High school is an inevitable part of everyone’s life. Although it is a lot of work, there are plenty of activities to releive the difficulty of school. For the athletic students, there are sports offered in high school that aren’t offered in middle school. They enjoy many sports, such as football, wrestling, basketball, cross country, tennis, and soccer. Juniors Amanda Daffron and Brian Daughtery take a break at the junior class soc hop. Many girls take advantage of the wide range of sports that are offered to them. Athletic organizations like tennis, cheerleading, and soccer tend to have a high number of girls trying out. There are numerous clubs that cater to the tastes of different people. The drama club and forensics club help students who are interested in acting. There are clubs which are dedicated to ex- panding the students’ interest in the foreign languages like the French, Latin, and Spanish Clubs. The Reflector, Squire, and Muckraker are good clubs for students to join if they are interested in journalism. Clubs that deal with challenging minds, the Science and Computer Clubs, and the Battle of the Brains, are very popular among the student body. A great number of students have developed a musical interest in chorus, band, or orchestra by the time they get to high school. Once they are in high school, they have the chance to continue their musical ability. But best of all, students gain much more freedom than they have had in the past when they become high school students. During the sophomore year, students are able to take Driver’s Education and behind the wheel. After completing this course, students receive their long awaited driver’s license and keys to a car. With keys in hand, students are now able to go on a real date with their sweet- heart and not to worry about their parents driving them. So to the student who believes that high school is nothing but homework and exams, it’s not true. Proud senior Kyle Fornash shows his spirit by wearing his spirit shorts. Student Life Divider
