They say a friend in need is I a friend indeed. To see | just what this means, stroll across campus to find someone engrossed in demonstrating the uses of differential equations to a friend even though she feels like she’s explained it fifty-nine times. Or peep into the quad to see a guy buy a Coke so that his friend on crutches won’t have to get up. Good deeds aren't always life- or-death feats. Many people sim- ply expressed gratitude for the support of their friends. For example, junior Darcie Palmer said of her best friend Tris- tine Anderson, “She has always been there for me, and I don't know what I'd do without her friendship! Mr. Sheehy really helped me get through Moby-Dick,” claimed senior Suzanne Nelson. If he hadn't made the class so much fun, 1 would have thrown Ishmael overboard! A good number of students also | manage to help others outside of school. Junior Shim Patel, who | volunteers at Santa Teresa Hospi- tal. said, Helping others gives me J a good feeling. It makes me feel like I've really accomplished something. There are many Good Samari- tans hiding behind the bushes at j S.T., so take a moment to find the saint in every Saint. By Terri Lirj

rp he Interest Rate Goes Up Activities, parties, clubs, or just plain old fun, students were more involved than ever. Part of this rising interest was because more students stayed at school for sixth period, and were able to attend or participate in afterschool activi- ties. Few kids could remember a time when there was no E or Open period, yet due to the small- er population, two hundred students less, E period was cut out. The limited number of 7:15 classes re- sulted in more sixth period classes, after which, most events were held, including club activities and sports. For example, the varsity football did the best it has ever done in the four- teen year life on the school, attract- ing record crowds to both away and home games. Getting up later in the morning can also mean later curfews for some, which was perfect for the opening up of new dance clubs for the sixteen to twenty-one age brack- et. Clubs such as Moonlighting and Club X provided great places to go on Friday and Saturday nights. Of course, also attributing to the climbing interest was the spirit of the students themselves. An over- whelming amount of the students participated in Homecoming festivi- ties, and had a great time doing so. By Suzanne Nelson. ( Student Life
