Money takes Involvement in school-related and outside activities has always varied from individual to individual. Apathy will exist to some degree in any situation. However, Marshall's student apathy was almost obliterated by a new-found spirit of participation in every facet of teenage life. From part-time jobs to parties, students exhibited increased interest in enjoying and benefitting from the high school experience.

Because most students spent cash almost as quickly as they acquired it, their frequent spending sprees made it difficult to imagine living on a strict budget. On the other hand, local news releases reported the dilemma in Fairfax County. Faced with budget strains and the repeated failure of a school bond referendum, the County School Board threatened to terminate extracurricular activities, late buses, sports, sparsely populated courses, and several teaching and administrative positions.

We still went to English class, attempted math homework, enjoyed football games, partied, and made friends — as if the cutbacks didn't affect us at all. Perhaps the thought that the happiness of our irreplaceable “golden years was in some way endangered made us try just a little harder to be ourselves. We were determined to prove that the cutbacks wouldn't hurt us . . . they couldn't hold us back.
