Happiness What is Fal!? It's working all day to gather up leaves in the yard, just to have your little brother and six friends leap into and scatter them out again. It’s giving up shorts and tees for Levis and flannel shirts. But most of all, its school. As August winds down, your friends groan about coming back to jail, as they call it. Girls still curled their hair but instead of pressing their cotton dresses, they're checking their earth shoes and painter pants for spots. Boys are doing the same. After the first few days, things start to settle down. Soph- omores no longer wander about being lost from their classes. Football fever sets in as fans look forward to the first game. Five games in a row, five games to cheer at, five chances to see our players dance across the goal. Then the next thing you know, its time for homecoming. Girls run around for weeks trying to get a date, just to have the boy ask them the night before. An assembly sets the weekend off with spirit and enthusiasm! The first parade was set and classes worked to make a winning float. Cheer- leaders covered trucks with pom-poms and banners then braved the cold wind, singing V-I-C-T-O-R-Y! The spell worked because we won the game. When half time came, ten girls wait for their time to walk out on to the field, four of them hoping that they'll be the one to wear the tiny crown. On Saturday, twenty-four tired cheerleaders gathered at the gym, ready to turn a basketball court, into a dance floor dream. Boxes of crepe paper were draped at any possible place, even if it meant standing on top of an old ladder, with Apesnot jumping on it. Then Monday came around, and school was filled with talks of dates, dinner, and those girls who stayed at home, started looking and hoping for next year. Boys started saving up again.

Out-Of-Class “| think | am the luckiest dog in the world. | have over 1,200 owners, | have plenty of food; there’s a never ending li st of things for me to do. In the morning, | wait for my pal Curtis to come and open the school. After | check things out, my friends start to come in. If the FCA is meeting, | can go there, or else | can go to the smoking area where there are lots of people. At 9:00 | have a wide class range to check out. After | find a class that suits my preference | catch up on my sleep. Until third period when I'm out practicing with the band, it sure is fun chasing the flags. Then it’s lunch time, I'll wait at the smoking area an d people are always bringing me food, | always wait for the mailman to come, for some reason | don't like him and every day | chase him and his car out of my parking lot. After school, there's lots of practices going on. Sometimes | get in the way but that’s part of my job. They are always expecting me to do things, like ride in parades and walk in CROP walks. But! can’t afford to leave the school for long, something might happen while I’m gone. Yep, | think I'm pretty lucky, and | wouldn't trade Places with RinTinTin.” 10—Student Life Activities .
