imlthough fun things sometimes happen in class, it is the hours pupils spend out of school that help them grow socially. Time spent sitting in desks is rather repetitive, as semester after semester, students go to the same classrooms. Even though the after-school activities break up the routine, they aren ' t without their ups and downs. Underclassmen who can ' t drive are limit- ed to the happenings to which their parents can chauffeur them. Free-wheeling upperclassmen soon find that the price of gas puts a squeeze on their wallets. Growing socially also poses another problem- that of learning how to cope with the opposite sex. Just ask the guy who has finally gotten up the courage to dial that special number what a busy signal does to one ' s confidence. Or, consid- er the girl who has perfectly curled her hair, only to discover the humidity is in the drippy range. Anyone in a similar situation will testify that moments of despair accompany social growth. All is not lost. Car pools solve the transporta- tion problems, and the date goes smoothly, wilt- ed curls and all. By Monday morning, it ' s easy to laugh at the mess-ups and smile at the memories of good times. -Cindy Beck A euchre craze has mushroomed overnight and people can be seen playing almost anywhere.
