Youth groups met in various places such as the beach, a local hangout, or the movies where the atmosphere is more relaxed. W V ff 4 a- , -fw My - ,gt 9-f 4' 'S' , , We role in students' lives Some people believe in going to church every Sunday, but when a high school student goes, the decision usual- ly isn't his own. In a survey of Thornwood sophomores, reasons given for not going to church included no interest, no means of transportation, or just plain laziness, One student replied, After a very busy Week of school and Work, Sunday is the only morning to catch up on my sleep! Most people surveyed said they attended church at least once a month. Many also stated that although they had been going to church from the time they were in- fants, they have just begun to pay attention and to un- derstand the meaning and teachings of their religion. Church youth groups help make religious studies more enjoyable, and add fun to their social lives as well. How- ever, not all church youth groups stress religious stud- ies. A member of the youth group at St. Victor's said, Our group doesn't pound religion into your head. They simply provide organized activities, like skiing or rol- lerskating, and an environment which lets you find reli- gion for yourself. Another student feels that Church is more interesting when you can get involved in the different aspects of it, just like school is more interesting when you join extracurricular activities. Of the sophomores surveyed over 90 percent felt that the worst aspect of church was not giving up sleep on Sunday morning nor listening to sermons that seemed to take forever, but having to sit with their families while other friends sat by themselves.

Numerous acts of destruction have destroyed parts of Thorn- Ilood this year. One incident of vandalism happened in the boys' athroom when the stalls were ripped right off the wall. Toilet paper hanging from trees, slashed tires, broken windows, and smashed eggs have become the results of students' boredom. Many students like to go out and think of something exciting to do, but this sometimes leads to vandalism. Vandalizing seems to be a popular pastime for many students at Thornwood, and a serious growing problem in numerous communities. Halloween appears to be the most infamous night for these destructive actions, but acts of vandalism occur all year round. lt's fun, ex- plained one sophomore girl. It's also a good way to get back at people, she added. It may seem like fun and a good way for revenge, but it costs millions of dollars each year to clean up and repair the damages. One incident of vandalism occurred at Thornwood in 1979 when the Thunderbird marquee was mysteriously burned one evening. For the students who raised money for the marquee it was a traumatic experience. Unfortu- nately the culprits were never found and revengeful acts of vandalism increased in the area. Unfortunately, many vandals go unpunished and cause many innocent community members unnecessary heartache. If someone is caught, the consequences can be serious. Parents can actually be held responsible and one may also be given a police record. One student summed it up by saying, Vandalism is a waste of time and innocent people are often hurt the most.
