' tudents demand free tim The visitor found himself surrounded in the mad rush as the bell sounded throughout the halls of Salpointe Catho- lic High School at exactly 2:35 p.m. But this was no ordinary visitor. This visitor was on a quest, so to speak, to answer the all-important question - everyone knows what students do from 8:30 to 2:35, but what do they do for the other 18 hours of the day? For starters, the visitor followed a freshman. After stuffing every book that he owned into his backpack, this member of the class of '90 proceeded to Cherry Street to wait for his ride home. He did not have long to wait, since his mother soon pulled up with the music of KAIR blasting on the car radio. How embarrassing! When the freshman got home, he ate his afternoon snack while watching Eight is Enough, and then decided to hit the books. Later, his fa- What we do in our time off shows that Salpointe is one big community.

Then there was the dance - a chance to start a meaningful relationship with a high school woman. Next, the visitor investigated the sophomore. There were really two types of sophomores - those who didn't drive and those who did. The sopho- more who didn't drive basically led the same life as the freshman, except that he had to be extra nice to his parents so that he would be allowed to practice for his driving test on the family car. The sophomore who did drive made sure you knew it. She took her keys out of her purse halfway through sixth period and made sure to jingle them all the way to the car. Then came the junior, who could be found almost anywhere in his time off, from the Picnic Place to McDonald's, or maybe even to working at a part-time job. The junior arrived late and left early at games, and finally learned Qafter two yearsl that his chancesof establishing a meaningful relationship at a school dance were not too great fespecially with Fr.

Finally, the visitor decided to follow the senior. lt was not too easy, however, since the senior really didn't know where he was going. First Round Table, then the game, then one party, then another. Just watching the senior made the visitor tired, so he started home. But he did come to the conclusion that there is a lot more to the Salpointe student than what can be seen at school. What they did in their time off showed who they really were. Now you know what the visitor saw, but how did you see it? What did Sal- pointe students do in their time off? Spend time with my boyfriend. - Lisa Van Ert. '87. Sleep. - Kim Smith, '88. Go to parties and try to forget about school. - Noel Byczek, '87, Watch 'The Love Boat' with my best friend. - Karise Allen. '87, Go to games and then do something afterwards. - Matt Van Ert, '90. Shop and talking on the phone. - Zelda Zyler, '89. What do these activities say about Salpointe students? We are very well-rounded. We can study all week but still live it up in our time off, - Lynn Blair, '88. Everyone at Salpointe is unique. Some people work, some shop, some party, etc. The important thing is we all know how to have fun. - Deena Giebner. '88. lt shows that Salpointe is one big community. People go out in one big group. - Jeff Schultz, '88. Everyone at Salpointe has the same basic need to have fun in their time off so that they don't go crazy from doing homework all the time! - an anony- mous freshman. For a visitor to get to know the Sal- pointe student and community as a whole, he must look at how they spend their TIME OFF. After all, without our TIME OFF, what would we be?' Everyone has the same ba- sic need to have fun so that they don't go crazy from do- ing homework all the time. 20 EVENTS 8 ORGANIZATIONS

'COUNCIL OFT ELDERS T ouncil shines in '86 ln sports, it is important to have team captains who are looked up to by fellow athletes for help and support. The job of a captain is to keep the team together and fired up. ln the same way, a school needs leaders to make sure that every- thing is going the way it should. At Sal- pointe, that role is filled by the Student Council. Although it isn't often talked about, students had a great deal of respect for their government. According to Lisa Lawrence, '90, the Student Council is looked up to by the entire school. Vince Bianchi, '87, expressed similar views. The 1986-'87 council members They worked hard this year. consisted of some very ingenious and enthusiastic people.

As far as fundraising went, the Student Coun- cil started the year off with dances after the home football games, and followed that up with selling plastic cups with the Lancer logo on it. Another new idea the Council implemented was that of homeroom representatives who attend- ed the more important Council meet- ings. Every school has leaders, but not all schools were lucky enough to have those as respected, energetic, and inno- vative as SaIpointe's 1987-'87 Student Council. '60 , vis
