Students Unwind After Class hether their thing is working part-time, participating in athletics, pursuing a hobby, or just spending time at home, all students have a life outside of classes. How students spend their spare time is what makes their high school years the most memorable of their lives. The freedom of an open campus provides students with an opportunity to get a release from the school environment, at least for a few minutes. They make use of this extremely brief period of time to meet with friends, get some lunch and un- wind. lt never seems like it is quite long enough, but every little bit helps. Lunch consists of cafeteria food, a brown bag from home, or an off-campus run to the Nlbble Nook, Burger King, Rainbow's End or what ever stimulates their taste buds. The various curbs and sidewalks provide a convenient if somewhat uncomfortable place in the sun for dining. Fortu- nately, the weather rarely interferes with the outdoor con- sumption of lunch. Often the weather is so nice, students have a hard time making it back to class on time. Lunch isn't the only time students spend out of class. Once they leave school, they enter a different life. Students have many vocations and avocations which they pursue after school, including surfing, sailing, skiing, cruising San Luis, and bagging groceries at Wil- liams Brothers. Getting from here to there is also an important part of student life. Cars, motorcycles and scooters are the popular modes of travel. Believing their transportation to be an exten- sion of their personality or the image they wish to project, many students devote a great deal of time and money to their vehicle, whether it is a late model Porsche, a 1964 1X2 Mus- tang, a scooter, or a bike. lt is these extra curricular activities that provide the wonder- ful memories students keep of their high school years. What- ever pleasure the student takes, it is their out of school life that makes them unique. The variety of individuals and options help make Morro Bay High School the most on the coast. w! s-Wt, Q K 'hw 2 - 3 44 Student Life

Seniors Are Big Time Spendei y the time a student reaches his senior year he has gone from being put on the bus every morning by his mommy, to driving to school, dating, making career choices, and taking responsibility for many of the financial aspects of his life. Although it is with some reluc- tance that good-bye is said to these carefree days of childhood most look forward to the freedom of being a senior, at last. Being a senior is a very exciting time,but it can also be expensive. While a few are financially indepen- dent many find it necessary to seek employment to help finance the last year of a free public education. In some cases managing one's finances can be the most difficult lesson we ever learn. Some will never master it and many will never even understand it. How can I be overdrawn if I still have checks in my checkbook? , is a familiar la- ment. Parents have long understood how expensive it is to raise children and are eager for their offspring to as- sume complete financial independence as soon as possi- ble. While some choose to do without, most participate to at least some degree in the senior year ritual which is a cultural rite of passage. Regardless of where the money comes from, here is where it goes. The figures are, of course, only estimates but rest assured that no matter how bad it seems, it will only get worse next year at college.
