XVhen the three-thirty bell rings each day, some of them gather their books and dash for busses. But others voluntarily stay to Work on projects, to get extra help from teachers, or just to have a good time. Not content with six periods of schoolwork, sev- eral groups met after classes this year to study for the verbal and math sections of the College Board examinations. Programs were scheduled for students entering the Indiana Achievement contests.

that he pursues with boundless energy North Centralites never lack for something to do even when the strenuous school day is over. Usually algebra, English, history, or some other assignment furnishes work for afternoon and evening hours, but occasionally there are no lessons. That means leisure time to read a good book, to work on a hobby, or to sit and watch television. Household chores claim their fair share of time. Girls are called upon to help with the cleaning, dish washing, and the care of younger children. Boys confine their efforts to yard-work, odd jobs, and keeping the family car in top-notch condition. Dates, as always, are important. Even in the busiest of schedules, there is time for a coke date, a show, or an occasional dance. In other words, North Centralites lead a life typical of teen-agers the coun- try over. Having a strong boy around the house is a hoon to parents. Bob Galm shovels snow from the family walks. This was .1 year that kept him husy fur the winter was unusually severe. Q Being a good baby-sitter is a profitable iob for teenagers in search of extra money. Linda Peak has her small charge, Lanny Hooker, spell- bound as she reads the comic strip to him. Dates sometimes seem more important than any other activity in a North Centralite's life.
