Olmos answered questions from students and gave suggestions on how they could be successful in life. His main point was to choose a goal and work at it 7 days a week. Olmos also hosted a TV special on the hispanic dropout rate on Channel 36.

what adfeeling Q How important is a student's social life in comparison to their performance in the classroom? :ig BUILT ON SUCCESS The social aspects of high school were sometimes the most remembered. During the year, however, the controversy over whether or not the school district had the right to get involved with late night private student parties often led to heated arguments. On the lighter side, and often times, a day in the life of a student involved school, part-time jobs, and homework. I work at least four times a week. I usually go right after practice to work at Scarbroughsu junior Michelle McAllister said, staying a number of hours every week after school for cheerleader practice. Usually the social life of a student meant the perpetual cycle of going to school five days a week, leaving the weekends for an occasional football or basketball game in front of the TV and then returning to school on Monday. fe, .N M , an ff -. . ,,.. , , ,, .

Friends are the best part of being at school any- way! -Shawn Bean 1111 I think if a student has a good time away from school, then he or she will make the class fun and make good enough grades. -Richard Velas- quez Q91 lt's like comparing ap- ples to oranges. They're two different things and you can't really say one's more important than the other. -Cyn- thia Hays QFJ Student Life By Travis Waid
