Body Contortions. Meditation Characteristics of Ancient Yoga Unusual hobbies occupied the free hours of many Jackson students. Along with the more common pastimes of reading, watching T.V. and rock collecting, yoga classes attracted those who wished to learn more about the ancient philosophy and meditation. Others merely joined for the sake of exercise. The occult sci- ences mystified junior astrologers who plotted their natal charts, and believers in reincarna- tion delved into past lives. Knitting and crocheting baskets were seen in the classrooms as girls caught up on their needlework during movies and discussions. Em- broidery too was revived and various peace signs, monograms, and flowers adorned blue jeans and shirts. In order to keep up with the latest fashion without damaging bank accounts, girls sewed their own clothes. Many made their boyfriends wide silk ties for Christmas. Antique collections sent buffs digging through second-hand stores, most notably Thieves Market, in search of special finds. Rec- ord collections ran into hundreds of albums, with music fanatics spending hours immersed in sound. ERICH SEGAL ' S Love Story touched off a trend tow- ards romanticism in novels and movies. Kathy Gibbs becomes emotionally involved. DRESSED AND READY to go, Conductor Dave Mar- shall prepares for his hundredth train ride. 21

New Snow Means i 4 4- •■- ' --i i s ? ' . -% »: r . i — , 1 ■ — -r Skiing. Shoveling; Maybe No School Falling snow means something different to everyone. Some count the days toward skiing and tobogganing excursions or just weekend snow fights. Some, however, begrudgingly con- template the hours they will spend shoveling driveways or the approximate number of times they ' ll get stuck in the course of the season. Those in 7:10 classes had plausible excuses for tardiness: But Mr. Neff! The snow plows haven ' t even started clearing the streets yet! The unplowed parking lots offered exciting new activities to break up the monotony of the day. There was, of course, the ever-popular Snowball Dodgem as well as the more daring game of How Many 360 ' s Can You Do In One Run? Despite the several drawbacks, every Jacksonite must confess to that tingling sense of anticipation received when listening to the early morning road reports and wondering: Will they close school or not? MELTING SNOW marks the beginning of spring as Mary Kocy and Sue Frame walk to school. WINTER brings out playful instincts in all of us. Cindy Springer eats a handful of snow. 23
