A student’s life does not be- gin and end in the school building. His classes, his classmates, his teachers, and his extra-curricular activities are all important aspects of his life. His free periods, spent in the cafeteria or in the li- brary, and his time spent with friends or by himself are equally important. But there is much more to a student’s life than school. A fraction of time is actually spent in the building. The ma- jority is spent at home or in the community, doing things other than schoolwork. What they wear, where they work, where and with whom they spend their weekends, is many times, foremost in their minds. International, national and local current events affect a student also. Daily conversa- tions are often filled with dis- cussions of professional sports or premiering movies. There is a growing awareness and interest in local and na- tional politics, policies, and problems. Concern about em- ployment and inflation in gen- eral are increasingly important to the high school students, as they are confronted with the rising costs of cars, insur- ance and tuition. These, and other factors, have been included in this section in an attempt to reveal as much of a Farmingdale High School student's life as possible. 4
