tL —H. Johnson To take a break from too much studying, I call Heather Eckert, raid the refrigera- tor, clean my guns, or just plain forget it. —David Studer, junior Can you remember all those times you thought you would go crazy because of studying or too much home- work? It seemed to be a nev- er ending cycle. Having to study ana do homework ev- ery night put a lot of pres- sure on the brain. Freshman Jason Lee stated. “To relax my brain I think of good-looking girls. Sophomore lohn Brawley said, “To relax my brain 1 stop studying, turn on the radio, and go to sleep.” Only having two words of input on the subject was senior Ranay Russell “Wnat brain?” Parents always wondered why their children were so tired. Did they ever stay up late to work on homework or to study for tests? Senior Craig Meza said, “How late I would stay up to study would depend on what I’m studying for. If it is an important test I would stay up until I knew the material.” Junior Jeremy Shirey commented. “I would stay up only until nine p.m. at the latest.” Junior Scott Reagle added, “I would not stay up at all.” Studying was not something that came easily for most people. It took a lot of time and effort. After awhile one needs a break. Freshman Lesa Fabiszak said, “When I need to take a break from studying, I eat and listen to mu- sic. Sophomore Courtney Elvea quoted, “I call a friend. Sopho- more Jason Eslinger added, “I go to sleep or eat. Some students felt they iust plain could not study or they found ways of avoiding it. Sopho- more Dan Ellerby added, “I forget and leave my books in my locker.” Also commenting was Freshman Amy Dempsey, “I make myself think I've studied enough.” Soph- omore Kevin Brown admitted, “I don’t even think of taking my books home. Junior Jason Morse commented, “To get away from too much homework and study- ing, I study hard in class and get it done; don't talk is the key.” Everyone had a different opin- ion of homework and studying, but the decision they made to study or not, determined the out- come of the grade they received.

As Gail Devenney, sophomore and Eric Lapham, senior finish their homework in the hallway, they wait for the wrestling match. Instead of going home, some students stay at the school and wait for games or any other ac- tivities. —M. Ramon Being able to make up a lab, Chris Lindsey, ju- nior and Karen Deven- ney. freshman, finish the missed lab in Mrs. Edward’s chemistry class. —M. Ramon —M. Ramon “School is like a rec- ord. Although it spins around and around, it never changes and you never fully under- stand it. You can learn from it. hate it, or like it.” —iVorm kolk. junior The hall was quiet and ee- rie. The sounds of the stu- dents had dispersed. The classrooms were locked and the lights had been turned off. but there was a light on. Inside the classroom there was a stu- dent working on a make-up test. In the next room there were students trying to make the deadline for the paper. In the gym students were having practices for sports. Off in the corner were a group of students trying to convey the day’s gossip. After school there were many things going on. Some- times students did so much after school that they considered it a sec- ond home. “The school is like a sec- ond home because my friends, which I consider my family, are here,” expressed Angie Shepherd, freshman. There were many reasons for staying after school. “I stay after school for band and basketball practice,” stated Carrie Beneker, sophomore. “After I got into an argument with Mrs. Karen Grove. I had to stay after for an hour of detention. I just talked to Steve Day and read a book the whole hour,” laughed David Trine, senior. Time after school depended on many factors. “I stay long enough to get to the car,” laughed Tim Sam- son, junior. “I stayed to 10 p.m. to help direct the traffic for the Band Festival,” declared Rachael Price, sophomore. “When practices for softball start. I don’t get done until 4 p.m.,” ex- pressed junior, Michelle Korman. After being here for four years, seniors felt sad that they had to leave the school since it was a sec- ond home. “I’m going to cry! I won’t be able to see my friends here,” ex- claimed Deirdra Randant, senior. “I’m going to miss all the friends and the teachers that I met over the years,” sighed Tina VanderHorst, senior. When students missed a test or got involved in a sport, there were days that students needed to stay after school. The time spent after school depended on the project that needed to be done. After a few years of practices, games, and test re- takes, students felt a feeling like that of their home. 44 Another Home
