Is there life after school? Whrat do students do outside of chemistry, algebra, and Shakespeare? Whether it’s work or play, everybody’s life changes after school hours. Many people find themselves involved with friends or family, while others enjoy a quiet evening alone watching T V. Sports fanatics take advantage of the weather by skiing in the winter or swimming during summer. The behavior pattern of an average student involves much more than studying; a definite change comes as evenings and weekends approach. This transition is the changing factor called Student Life. 14 Student Life

J—ife After 3:OQ Homework: Every Night Fright Homework (hom’wurk). 1. Work done at home. 2. Lessons to be studied or school work to be done outside the classroom. Perhaps the one unchanging factor in high school life is homework. Everyone has it at one time or another. Of course, those in physics can expect more homework than those in Foods I. Outside the classroom does not necessarily mean at home. It often means fourth hour homework being done in third hour, which makes more homework for that night because of the time missed in third hour. Outside the classroom is also on the lawn outside the school, on the benches, or in the lounge. Homework sometimes doesn’t get done at all. Many students have good intentions of getting up early in the morning to finish lessons so they can watch T.V. at night. Regrettably, it doesn’t often get done. Every morning can be heard the familiar cry, “I didn’t do my homework last night. What am I going to tell the teacher?” And the things they tell the teachers! Mrs. Hall, Mr. Anderson, and Mr. Haslam revealed some of the excuses they have heard for unfinished assignments. I was babysitting.” 'l had a headache.” I left it in the car, and my dad took it.” “I had a yearbook deadline.” I couldn’t find a pen.” ”1 had a hot date. I just couldn't break it.” From one student came the original excuse. Once when I hadn’t finished an assignment, I cut it into little pieces and told the teacher my nephew did it. She gave me an A!” Spinnin' Wheels From ’58 Darts to souped up Cameros, cars play an important part in students’ lives. Guys worship them, sophomores dream for the day to drive them, and girls don't understand them. Some purr like kittens; others rumble like thunder; some are little and pudgy; others are long and luxurious. Besides the expense of purchasing a car, there are always gas and maintenance bills. With inflation sending fuel prices higher, gas has soared to $1 a gallon. With sophomores enrolled in driver’s education, the world faces the dange of new drivers on the road. Many rookies are safe and legal, but there are always a few reckless drivers that endanger other people s safe travel. Wrecks are common among high school students, but most of these are only fenderben-ders, There are, of course, the more experienced drivers, sometimes called “car freaks.” They spend hours of their spare time tuning up, painting, polishing, cleaning, and just loving their cars. Oddly enough, these people are usually the same ones that can be heard after school gunning their engines and noisily pulling away at 50 mph. 16 Student Life
