Students Are Active Although most of a student’s life is spent in school, students perceived time to attend basketball games, and other school activities. On game nights. Fireside Inn and the Cree-Mee were jammed with students who had worked up appetites by pulling their teams to victory. Saint Libory for dancing, and Belleville for movies, were popular with students on Saturday nights. Still other students found release on weekends by bowling or watching their favorite TV programs.
