PLACE TO BE ’ The picnic area behind the building attracts many students in the morning and at lunchtime. These individuals take time to chat before first period begins. (Photo by S. Weid-lich) Every person had his own idea of how to pass his free time. Many students held down jobs after school at McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken and the various grocery stores throughout the area. Working was an important asset to help with the expenses of being a regular teen. Many of the students got involved in extracurricular activities. Preparations were always going on for prom, homecoming or graduation events. There was always something happening. Many long hours were spent working on the musical, leaving little time for anything else. No matter how one chose to spend his time, something kept him hopping. Everyone worked together in one aspect or another, making GHS-THE PLACE TO BE. Student Life Divider-7
