I. 3 'K ,I .Ni ss. ' 5 Al' . HIGH CHOGL LIFE many freshmen by getting involved in different organi- zations and sports. I think it would have been more difficult if I was not involved. Since I am, I have been able to do things with different people, and I am more involved with new activities, said Anita Foran. Being involved has made adjusting a lot easier, said Jason Kohls. Its helped me feel more like a part of ever- ything. Being involved has made me work harder to get good grades, and I have met a lot of new people, said Brian Pruitt. There were several popu- lar activities among the new- comers. SADD, High-Y and Kayettes topped the list. Many also enjoyed FFA, For- ensics and different music groups. Many freshmen have joined different music groups, and they seem very willing to become involved, said Dennis Smith, music di- rector. Students agreed that sports were a fun activity to become involved in because it gave them the chance to become friends with upper- classmen and to learn how to be competitive at a higher level. Although many students were involved in many dif- ferent organizations and sports, almost everyone had a favorite. Volleyball is my favorite sport, said Tammy Burrell. lt gives me a chance to learn new things and to set goals for myself. Wrestling is the most fun for me, and the coach is real- ly fun to be with, said Arrin Haase. I love tennis, said Melis- sa Zavesky. It's fun and you can stay in shape while doing it. Sports were a favorite of many, but organizations also proved to be very popular among freshmen. Many freshmen joined Kayettes, and I feel overall many are very active in par- ticipation, said Kayette sponsor Judy Fuller. Kayettes is my favorite because it's fun, and I get to spend time with my friends, said Terri Rick. Being so involved brought much pleasure to all fresh- men.

Being involved has given me the satisfaction of ac- complishment, said Drew Montgomery. I have been able to be with my friends and achieve something, said Burrell. I enjoyed being involved because I was part of a team, and I got to spend time with my friends, said Deanna Bobbett. Extra curricular activities certainly helped to make the transition from middle school easier and also much more fun. - Amy Snook tsl Chris Charles ' W' Nancy Choitz Anselmo Colon Jr. it Holly Dobosz Keelyn Ericson I 120 Freshmen .
