After School Life When the final bell rings at the end of the school day, students go their separate ways. Many Richard Winn students participate in after school activ- ities. One of these activities is athletics, not only football, basketball, base- ball, tennis, and golf, but also gymnastics and tap and ballet dancing. In fact, many of the lower school girls have won gymnastics awards. Outdoor sports such as hunting is another favorite pastime for Richard Winn stu- dents. Other students can be found at Lake Wateree skiing, even in the win- ter. Many upper school students have part-time jobs after school. These include working in local fast food restaurants, grocery stores, downtown stores and offices, cutting grass, and babysitting. Some students are involved in church youth groups and volunteer work in the community such as the Youth Soil Conservation Board. This group is responsible for planting the trees and bushes around the school as well as other community projects. All of these activities help the students develop their talents and char- acter all of which are important in becoming a well-rounded student, by Rose Owens and Jan Murray Kerri Weed takes her turn at bat in a pick-up game after school as Bill Dove gives some expert advice on how to hold the bat.

Working for the Weekend After studying ail week at school, the Richard Winn stu- dents look forward to the weekend. As Greg Castles puts it, Weekends are for doing exactly what I want to do. The high school students usually spend their week- ends around Winnsboro or in Columbia with their friends or dates. Some of their favorite hangouts are Melton's Mar- ket-EZE and Manhatten. With the opening of McDonald's, RWA students are usually found there grabbing a bite to eat. Some students spend their weekends at the lake skiing while others use their weekends for relaxing and watching tv. Many of the lower school students spend their time with their families or their friends. Mo matter how they spend them, most students live for the weekends, by Jan Murray All dressed up, Janet Spencer is on her way to Columbia to see the play Hamlet at Longstreet Theater on the USC campus.
