Stud Behind every book number, locker number and library number, there is a student. And behind every student, there is a life at once very far removed from and very dependent upon life at school. For many students, school is a duty grudgingly fulfilled in order to get to the more important matters of parties, friends and having a good time. School days are counted and suffered through until Friday afternoon when all thoughts of academics are shoved aside for the frantic, concentrated unwinding of the weekend. ' My whole life, explained senior Karen Patchett unhesitatingly. I mean it feelsj like I'm at school all the time. 0 1 Despite efforts to escape for ag short time, a student's social life' will never be totally distinct from school life. As an activity that can take up as much as 5095 of one's waking moments, there simply isn't enough time to develop a social life entirely' independent from school. Friends, parties, dates and dances often must begin in the school for the sake of time . . . if nothing else. I really feel that school plays a big part of my social life. After all that's where I meet my friends, said Sophomore Stacy Brown. But just as school is a great in- fluence on social life, social life is a large part of school. More is learned in the classroom than how to spell the names of 'obscure historical figures. Just as impor- tant are the social lessons being learned everyday in halls, in the classrooms, in the cafeteria and in the gym. How to work with others, how to be a friend, how to get along with different types of people are lessons that will be us- ed for the rest of one's life. - Melissa Hartman Students cool off working at a car wash on a hot summer day.
