Student Life

The Black and Gold 1975


 To many students, student life exemplified individual wants, creativity and social activities which made school more enjoyable for all. The definition of student life was just that--the life a student lived at school.

 Getting involved in the various school activities such as Homecoming, football games, proms, assemblies and the carnival meant becoming a part of McKinley's ever changing panorama and having fun at the same time.

 People came together--working, laughing, and making friends. Doing their own thing, whether it was expressing themselves or just spectating at one of these activities outlined their life at McKinley. They were welcome changes from the long 106 minutes of teacher instruction and the short 42 minutes for the midday lunchbreak. They could leave school early or spend their free time mingling with others.

 Being involved in these events yielded unforgettable reflections and experiences for all, a part of the everyday student life at McKinley.
