Re-member-ing Making time Taking part Participating in extra-curricular often took two basic things: a photographic memory and plenty of gas. Getting involved could be fun. but it also meant extra work and sometimes a lack of sleep. The hardest part was remembering which dub did which activity on which day.' commented Stact Jones (12). Sports, dubs, and organizations all did their part in making sure that teenagers' busy schedules were filled to the hilt. Being a member also meant paying your dues, either in terms of money, time, or both. “Some- times I wondered if all of those fund-raising pro- jects were really worth it. commented Steven Le- Vay (11). Hans Kleinschmidt added. Service clubs give you the chance to meet new people in your school and to help the community improve. Sherry Wallace (12). asked if it was really worth all of the trouble, summed it up. Yeah, it was worth it just so we could say we were a member to put it on job and college applications.
