1 7 other hour There's more to life than classes Even though students endured classes for six hours a day, it seem- ed that at least two or three times a week were devoted to activities before and after school. Although they were fun, the activities dreaded most required participa- tion before 7 a.m. and those later in the afternoon extending into dinnertime. The early morning agenda included club meetings, band practices, soccer, track, and drillteam workouts. During foot- ball season, for example, the Pacesetters committed themselves to 6:30 practices on Thursday and Friday mornings. As senior drillteam member Nancy Kane commented, uOn some days, it was really hard to get myself going so early in the morning. But for most, the day still didn't end after a heavy class load. On several afternoons a week, the Wranglers painted signs for the 12 X Student Life - Before and After School halls, Pacesetters drilled for up- coming routines, and cheerleaders organized plans for pep rallies. Others participated in either after-school athletics or part-time jobs. And on those rare after- noons when they had nothing planned, students wound down by going shopping, jogging, or simply watching T.V. lf time per- mitted and their pockets were full, groups sometimes dashed off to the favorite Uhot-spots like Braum's or McDonald's for an afternoon munchie. Needless to say, the most popular evening, and occasional late night activity for the lucky student was homework. Most afternoon time was set aside exclusively for stu- dying. And after such a grueling day, one's own bed seemed quite welcoming, even if only to an- ticipate the events of the ap- proaching day.
