftemoon classes the bell inevitably sounded declaring the ending of another day's lunch ac- tivities. , E M Getting psyched, Guiv Rahbar, Scott Hix, and David Zancanaro eat lunch the day of the Placer game with fellow teammates.
