Airborne on the court in an after-school match, Kim Taylor returns a rocketing shot from her play- ing partner. Bringing welcome relief — in the form of a few new records — to students, an unknown jukebox worker makes some changes in a quiet after- school commons area. 24 After School 4 Instead of going home on while and a whole lot of after-school time to achieve. Not everyone devoted their after- school hours to school. Many students had jobs where they worked afternoons and evenings, along with their schoolwork. Sometimes juggling classwork and a job made those after- school hours a tough load. When students weren’t working in some form, there was always a little after-school fun. Some students went shopping; others took in early movies or a drive before going home. A few soap opera devotees rushed straight home to catch a few minutes of their idols on “General Hospital” or “The Edge of Night,” and to gaze at Jeff Webber or Miles Cavanaugh. After-school hours weren't dead moments caught between the end of the school day and bedtime; they were often the best times of the day.

The easy way out Anyone ever caught in a long, boring day knew the only way out of the grind was to get out of class. Some days getting out of class was easy; the cheerleaders saved the day with a pep rally or someone broke the monotony with an assembly. From screaming stu- dent crowds to clowning faculty rein- deer, tired students found an occasional much-needed break. Some students didn’t mean to miss class, but somehow managed to skip out just the same. The Second Brigade and SODA partners were always ex- pected to miss a little time. FFA, FBLA, and DECA members found Club Day to be another routine-breaker in the monthly schedule. When all else failed, there was the old “try anything to get out of class” ap- proach. Students begged their way to lockers or bathrooms for a few minutes reprieve from class. Others didn’t have to beg — they were asked to leave by harassed teachers. After all, everyone — even teachers — needed a break sometime. : cod A Santa’s not-so-ordinary reindeer, faculty mem- bers Mr. Glenn Reichard, Mr. Ray Wade, Mr. Michael Bennett, and Santa himself, Mr. Earl Murray, dash away to the student body’s delight at the Christmas assembly. 26 Getting Out of Class Caught off guard by the supnene October snowstorm, Mr. Marshall Tumer hurries from his mechanical drawing class to the commons area.
