For some students, these things represented jobs they could enjoy and a reliable source of funds for their weekends at the same time. Junior Garth Dolphin got his job at lowa State University studying in- sects for a project in his biology class. Working at ISU, | don t have to do alot, Dolphin said. “I sort and hatch mosquitoes. Its interesting and, believe it or not, | really enjoy it. Junior Andy Scott worked at Mi- chael's Cyclery and felt that the be- nefits and discounts, as well as the additional biking knowledge he learned were definite assets of his Job. | ike to race and | do a lot with my bike so the discounts are very helpful, Scott said.

It also helped in preparing them for later life. | work at Bagel Works in cam- pus town and I'm the only high school student that works there,’ ju- nior Heather Jesse said. ‘It's great — | like working with and meeting the college students. It's also taught me a lot about college life. The nostalgic atmosphere of Ruttles 50's Grill brought waitress senior Jessica Gowdy more than just a bi-weekly pay check from her job. Its kind of neat when older people come in and joke with me about how it used to be, Gowdy said. ‘They re always telling me how the food should be cooked and what music we should play. ` Many students kept their future in mind and searched for jobs which related to their career goals.

Part of the job included deliv- ering balloons dressed as either a clown or gorilla and publicly singing Happy Birthday’ to complete strangers. Her job provided a lot of fun experiences and interest- ing memories for her to look back on. Most of the time the other per- son Is way more embarrassed than | am,” Stidwell said. ‘ ‘One time | had to deliver balloons to a topless danc- er; | was definitely more embarras- sed in that case!

B -junior fett Dale d 1 | T | | | GE سک س‎ -Bryan Schabel sure a school sport could be great for the ol’ bod . . . but often stu- dents weren't interested in the sports the school offered, or being seen in shorts and t-shirts. These people chose recreational activities away from the school's teams to tighten their buns or just for fun. “I've been ice skating since | was seven years old, senior Annie Weltha said. “I go with my friends — its good exercise and a great way to meet guys. Aerobics was also a common weapon against excess bodily di- mensions. Students who chose to do this either joined a local fitness club or went home to bounce around in front of their tube. At home, | can exercise pri- vately to my aerobics tapes or to a television show that might be on ESPN,’ sophomore Missy Thomas said. “It gets off the excess flab on my arms, inner thighs; it's great for the stomach and it's fun!’ Some sports weren't offered by the schools athletic department. Maria arts were activities many students participated in. Sophomore Nicole Praty took Tai-Kwon-Do lessons at The Ames Racquet Club.

'It's good practice for the tour- naments | enter. My greatest finish was in the Mother-Son National Tournament — we took 14th.” A lot of students got together with some of their friends and played games on their own time non-competitively. We played softball all summer long at 4:00 every Sunday,” senior Ben Klaas said. None of us really had much to do, so we always had a good turn-out. It was a lot of fun because we played on a little league field which translated into a lot of home runs. Often athletes didn't end their season when the school team s sea- son had ended. They continued to play with friends on their own team, or work out at the gym by them- selves for their sport. | lift for volleyball and basket- ball. Im not quite as wimpy on the court now,” freshman Megan Miller Said. | dont do it for the guys Jumping Around Many students got physical on their own fime though — they usually don't like girls who are stronger than they are. Some tried to improve their ap: pearance, as well as their game, by working outside of the season. ` | play pick-up basketball games at State and Beyer to take off some of my extra weight, junior Jeff Dale said. There's really ng way l improve, but it is good for the off season. | AAU (Amateur Athletic Union)? teams also provided ways to im-$ prove individual playing and team-$ work. “AAU basketball helps my yS game a lot, freshman Mark Mem an said. The school team's top 1331 go around the state and play tourna: j ments. It's great for our teamwork. Whether school related or not, many students took action in gettinc their bodies fit — Ames High, in re- sult, had a great student body. |. the weight room, senior Kartik Athreya works out for any power-lifting competitions he might enter around the state.
