WORKING vonder. There were days hat seemed endless. Those vere the days when you fell isleep — and got caught — n every class. And then there were Jays that were over before hey began. On those days, rou were so busy that you Jidn't have time to eat. In act. you were left wishing he day were even longer. nd you wondered where your ime went. So where did it go? Veil, that depended on Yho you were. The athlete spent a )t of time at practice and lames. Coaches demanded hat your sport take op priority in time. The serious student studied 5:45 p.m. Taking a break between customers, they share a laugh. Lke many students. Janet and Kristie found that their jobs at Burger Brothers took up a good portion of their time. Lett: Where did the day — and night — go? According to results of a random student survey conducted by Profile , on the average this rs how a typrcat student's time was divided up away many of his or her hours. Daily assignments took enough time, and preparing for tests led to even more pressure. The worker put his or her time into the clock. As you earned money, you lost time — time which you valued highly. Chances were, you probably tried to split your time so you could do more than one of these. Sometimes you had to make decisions about which was most important to you — and then make some cuts while always hoping for the best. It wasn’t easy, working against the clock. But every day was precious, so you had to make every minute count There just wasn't any time for play. 8:20 p.m. Getting out in the open. Dave Barr is ready for the pass from his teammates Whatever sport you competed in. a lot of time and effort, practice and games, left little time for anything else 11:30 p.m. Homework? Yes. time had to be found to do all the homework that teachers gave — and there always was plenty. Pam B rkhoU finds that putting off homework just means she has to do it later at night. 7:35 p.m. Sometimes people didn't realize the work the band went through. Rehearsing, marching, and being on hand to cheer on the teams took time. Debbie Marxen watches the game as she awaits halltime marching 12:30 a.m. Finally asleep.' Tracy Sabaka's busy weekdays didn't leave much time for sleep. And if it was hard to find time to sleep on week nights, try the weekends! No wonder Monday mornings found you sleepy. All Work 27

All work, no play 6:30 a.m. Guys may be able to gel ready in ten minutes, but most girls had to get up especially early to get their hair just right, pick out the perfect outfit, and put on their face . Dawn Marshall carefully curls her hair. 10:30 a.m. Six hours a day. five days a week, nine months a year! The time spent in school was almost unbelievable (not to mention sometimes unbearable). Dan Dwyer puts in his time as he works during class. 1:07 p.m. It seemed that the only spare time you had to talk to friends was that short passing time between classes Hardly enough time for Lori Thorud to spread the latest bit of juicy gossip to friends Debbie Skinn and Jane Macho. 0 arly to bed and early to rise made a man healthy, wealthy, and ... downright lucky. At least by a student’s standards. Early to rise? You bet. 7:30 classes didn’t leave much room for choice about that, but — early to bed? What did that mean? Early became a relative term. Most nights, your lamp was left burning only through the p.m. hours. Other times, you were lucky to sneak in a couple hours before having to face the bathroom mirror with a groan. Mornings were the bane of your existence. And naps were your salvation 3:30 p.m. Practice. Practice. Sports take practice and practice takes time. Jean Paulson runs laps at the track to get in shape and prepare for crosscountry meets. Many of you spent time alter school in similar ways. — if you had time. But who had time? Too often you couldn’t even sacrifice your “fun time to catch a wink or two. because you didn't have time for fun. As you did your homework on the bus and grabbed a bite to eat on the way from sports practice to work, it helped to remind yourself: “These are the best years of my life. These are the best years of my life.” It made you wonder what you had to look forward to. You’d heard the ugly rumors that college was even worse. But they didn't worry you. How much longer could a 20-hour day get. anyway? Sometimes, you had to 4:30 p.m. Having fun? While on the job? Two ingredients that usually don't seem to mix. But. as Janet Hilken and Kristie Scherber found, working could be fun il done with a friend. 26 All Work

The evolution it had to come. There could be no getting around it. That beautiful process by which the lowest of life forms gradually develops into the advanced, the superior, the sublime. It was ... the evolution of a senior. No. those wonderful beings — the seniors — were not born perfect. They had to rise slowly through the murk and slime. Even they were once ... common sophomores. It wasn't as easy as it sounded. Sophomores were forced to go through grueling processes known as health” and Phy.

Juniors had an equally difficult conditioning procedure. Colleges were watching. After a hard week of serious study, the junior discovered weekends.Jhat meant parties. And that meant trouble.
