Senior Angela McGrew gets 'all wrapped up' in decorating the Christmas tree as jenni Penning, Senior, wonders why she acts this way. Mlgrlvlifwiwlusi A few Kindergartners take advantage of a little free time to color, or socialize, or just to sit and think. The After School SPECIAL RING!!! It's 3:14 and school is out! Kids race to their lockers and scramble to find their books. Some- one yells, What homework do we have? in an attempt to speed up their mission, destination? any- where! Often you can see a line of cars headed straight for Skinner's Quick Stop, refueling on cokes, chips, and candy bars can be vital to a teen's health. Everyone then cruises town before going home to crash in front of the T.V. set. If you're a dedicated athlete or organization member you might not get to leave immediately. All through the year there are practices for sports and various meetings to attend. This may cramp some peo- ple's style while it gives others something to do. Let's not forget about the work- ing class, who often go straight to work from school. They may miss out on the cruising, snacking, and napping their friends enjoy, they are earning some money. Most of the elementary kids do the same thing after school - ride the bus home. This provides extra time to visit with their friends or just forget about their homework for awhile. Whether it's work or play, every- one has something special they do school. I5 I!1flI!ll1lIDl!ElINl!T! MEI

Center: Charlotte Turner, junior, woke up too late to apply make- up - so study hall doubles as her bathroom. The One Act Play cast jokes around after returning from the district competition as winners. 9:15 PM was too late for some to be up! BETTER L TE THAN EARLY But Mr. Jones, I just couldn't get myself in gear this morning! I won't let it happen again! Does this sound familiar to anyone? Come on, admit it! Ei- ther you or someone you know has gone through this at one time or another. The excuses for tardiness range from My car just wouldn't start , to This is only my first offense! They seem to go down hill from there - so far down hill that - well, let's just say down hill. Although some kids do arrive to school late, some think it's more ap- propriate to get here at 7:30 A.M. Getting here EARLY is more impor- tant to some than sleep- ing. To others, sleeping is the most important thing in their lives. The students who are involved in various ac- tivities and organiza- tions put in long hard ffunj hours. The One Act Play and the Annual Staff put in countless Freshman, Larry Anderson panics as he realizes that his alarm didn't go off - what will his excuse be? numbers of hours per- fecting what they think is important. Sacrific- ing, holidays, weekends and late hours is just part of the game. The teachers also are ones who fall into the category of getting here early and staying here late. Some of the teach- ers get here as early as 7:15 and stay as late as 6:30-7:00 at night. From grading papers to pre- paring bulletin boards, they all have their rea- sons. Some come early and some stay late - and some feel it to be better late than early! Late! Early 17
