Academics, of course, are a necessary part of a stu- dent's day. Although most would be reluctant to admit it, almost everyone is able to find at least one class that he or she enjoys in the cur- riculum. This year changes such as the addition of Chinese language and As- cent of Man courses improved the cur- riculum even more. But perhaps mak- ing even bigger impressions on a stu- dent's life are the school-sponsored events throughout the year. For in- stance, memories of this year's stun- ning performances of The Odd Couple, and Guys and Dolls or the Shady Side Academy Awards-Prom '88 will linger in the minds of students for a long time. As well as classes and events, club or- ganizations also play a role in a stu- dent's life, whether it be a minor one, such as sponsoring a violation day or one of the year's many blow pop sales, or a major one, such as the long hours of work put in by the yearbook or newspaper staffs or choir or ensemble members. And last but certainly not least, for the students belonging to Shady Side's small but strong board- ing community, the dorm plays an ex- tremely influential role in a student's life. Clearly, a lot goes on in a Shady Side student's life. Student Life Divider 17 i 1
