there’s always something to do s The bell rang at v 2:12 p.m. daily and everyone was free to go; but where? Most of the students left the building and went off to discover the world, while other lucky students were trapped in school for whatever reason until 5:00 or later. For those who left the school, there were various options. Some were fortunate enough to go home and avoid their homework for a while by watching the soaps or MTV. Others went to work to earn a little cold hard cash or to the library to work on a project that was due soon. Those who had the pleasure of staying in school extra hours went to practice or a meeting. Then there were always students who had to stay after school because they were late for a class. But after the doors were locked and all went home, a wonderful miracle occurred— students got to have fun! Fun could be found everywhere. People just had to look for it, that ' s all. School events such as football or basketball games and dances provided entertainment for socially starved students. The movies, mall and junk food runs were other options for students who wanted to get away from school. Collectively, no matter which diversion students chose- parties, work, school clubs, etc.— student life was what they made of it. 6 Student Life
