STUDENT LIFE @ STUDENT LIFE @ STUDENT EEE Want to know what to give a student for Christmas? Try a package of time. High school students who get involved in school are busier than they have ever been. Aside from tackling all of the academic activities, many are in- volved in extra-curricular activities. With the array of clubs, sports, and fun events, many students find themselves interested in so many things that they often do not have time to do everything that they would like to do. Yet students always seem to find time to enjoy the fun events at schoo: such as T.D. day. Clubs and organiza- tions worked hard to make this day a success and the general feeling was that it was fantastic! The homecoming dance was another enjoyable activity that was well attended. The Prom is the important dance though, and the juniors worked to earn money for it at the beginning of the year by selling magazines. Fun is not all that is involved in a stu- dent’s life though. Many students work after school and on weekends. Other students that are under age for employment find plenty of work associated with clubs. Many clubs such as the Key Club, Keyettes, Hi-Y, and Tri-Hi-Y require participation in many community activities. Work and play are in a student’s life and they make the student very busy.
