Following the Rhythm It seemed as if it would be for- ever until graduation, but the days flew past so quickly, we hardly knew where they had gone. Stu- dents followed the same old rou- tines they always had. A typical day went something like this: students congregated in their Cliques in the student parking lot before school, at lunchtime ev- eryone trudged to their tables so they could sit with their friends and talk about the days activitiesg finally everyone trooped out to catch their bus or to take off in their cars, eager to escape from school. Our lives were spent just follow- ing rhythms, whether we set the rhythms ourselves or they were set by someone else. i 8 Opening Y v 2 W..

Life in Sync A student's day has always be- gun with making many rough deci- sions regarding homework or what to wear and how to act. Students always paved their own road. Each student was considered an individual. Paving began at the Freshman year and ended at the Seniorg all roads had different bumps and curves. With the aca- demic studies hovering over them, they still managed to find time for their own pleasures. As people slowly crowded into the school early in the morning, they started to form their morning cliques. They usually discussed per- sonal issues and upcoming school events. Two of the most talked about events were Homecoming and Prom dances. All the girls waited patiently to be asked while the guys kept their cool. Students have always showed differences in their tastes in music. Some joined band and some fol- lowed the path to choir. Whichever path was followed, Eisenhower's music department has been and al- ways will be well respected for the talent that E.H.S. students let shine through. Students who joined an extra- curricular activity followed their own rhythm. Some went into mu- sic, some went into sports, and some went into acting. Turnouts were great. Participation is what kept the drum beating. Students had a large choice of activities. For those who didn't want to be in- volved with acting or music, for- eign language clubs, science clubs, and even academic clubs provided education and fun. As the days came to a close, the students' adrenaline began to pump harder, so that when the bell rang, everyone who was originally in a bad mood, suddenly broke loose and sighed relief. 3 10 Student Life Division
