Students help students in ‘own world’ ▲ Football games are by far the most popular forms of school-oriented entertainment, as evidenced by this healthy crowd at the first game against Garland. Photo by )udy Babb. A world of our own. Whether mak- ing Homecoming mums, giving students hairdos, making plastic pro- ducts, making clothes for students or maintaining cars and televisions, Skyline students were in a world of their own. Buying and selling things that usually could be done only in the ‘‘real world,” students spent a good part of their school time making products. But clusters weren’t the only way students were set apart from the com- munity. One disadvantage of going to Skyline was the lack of school- orfented social life, since students came from all over Dallas. After foot- ball season was over, new forms of entertainment had to be developed for students to keep a school identity. Holding plays, musicals and sports games students were offered alter- natives to the same old Friday and Saturday night movie. 6 Opening
