IN SCHOOL AFTER SCHOOL It's 3pm and its after school. So where do you go now? Home you might say? Well for the majority of PSJA students, many do go home, but for others its the beginning of an extracurricular activity. At 3pm Monday thru Friday education is over for the day for some of the 3000 students. For many, their livelyhood dramatics ly changes afterwards well into the night hours. Even though school starts at 8am and after six hours, students fly off to their own world. Extracurricular activities arc the life of many students because this is what makes the student active. After school activities range from practicing a duet or solo for U.I.L. tournaments, basketball practice. student council meetings, thespians acting out a vital role, journalism writing, class writing, practicing the serve in tennis. T. V. Productions video taping, FFA busy taking care of their animals. OEA students developing their typing skills. KOTC and their military procedures, band members counting their steps in line. DECA students busy at work, and the list of activities goes on and on. Is there always something to do and be part of after school? The answer to this question is up to the student because it's the responsibility, enthusiasm and decision he shc has to make to be a part of. Sure its alot of hard work, time consuming. fun or exciting or then again boring, but afterschool activities are at times the life of a PSJA student. Their commitment, endurance to be active in high school sets an example that they are dynamic.
