Pictured taking necessary notes to get started, Jeff Tibbs and Dwayne Ques- Looking back on our first year in school, we remember receiving simple homework assignments. At the time, reading little red-covered books about Dick and Jane and writing the numbers from one to ten seemed to be difficult chores. Our parents, however, always helped by reminding us when to get busy and by checking on our progress. As we continued through school, our lessons became more difficult and we had to devote more time to our studies. | Although our parents were always around to help, the main responsibility to get our homework done lay with us. enberry take time out to smile at a joke. Senior and Junior term papers use many encyclopedias, card catalogs, and hours of work. Now that we have reached high school, we have generally accepted the fact we will have at least a small amount of studying to do each night, and we find that we can no longer rely on our par- ents to keep track of it. Each day, it is our responsibility to set aside a time and place to study. As we look around the school, we find that some of us choose to spend the morning, before class begins, sitting in the bandroom hall putting the finishing touches on the day’s homework.

A few of us work better sprawled in our car with the doors open and the radio blaring.

LOOK AT US! Playtime Is a Change of Pace Whether it’s goofing off or playing a sport, we students like to break away from it all. Due to a longer lunch period, we find a bit more time to relax and play our favorite songs on the jukebox. Although lunch study is intended for us to finish homework or prepare for a test, many of us use this time to play cards, talk to friends, sleep, or just be silly. While some of us like to stay in bed an extra twenty minutes, others come to school “bright and early” to get in a quick game of chess before first period. We put in a hard day’s work at school and we like to relax by playing pool, prac- ticing techniques of frisbee throwing, or listening to our ‘“souped-upped”’ Hi-Fi systems. We spend our summer days at the beach or lake enjoying the sun and the surf before a new school year begins.
