After school life varies as there life after school? What went on after the bell rang at 3 p.m.? What was done during the week and what about the weekends? After school students did anything from going home and cranking up the stereo for MTVD to spending time at parks or going on small shopping sprees. Many school functions were on school day evenings. Class meetings, poster parties, sports and sports practices took up students' time. jobs were also a major part of after school life. On the weekends students spent their evenings at school games, parks, movies and dragging Douglas. Day-time activities during the weekends included working, shoping sprees, cleaning rooms, watching early morning cartoons and attending church. No matter what students did with their free time, it never seemed to be enough, because the time went by too soon.

W jobs fill after-school lives l tudents' lives weren't all fun and games. Most students held down a part time job. Among the most common were work in fast food restaurants, as retail clerks and as sackers at local grocery stores. Holding down a job wasn't easy for all students, especially those who were involved in sports or after school activities. Those students had to stay after school almost every day, go to work afterwards and still find time to do their homework. If holding down a job took up so much time, then why did students work? Many felt they had to work in order to pay for their expenses. Such costs might include cars, clothes, class rings, lunch money, sports events and, for many, it meant the dif- ference of being able to go to their junior-senior prom. If I didn't work I would miss out on a lot of school activities, stated junior Vivian Ashley. For whatever the reason, students felt that it was a necessity to give up a little of their free time to hold down a job.
