Chance for Student Initiative, Leadership Ability For parents who have to beg and threaten to encourage their offspring to do anything beyond the barest minimum of homework, it is hard to imagine these same Redskins conducting an animated club meeting or shouting a basket- ball team on to victory. But it ' s done every day. Sleep- starved scholars drag out of bed, hoping to survive break- fast. Some seven hours later they give pep talks, draw election posters, sell dance tickets, and attend two-hour play rehearsals. This year a student was forced to select a reasonable load of activities from three elections, four proms or par- ties, as well as innumerable club meetings, after-game dances, concerts, sports events, Hi-Quiz programs, pep ses- sions, assorted speech contests, and journalism trips — all these being optional activities. As always, a few people tried everything. All was accomplished without parental prodding and with a minimum of threats from teachers. f mmXi yV The ' Skins are gonna have their day, tonight sing the senior bovs r the pep session before the South Side game.

Students Seek Diversion from Teachers and Homework Jeannie Sargent and Patty Johnstone have a sneak preview of the culinary masterpiece. Disproving the notion that this country ' s youth are inactive and lazy, numerous Redskins spent their leisure time in a round of hardly peaceful activity. Ardent fun-lovers seldom waited for the week end, but carried their cheer into the classroom. On week ends Poka- gon State Park was the site of tobogganing and ice skating when it was cold enough. The promise of a ski-run in the northern part of the state sent expectant skiers to the sports shop or attic for their equipment. In spring a few spartan swimmers ignored the chill to take a plunge in their former skating rink. On Friday, after the football or basketball game, those who had remembered to buy their tickets under the new closed-dance- system of the Student Council went to the after-game hop. Saturday morning was a time for greasing the car, hemming a dress, and preparing for Saturday night. Saturday night meant a slumber party, a dance, a movie, a hayride, a burger and fries, a hello to Sunday morning. Later Sunday morning was church. For some, leisure time meant a chance for a nap or a quiet session with a book — a moment to recover from the rest of the week. But for many, sleep became a for- gotten word as they were forced to forego their rest to engage in active spare time. nd Judy Mather take advantage of hi; serving at a party.
