Various activities filled the leisure hours for many students. Though school started at 8:20 and ended at 3:30; the day was still not completed. Many students participated in afterschool activities such as GAA, FHA, FFA, Pep Club, Cheerleading, Science Club, yearbook and school paper publications, and sports. The atmosphere was usually informal giving the students a break from their books and an opportunity to express and develop their interests.
