Hal- ford C) tudent life Students time filled with school, friends After a summer filled with jobs, camps, parties, working and relaxing, the student body returned to a new and tougher life. New policies and stricter standards meant added pressures. The scale tip- ped to one side as academics seemed to outweigh extracurricular activities, work and socializing to such a degree that students realized how hard it would be to keep everything in balance. The struggle became a part of their daily existance. Yet, life went on. Stu- dents found ways to express themselves with bright clothes and new hairstyles as a new concept- “radically”- took shape. It was “in” to be different. Though school and jobs weighed heavy, recreational activities did not cease to occur. Parties took place during the year as students also found time to gather at such hangouts as MacDonalds and the Everglade parking lot. Overall, students struggled to maintain their expected grades. They knew life was tough, but they also knew it was not over. Life meant balancing their time between exceeding in their expectations and enjoying their re- wards. ndex-------------------------------------- Guzick story.....16 Radicalilty .....28 Lights Out.......18 Favorite Dance...40 Homecoming.......22 Student Life 7
