There is o great deal of pressure put on us to keep up our grades. We need certain diversions to keep us from going insane. There ore o million things we con do. Everyone has their own method of coping with the stress. I Football gomes were, of course, a great outlet for our anxieties. The preceeding pep rallies offered o greot opportunity to scream away some of our frustrations. The gomes were the perfect place for socializing and school spirit. If was this very spirit that bonded us together os we helped each other handle the pressures of everyday school life. As if school wasn ' t enough, many people held jobs during the school year. Teachers were very sympathetic toward excuses concerning jobs. ’T couldn ' t do my homework Mrs. Johnson, I worked until midnight.” No way! Clubs, shows, and other after school activities were oil a port of our hustling, bustling, never-boring high school life. All of your friends could be seen at a donee on Friday night or in line of the local theater or ot a neighborhood restaurant featuring good food and video games. If we managed to hock the pressures of the school year, we hod to admit we had a good time. Even though we almost died because we forgot our four-grode Chemistry project, or we neglected to study for a major test, we enjoyed ourselves. Throughout it all we said, This is what high school life is all about.” The pains, the joys, the fr iends, the failures: oil these created momenrs of memory which we will always remember. Teochers ond rests may be forgotten, but the memory of Wood- bridge High School will live on.
