The more they stay the same Student life: what kids do outside of class and school organizations. Of course, each individual is different, but generally the life of today’s student away from school consists of games, dances, dating, and being with friends. But is this different from teenlife of the past — our parents, for instance? Granted, today’s high school students don’t look or sound much like those of previous years. Styles and slang have changed constantly since the creation of man, and it is safe to assume that they will continue to change. Attitudes are also different. Many students today live by the new morality.” They tend to question their parents’ materialistic society and are more critical of politics and government. Perhaps the most common plight among students is the constant need for money: money to see a movie, money for a dance, and money for an athletic event. Guys specifically are hard hit for cash. The search for part time jobs becomes inevitable. Students planning to support themselves through college especially need jobs. Many, particularly the underclassmen, do not hold jobs because their free time is filled with other activities. Athletic events play a major role in the student’s life. “Everyone” goes, either for social acceptance or for genuine interest in the sport. Dances after the games are heavily patronized partially because they are inexpensive. Movies are still popular, yet the cost per person has risen from $2.00 to $3.50, often discouraging the avid movie-goer. Fifty cents got our parents in, but fifty cents today won’t even buy a box of popcorn. Students today still enjoy going to the “passion pits” of yesterday (drive-in theaters). Although students haven’t changed much, their method of expressing beliefs are more open and direct than those of their parents. Students' ideas for “kicks” haven’t changed much, either. Whereas yesterday’s student used to swallow goldfish and cram into telephone booths, today’s student streaks” at social events. Neither have hobbies altered much with time. Although music has changed, album collections remain a student favorite — yesterday’s student, Frankie Avalon — today’s student, Elton John. Books, (classics, too), are still read by students of both generations. Most kids have a hobby or special interest that occupies spare time. Cars are one example; many students like tinkering with engines or just reading auto magazines and fantasizing about “dream cars.” But this is nothing new. People have been fascinated by cars since the turn of the century. Clothes and fashion trends resemble those of our parents; saddle shoes, scarves, bobbed haircuts, knee-length hems, and straight legged Levis were all a part of the “fashion fair” of yesterday, too. Our generation, like each before it, tends to consider itself unique in ideas and actions. Yet our interests haven’t changed greatly from our parents’ or even grandparents’. Each generation lives in its own era with its own pleasures and problems. As Talleyrand once observed, “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Barbara Piper Catherine Slisher
