“Teachers give too much homework.” . . . Nick Malapestas (soph.) “Detentions are useless because they are a waste of time for everyone involved.” . . . John Neel (soph.) “Who wants to watch t.v. when we could be do¬ ing homework.” . . . Cindy Terwilliger (sr.) “There are alot.of differ¬ ent activities that anyone can join. That’s what makes this school tick.” . . . Beth Rittenband (sr.) “Dententions are un¬ called for because they don’t teach any sort of lesson.” . . . Melissa Garvey (jr.) Life After School The time; 1:52, the bell rings and life once again fills the halls of South Windsor High School. Freshmen and Sophomores run for the near¬ est exits while Juniors and Se¬ niors calmly stride to their lockers because they have driven to school. Then there are those who stay after school for various reasons. All the athletic peo¬ ple head for the locker rooms to change for their appropri¬ ate sports; some for soccer, some for football, some for volleyball, and yet others for cross country. Students with musical and acting talents strive for greatness in the au¬ ditorium. Struggling and or problem students trudge along for extra help or the dreaded detention! Outside awaits the yellow mass of steel which provides transportation for many stu¬ dents. Groups of people fill the busses’ walkways; smok¬ ers, radio-listeners, and peo¬ ple who are just trying to get the back seat of the bus. The student parking lot, like in the morning, comes to life. Peo¬ ple, desperately rushing to get out, cause more delays. Once free of the school’s boundaries, decisions have to be made. What will people do for the rest of the day? Some go to work at places like Cal- dors, McDonald’s or Deals: jobs that they work hard at and never get enough pay for the work they do. On the oth¬ er hand, some get together with their friends and just hang out. Those without friends, or friends who are busy, go home and watch t.v.: soap operas, games shows, and yes, even cartoons. If nothing good is on t.v., sleep is always a possibility. If all else fails, if there is absolutely nothing left to do . . . DO YOUR HOMEWORK!!! Chris Thomas, Dana Koenig, Mike Sladyk and Margie Callan rehearse a scene in the fall pro- Huction of “Tom Jones”. introduction Wendy Wetherell chats on the phone while preparing to cheer on the Bobcats.
