UP IN THE AIR Working is fun for me because I am doing what I want to do. I go to practice after school at least two or three days a week and I race on Sundays, Michael Lord, sophomore, said. BETWEEN CLASSES After each class there's not much time to mess around and we were using our time wisely, Jason Aydelott, junior, said. AT THE BONFIRE After school you're really tired of being inside all day and we were trying to get our minds off school and on the game by having a little fun, said Felicia Hitt, senior.

Nachos! , a 16 year old drawing on a chalk board, a guy wearing a prom dress and someone's nose stuck in a book were just a few activities that occur during lunch among students and teachers alike. Talking with friends was one of the most popular activities for students during lunch. Lunch was a time to get away from class. I enjoyed talking with my friends because we couldn't talk much during class, Tammy Senter, senior, said. Homework was another must that students did in lunch. I did my homework during lunch because I had a lot of other things to do when I was at home, Suzanne Evans, senior, said. Students were not the only ones that took advantage of the time given for lunch. Teachers and administrators also used this time to do important things. The school had to cut down on PA announcements during class so I talked to them during lunch. This way I could talk to all the students and see them at the same time. I felt like I could communicate with the students better, John Sullivan, principal, said. Clubs and classes took lunch time to make money. - I helped because I had such a big mouth and people could hear me yell Nachos, Nachos!', Don Powers, science teacher, said. Lunch time was always used. Sometimes it was a break from the day, sometimes it was business as usual, but it was always used.

In order for me to play, I've got to work first, Roy Rogers, junior, stated. Working is very important to me, because I am able to do the things I want. But even though I have to work, I always save time CLEANING UP I thought that we should lend a hand to help clean up after working on the float and also to help support our senior class, Cort Williams, senior,said. ,, DURING A PEP RALLY Pride is a heavy burden, said Don Powers, biology teacher. Mr. Powers loves a pep rally. for my social life, Kathy Brindle, senior, said. School work is important because the rest of your life depends on the four years that you stay in high school. If you don't make passing grades in high school you can't get a diploma and without a high school diploma you will have a hard time trying to find a job that could support you and a family for the rest of your life, Chassidy Stewart, junior, said. One of the most interesting past times in a teenagers life is playing and after school I do a lot of it, said Adam McAllister, junior. Work is fine, but as soon as the last bell rings on Friday its party time, Robert Davis, freshman, stated.
