After School Action Students look forward to the end of the day. After three-hundred minutes of listening to lectures, note-taking, and tests, the last bell provides an escape out of the classroom atmosphere. For many students, after school means going home and watching t.v., meeting with friends, doing homework or sleeping. The day has been a long one and at home they can enjoy what is left of the afternoon. Work continues, when other students go directly to their jobs. Here studen ts can use some of their skills learned at West and make some money. Various clubs, sports, and organizations keep many students after school ends. Here students meet other students with similar inter¬ ests. Many after school hours are put in by faculty members to assist with a club or coach a team.
