Chuck Rimer and Lisa Turley talk during AC-AD-IM-Y period Cabovej. An unlikely storyline, one rock star, one highly acclaimed actress, and one storybook romance helped General Hospital become the most-watched daytime show in history. With 14 mil- lion viewers across the country and a vast majority of students at Air Acade- my following its plot, General Hospital became more than just a soap opera. Students rejoiced at Luke and Lau- ra's wedding, gasped at Scotty's reap- pearance, and swooned over Scorpio's sexy accent. Would Port Charles freeze? Would Cassadine be stopped? Students who were lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the show now and then were swamped with questions from other less-fortunate students. As a special treat to the student body, the wedding of Luke and Laura was videotaped and played to an au- dience of mostly girls, but also a few teachers and boys, during lunch hours. Charles and Diana never looked so good. 1 15 Student Life

114 The Best Of Times Are Better Dating is very much a part of high school life. Cheering for a boyfriend on the football team, holding hands in the hall, and saving Friday night for that special person can be very important and exciting times. But not all couples shared this common boy-girl relationship. With 4,000 men just a few miles away from the school grounds, it was common for high school girls to date these future officers. But what makes a girl want to date a zoomie ? A Va- por Trails questionnaire asked that of Air Academy's girls, and some of the answers were: They have nice cars! , They are all so polite, mature, and intelligent, They seem so grown up, and They have a future. One senior girl said she would actually prefer to date a boy from Air Academy, but that no one ever asked her out. As a result, she started to date a senior at the Academy. Another girl, a sopho- more, said she would enjoy dat- ing cadets, but that once you date one, you get a reputation. High school guys don't like cadets so you can really sign off once you start to date any of them. A lot of girls are tired of the same old thing and 1,000 new doolies each year can certainly add vari- ery. Many cadets attended Kadet football games and girls got a chance to meet and get to know many of them at such school ac- tivities. ln a Vapor Trails questionnaire, many girls said they wanted to look like Lady Diana Spencer.

AC-AD-IM-Y and Assembly per- iods were more or less a recess for high schoolers. With a tiring school day, this time came as a relief for everyone, but it was usually the busiest period of the day. Meetings with advisors, coun- selors, clubs, and classes held top priority. There were also concerts, movies, assemblies and intramu- ral sports. Students gathered in the courtyard and cafeterias to talk about the latest news, catch up on homework, and get in ex- tra studying. The Kadet Store pro- vided snacks and cool drinks to hold students until lunch. AC-AD- lM-Y period also gave students a chance just to be together. Assembly period was a time to show Kadet teams how much stu- dents appreciated them. This was done in the form of pep assem- blies which included class compe- titions and spiritleoders' routines. Everyone needed a break from closstime, even the invincible Ka- det Krew. How Do You Spell Relief? Taking advantage ofa quiet moment in D Building, Beth Hamel and Dave Hensel enjoy time alone together during AC-AD-IM-Y period Ctopb. Pep assemblies helped to get students as well as players psyched for football games. Student Council members Shannon Seagraves and Jenny Williams hold up a poster for good luck, and although the team didn't waste Fairview, they did manage to beat them 3-O Cabovel.
