have so much to do,” you think to yourself as you let out a sigh. Between school and work, who has free time these days? Even when you do get something out of the way, something else is always around the corner awaiting your attention. ”1 really don’t have much free time because I work every day after school and on weekends,” says senior Paul Aversano, “but the little time that I do have I spend with my girlfriend or doing my homework.” Similarly, junior Cathy Rivera works “seven days a week, and between school and work, I really don't have much free time. I live for Saturday mornings, when I have off and can play football.” In addition to school and work, many students are also in- volved in extra-curricular activities. After-school activities, though enjoyable, are also very time consuming. For example, senior Lisa Grillo’s schedule consists of school, extra-curricular activities, and work. She comments, ‘‘I don’t really have much free time since I study, cheer, and work.” However, if you are one of the fortunate students who does not work, you may have more time to yourself. For example, se- nior Tom Gray has “a lot of free time because I don’t work.” On his free time Tom likes “listen to Van Halen and David Lee Roth. I also like to hang out and have cold drinks with my friend Wilbur.” Whether you choose to spend your time in school, at work, with friends, or alone, your time is very important. Free time does not usually come about very readily, so when it does, just sit back, relax, and enjoy the silence. — Maria Pohanis A regular sight are friends such as seniors Dorene Barile, Nancy Hart and Kim Heath, who gather in the front lobby after school to spend just a few minutes of spare time before catching their rides home. Seniors Vicki Cullen and Diane Boehmler enjoy an unhurried walk off campus to spend a leisurely lunch. Free time finds an thirsty student rushing around to locate a soda.

Rajesh Baba ni Junior Anthony Ambrosio is overwhelmed by the pressures of trigonometry and he demonstrates his feelings by having a wres- tling match with one of Mrs. Warner’s plants. In the days of pressure and difficulty, sophomore Heather Hayes deals with it all by acting goofy and wearing funny-look- ing glasses. hether we’re at school, at home, out with friends or alone, stress always manages to work its way into our lives. Our day is made up of hundreds of different pressures and influences which mold us and help us grow. The ways we deal with these outside forces often reflect our basic per- sonalities and characteristics. As we have changed through the years so too have our pressures and the way we deal with them. There is a general consensus among students that the pres- sures and stresses have increased from ninth grade to twelfth. Senior Nauman Shah says, “I noticed a lot more academic pres- sure in eleventh grade than at any other time.” Certainly the types of pressure on us have changed. Senior Nancy Talento com- ments, “In the ninth grade I didn’t have to worry about working or driving a car or college.” College! To many of us it was one of the paramount pres- sures throughout High school, reaching its acme in twelfth grade when applications were due. “SATs, ACHs, APs, were all things that suddenly became very important to me,” comments senior Robert O’Hara, “and sometimes it made me freak out.” It’s true, in ninth grade, we had far fewer responsibilities and now in 12th grade “pressure has changed; now we have to worry about our 'pa’ievesi %e4 cviect future more so than in previous years.” No matter what we do, however, pressure will always sur- round us. Some kinds of pressures are beneficial to us; they spin us into action; on the other hand pressure can also make us leap before we look and cause us to make mistakes. Pressure may sur- round us but we can’t let it envelop us and we must always keep in mind that we are only human and we can only do our best, hence, nobody is perfect, right? — Tom Reilly W In the guidance office, a place where pressure is an everyday event, Mr. Dal- vano expresses his frustrations to the entire office.
