high school life is a curious mixture. we are told that a high school's main purpose is academic, that we go to school solely to learn and to prepare ourselves for the future. we are told that the colleges or trade schools of our choice will ask first how well we did with out subjects, and only second ask about other parts of our school life. and thus we are urged and prodded to get higher marks or to win awards. but our years in high school are a life in themselves, there are innumerable byproducts to this academic” process, many of which might never have occurred if we hadn’t attended this school, many of them may some day be more important than anything else we accomplish here, would you have taken that girl from across town to the senior ball if you hadn V gone to school? would you have played soccer on a field in center moriches, played mad Ophelia on a stage before thousands, gone to Syracuse for a seminar, or have done anything extraordinary at all were it not for school?
