Extra involvement creates special memories Eaalc Talent: The ability to per- form. the ability to get involved. A complete education doesn’t come from cracking the books every night. It doesn’t come from sitting in class sev- en hours a day, five days a week, thir- ty-six weeks a year for twelve years. To receive a complete high school education, students must get involved. For most students, that involvement is extra-curricular activities in the forms of sports, music, clubs, and stage pro- ductions. Involvement in club activities is a release for excess energy. For in- stance, an FCA member needs energy in order to shoot blanks and throw dead birds at the yearly dog trials. Excess energy is also released when students forget lines, trip over props, and break out with giggles during musicals and plays. Not only did the Eagles show off on stage, they shined on the dance floor. The Eagles turned it loose the night after semester tests and danced to the beat of the disc jockey’s music and light show. The “Mid-Term Celebra- tion” (sponsored by Stuco and Kayettes) revived the students after two grueling days of testing. Speaking of Stuco, to whom do we owe our extra pounds? Blame that on our elected representatives. Every day two council members selling calorie- laden donuts were mobbed by starving young people trying to tide their hun- ger pangs over till lunch. And speaking of food, pigs were important at EHS this year. The FFA butchered, preocessed and sold a pig. The band on the other hand, just cooked one. The language clubs got into the act by making pigs of the stu- dent body by selling German candy and sponsoring a Roman banquet. Honor students, not to be left be- hind, pigged out at the Kayette’s Egg- head Banquet. At the banquet, speaker Jack Rob- ert told the eggheads to “waste” themselves. To get so totally involved with something that it would consume their time and energy. Yes, for any student who wasted his time on extra-curricular involvement, the high-school years would become important memories.
