Students at Sterling gladly made these and more commitments to become involved. “I like to see the kids doing more than just coming to school; getting involved in the out- of-class activities is what learning is all about, said Principal Ed Wachtel. One such activity was the Student Council work-on program, according to Kay Richarason. ‘The system is for people who want to work with the student government but aren't elected. To be a part of the program, students merely participated in the required council activities. We couldn't have done it without them. stated Debbie Starnes concerning the boys who helped in the production of the Stars’ an- nual Star Galaxy. The guys were super, and without them to help 1 don't see how we could have done it.” A different aspect of getting involved was the People Involved in Education program, in- itiated to get adult volunteers to act as tutors. They were summoned together through surveys sent out in the spring. 24 gelling Involved

Never. was the reaction of a majority of Sterling students. With expenses such as clothes, car up-keep and other luxuries most teenagers’ funds run out long before they anticipate. Those with part-time jobs usually manage to make ends meet; many must depend on Mom and Dad for spending money, thus limiting budgets substantially. However, those who manage to keep up their school work and hold a part-time job simultaneously are rewarded when the weekend rolls around. Students who can afford to do so put on their favorite pair of Levi’s (some prefer Calvin Klein) and take off by the carload, determined to enjoy the two-day weekly holiday as fully as possible. Friends usually band together, finding that two or three can cruise cheaper than one and have more fun in the bargain. The weekend means something different to everyone. Dating is always close to the top of the list, along with eating out, movies, being with friends, or the Stomp on Saturday nights. Regardless of the preference, weekends in Baytown seldom go uneventful as individuals find their own ways to make the scene. working for the weekend |ano Watuskl and friendi try and all agree on what to do and where to go
