With the hustle and bustle of school, some responsibility such as a clean room arc often overlooked by many students Baibra Butler and Avis London invest their time making the King High band top notch school escape Many have jobs to fill the time and earn money to spend on the weekend. For the athletic or musically inclined students long prac- tices filled the afternoon. Others who had unique talents or interests had specialized classes, such as dancing, or art to occupy much of their time. Weekends played a major part in the students' great escape. The mob can always be found at Burger King. Some caught rays of sun at the beach, while others shopped at the mall for that new desperately needed outfit Some went out for a night out on the town with that special date, and end up in the ecstasy of fine cuisine. Then every student has to devote some time to work around the house, though many students' rooms were not very neat No matter how students spend their time out of school, all were welcome for the chance to escape the enjoyable yet stressful pace of school life.

A Change in Tradition Sugar Shak is an event that brings love and joy to those less fortunate than ourselves. Sugar Shak began in the mid 1970's by an ambitious group of girls from the hospitality club. Their idea spread and more clubs, such as the band, Thes- pians, and the student government, became involved. The student body also involved themselves by making donations to purchase gifts for both the young and the elderly. These young girls from the hospitality club captured their idea and made it a reality. The Christmas event became a tradition to be carried out every year, but this year there were a few changes. No longer were there bus loads of King students traveling to the Sugar Shak. it was instead relocated in our gym With Sugar Shak relocation in the gym new doors were opened. Any club could be involved, as long as they participated prior to the day of Sugar Shak. Many new clubs participated in such ways as collecting donations, providing a Santa, and providing presents. The new changes were welcomed eagerly and provided for a better Sugar Shak for the future. Debbie Akre The Social Studies club, newly formed this year, participated by painting (aces on the children.
