he energies of stu- f A dents are not all spent on school, sports, and activities. One must remem­ ber that students HAVE A LIFE outside of CBA. From working, to partying to relaxing stu­ dents are always wrapped up in their own lives. In the eyes of the faculty and administra­ tion, student life is and should be an oxymoron, except may­ be on weekends. The truth is unavoidable though. Each stu­ dent is involved in other things every day of the year. Some students become completely different outside of CBA. Chris Denton for instance; one would never suspect that he is a jazz singer. Junior Ellen McMahon takes horseback riding les­ sons. A lot of students at CBA do this activity. Students’ per­ sonal activities range from skiing to swimming to bicycle
touring to mountain climbing.

Some of the aspects of stu­ dent life are less wondrous. Many work long and hard to save money for college. Stu­ dents watch movies and tele­ vision shows. Many students have fallen prey to worse af­ flictions of modern man — soap operas. The popular show is Beverly Hills 90210. Other students engage in healthier activities such as chess, read­ ing partying, etc.
The lives of students are complicated but generally happy lives. In and outside the Christian Brothers Academy walls, the students are individ­ uals who experience and en­ compass far more than just high school.
