Campus Life ‘fun’ attracts students Where can teenagers go to have fun, be with friends and other peers, eat munchies, discuss topics that deal di- rectly with teenage life, and just simply have a good time? The answer for many GHS students is Campus Life. Ju- nior Melvin Montgomery explained why he goes to Campus Life. “For the fun of it; it takes my mind off certain stuff.” Campus Life is a Youth for Christ organization for high school students. Campus Life has been around nationally for approximately 50 years and in Garrett for seven years.
