Classical Examples Participating in extracurricular ac- tivities often meant extra work and sometimes a lack of sleep. As every- one knew, the band. Brigadiers, foot- ball players, cheerleaders, and the R.O.T.C practiced after the 3 o’clock bell through football season, and the rest of the year. “Brig prac- tice isn’t easy, but the good times and great memories really make me proud to be a Brigadier.” replied sophomore Kris Simmons. “The practices were hard, but they paid off at half time on Friday night games,” commented Angela Taylor, senior drum major. Extracurricular activities not al- ways meant playing an instrument or having a skill, it also meant joining in and helping with community pro- jects. Lori O’Hagen remarked, “Be- ing a member of the Future Farmers of America means more to the stu- dent that spends their after school hours memorizing speeches or taking care of sick animals. Even through all the hardships and practices, most students found that participating in these extra activities turned out to be very rewarding. Senior cheerleader, Patrice Horn- berger, replied, “I love cheerleading even though it’s a lot of work. Prac- ticing jit ter school for all of our differ- ent activities definitely paid off.” “It's the extra things you do in life that get you where you want to go , and believe me, football practice is extra, stated Coach David Smith.

Classical Class Clowns Robert E. Lee High School enter- tainment includes the conduct of class clowns. There are many fans of these clowns, simply because the tend to bring a ray of fun and laugh- ter into the classroom. Allyson Thomas commented, “I think that they are just trying to put life into the school, and have fun doing it. Some people just have that sense of hu- mor. Without class clowns, school would be boring.” “The students who do these wild and crazy things are a spark of light, but the ones who go beyond the limit should be calmed down, stated Coach Jerry Schima. Lamont Brown replied, “I use to have that same problem. All I want- ed to do was make people laugh and have fun. It brought attention to me. and made me feel good,” Laughs, attention, and stares are some of the things that class clowns receive for putting themselves on the spot. However, some students felt that the disruption from the clowns was very annoying and pulled away from their studies. “Personally, I think that the teachers should be more strict on the students who mis- behave and never do their work,” commented Michelle Richards. “I don’t really care too much for class clowns because they are just trying to get attention. When someone has to go to those extremes, they need the attention!” stated JoJo Edwards In class or out of class; all the same Ann SouIkh warned Craig Van Winkle H you pop that balloon. 1 11 pop you!
