Dedication, diversity prevail School, community and work demand devotion Although students spend only six to seven hours a day in classes, most will agr« e that school is a major part of their life. For some, dedication to classes goes beyond 2:50 p.m. The majority of students take work home with them each night. Because their homework is important, they find tin- time to complete it l etween school activities and or jobs. Stu- dents who choose to work or partici- pate in a Iter-school activities are usually aware of possible conse- quences to class grades. dill llolhert. a senior, has l een in- volved with the Mummers' plays for the last two years. Although she ad- mitted her homework suffered during the course of the production, she said, It's tin- classes and the tirades that are going to tiet me into college, not the plays.” School is a place where many friendships are built. The halls are filled with laughter and chatter. Most students feel that without friends, school would be dull. Junior Patti O'Brien said that her friends are a very im| ortnnt part of her life. Your peers are everything,” she said. They are like your outlet for your problems in school.” Obviously, friends aren't perfect. Students must study and get their assignments done themselves. This year, with the absence of study halls, more students are gathering in the library before school and during lunch, trying to get that last problem done before class. So when students rush home from work or school to get homework done so they can meet a group of friends | after the hallgame, they should remember what every adult advises; “Knjoy it now, these are the best years of your life.” 16 — Student Life

Links staff has pride They’re more than pop journalists Being denied the title of journalist was a problem with which Links staff members had to cope. Most ac- cusers felt that yearbook was for pop journalists, reserved strictly for high school students and simplistic style. But Editor Kevin Fullerton dis- agreed. The senior felt that it’s still a publication, and the effort and work put into it is just as much as the Ad- vocate. “We cover the school like a news- paper does. It’s just more of a maga- zine style,” he said. According to senior Beth Kolb, a person needed to be a mixture of an independent and a team worker to survive on yearbook. Not only did the students need to show individual in- itiative, but they also worked with other staff members to merge all the work into a single publication. Advisor Lee Johnson felt that stu- dents learned the technical side of putting out a publication. They learned layout, writing and organi- zational skills. They also gained a personal knowledge of communicat- ing and getting along with not only the other staff members, but also other people in the school and com- munity. Everyone had their own impression of what was best about the class. Beth felt that the staff was a fun group. “1 liked the wild and cosmic peo- ple,” she said. “The staff meetings usually became crazied riots, but things still got done.” Nine of the 13 staff members went on a journalism trip to Chicago. They returned with a two honorable men- tion awards in a national write-off competition. Jenny Barron placed in yearbook theme and design, and Troy Johnson in yearbook photography. The distributing of the books was the special part of the year for Kevin. He said that all the hard work and effort seemed unappreciated until the students received their yearbooks. “When you see the kids’ faces and hear their excitement about the book, you know it was worth it,” he said.
