Boredom Beaters The average high school student spent about 35 hours in class a week, 10 hours preparing for classes, and 56 hours sleeping. The remaining some-odd 67 hours were spent as spare time. Some students liked to eat such things as French fries, pizzas, dip and chips, and hamburgers when they had the time. Frequent after school trips to the Pizza Hut, Sonic, or Kountry Kitchen were made for the sole purpose of munching out . Others found that reading a good book, which could have ranged from a mystery to a romance, was a good way to spend a quiet afternoon. A. C. Nielson estimated that the average teen watched 22 hours of television per week. The Olympics and new shows such as Trapper John, M.D. and Real People re- lieved boredom for some. Even on muddy days these students play football to relieve their boredom. Lounging in a comfortable chair, Kelli Mulhollen finds that reading a good book is her remedy for beating boredom.
