Free Time: The most enjoyable part of the high school game is weekend and vacation lei- sure time. Students use free time in differ- ent ways throughout the year. In autumn, as the air crispens and leaves fall, weekends are spent as football games, raking leaves, working on Homecoming, and enjoying the last few warm weather days. As fall gives way to winter, people are kept busy preparing for the holidays, waxing skis and sleds, ice skating, snowmobiling and cheering on winter sports teams. A wide variety of spring sports, launching boats, the prom, and Easter vacation are the major activities that accompany spring. As summer lurks around the corner, stu- dents anticipate days at the beach, water skiing, and the financial stability of a sum- mer job. The many activities that occupy students' free time during the four seasons of the year make playing the high school game more enjoyable. s M.. ,,,, ..., - M ...,, .. Closing Theme 193

Playing as an individual: Although being with friends is an impor- tant part of the game, an individual must make his own decisions and set his goals. A few important tasks such as job interviews and applying for college must be attended to and thought through by the individual. For some, the first step was taken through sum- mer jobs when money was earned and saved toward a college education. Others used this money to get a solid start after high school. Meeting new people on the job helps a person discover his true personality and ex- plore a different kind of game with new rules and players. As years progress, the individual decides what type of people he wants as friends ac- cording to his own wants and needs. Playing the game as an lnvividual is an important part of the developmental pro- cess and the decisions made in latter years of high school will affect the rest of the play- er's life. 3 l 194 Closing Theme if ..-- E .t...
