Student Life (( I think it is a challenge to be different and to stand out in the crowd. Everyone is always doing what the next person is doing. I think sometimes you just have to get crazy! )} —junior Amy Gonzalez Getting ready for the big night, in general, played a part in student life. Prom, Turnabout, Homecoming, and various oth- er dances held throughout the year gave students extra activi- ties to participate in other than their own personal exper- iences. An ordinary day in the life of a student at Griffith might have been: get up; get ready for school; hop in the car, on the bus, bicycle, moped, motorcycle, or put on walking shoes; arrive at school just in time to hear the five minute bell and realize his locker just will not open, and run into class to the sound of the ruler cracking on the desk in front of him demanding to know where the homework is that was due yesterday. Homecoming, Turnabout, and Prom may have been the most important events in some students ' lives, while others enjoyed sitting back in a chair watching TV. However, gradu- ation is the event in high school that each student strives to participate in. Griffith students have somehow at sometime, made a posi- tive mark in someone else ' s life that will last a long time. 4— Student Life

Whatever one ' s in- terest, summer gives the chance to expand knowledge, have fun, or just relax without worrying about homework assignments. With the beginning of school comes the fall season. Leaves change, the air gets cooler and the days get shorter. Fall is the favorite season of many because of the different col- ors in the trees or also because of starting school activities which they want to be involved in. The beach may not be a popular place to go in the chilly and rainy days of September, October, and November, but they set the scene for a terrific football, volleyball, cross country or tennis season. Sophomore Charlie Blackwell said, I think fall is a great time of year because of all the different things to do like going to football games. I like the different colors that the leaves change, but I don ' t like when they fall because then I have to rake them all up. Fun in the sun traded for the tatest in schoot book tooks Summer can be anything but a vacation for many students. Along with summer comes the chance to improve or learn new skills, taste college life, earn money, or just lay back and relax. Workshops were a big part of summer. Whether one ' s interest was in band, football, cheerleading, or journalism, there was a summer camp to develop that interest. Senior Dan McCoy said, This year ' s Wishbone camp was very successful.
