What filled school days? JK student's life was joyous. There were games to be won, plays to be rehearsed, parties to go to and dances to attend. Besides the three formal dances (Homecoming, Winter Royalty and From) there were many more outlets for a student's time. Students had relationships not only with their friends but also their families and teachers. In the trivial passages of days - filled with jobs, school work and good times, students pursued everything from good grades to a good friend to a fun party. Some things were more trivial than others. It depended on the individual. To some, getting a B in Geometry was the thrill of a lifetime while to others more studious, getting A's in every class brought a good feeling. Students' activities varied also. There were the socializers who knew everyone in school and were involved in at least eight clubs, while on the other hand, there were students who were just that. They came for five classes and then they were gone. Ho matter how trivial or importantly their time was spent, it was still all a part of a student's life.
