A place where students can grow socially as well as mentally, school is a mixture of books and friends, tests and dances, classes and clubs. Students are mixtures, part scholar and part socialite. There are vary- ing degrees of each. Some study to the maximum, others not at all. Most have found a happy medium, though, and are part socialite, part scholar. Why? In recent years young people have experienced a grow- ing amount of freedom. They have more money and more ways to spend it. The temptations of parties, dates and just plain goofing off are as strong as ever and students are turning to social activities in place of school work. In the last few years school officials have tried to update curriculum to draw the students' interest back to school, but the academic side of school is still lagging far behind the social side and is still falling back. 1 Mr. Ewing uses facial expression to empha- size a point in Economics. 2 Utilizing the library for homework, Mike Moss, lohn Hanski and Steve Harris study on. 3 Ken Yahrmatter, Kim Kolodziejski and Tom Bergen concentrate on an English as- signment.
