Time well spent Student Life generally refers to the time spent in the classroom. However, a student's activities expand beyond the hours he or she spends in school. This year Lincoln High offered a variety of activities for students to turn to in their spore time. Some students selected to go home, while others chose to stay at school and play football or help construct the set for the all school play. Weekends played a big port in Student Life. What are you doing this weekend, was a question almost all stu- dents heard or asked. The answers varied. A few students said, I'm gonna go to a great party. Others drowsily answered, I think I'll stay home and sleep, and many students replied, I have to work this weekend.' The majority of students had jobs, both full and port time. Fast food restaraunts. movie theatres, car washes, clothes stores, swimming p ools and skating rinks were just a few of the various businesses where LHS students earned their spore change. That money went for such necessary items as eraseable p ens, gasoline, clothes, dates and numerous other articles that parents don’t always hand out. Many students worked without poy. The spxrit organi- zations consisting of cheerleaders, pep club, flag corp , and drill team pot in long hours of hard work perfecting cheers, making locker signs, and choreographing rou- tines. This hard work was shown at the games and pep rallies. Sometimes the hard effort was rewarded with a team victory. Personal satisfaction can be the payment for students involved in journalism. The Advocate, The Links and Image were vehicles LHS students used to express them- selves in writing. Much time was spent, before and after school, interviewing p eople, writing stories and pasting up layouts. Sophomore, Junior, and Senior Steering Commit- tees allowed students to take part in their student govern- ment Each class elected officers and set goals for the year. The junior class was responsible for the p rom and the senior class chose their class gift These three groups provided a service for the school. The hardest job of all when you are a student, has the highest pay. Studying takes time and concentration. It also takes the willingness to learn. No one, including parents and teachers, can force a student to learn. However, if one selects to take the time and study for a test, the reward in the long run will make the time sp ent, all worth while. Student Life involves a variety of p eople and a variety of activities. Lincoln High offers an extensive curriculum of activities for students to become involved in. The city of Lincoln also op ens many experiences for students. Students are tomorrow's future; so open your eyes and seek, view and participate. Student Life-13
