Student life As another year of school began, students found themselves having to readjust their schedules and tneir social lives around the seemingly in- evitable life: high school. Some students found it hard to face the fact that they could no longer sleep until noon or party after midnight on week niehts, while others took it all in stride. Early summer camps and workshops brought halftimers and other groups' vacation to an abrupt halt, as groups started as early as June, learning skills to prepare them for the fall. Football still ranked high on students' activity scale, and socializing con- tinued to be the favorite pastime. Inflation was once more a problem, as rising prices often left students empty- handed. But in spite of high costs, students somehow' found their way to the nearest shopping mall where they splurged on various luxuries and necessities. The tradition of mocking cafeteria food seemed alive and well, yet most students were usually seen with empty plates and trays that were once filled with the “dreaded” food. Some students “played it safe” as browm oag car- riers chose to bring their lunches from home to avoid long lines and high lunch prices. Discipline, tardies and the dress code were en- forced by strict rules. Students who decided not to abide by rules, found themselves faced with a choice between a paddling or in-house suspension. Group dating provided students w'ith yet another social event, while the hoopla and the financing of homecoming gave students a new headache. Demons such as homework and tests plagued students and jobs and other after scnool obligations made already busy schedules even busier. Skyline once again saw a healthy enrollment, as students from all parts of the city opted to attend one of the largest and best equipped schools in the nation. This fact gave students an inner sense of pride about themselves and the school alike, because in the end. students realized that they had all of this and more. Student life 9
