They may never race rabbits, It all started when Bonna Cummings, junior, got one for a door prize - a turtle. She became interested in them and decided to take up a hobby of collecting turtles. Bonna collects several types of turtles: glass, wood, stuffed, and ceramic. She thinks that a slow turtle doesn,t bore anyone, that's probably why she has 67 of them. As far as Bonna knows, she is the only one who has turtles as a hobby on campus. Bonna thinks turtles are cute because they are made all kinds of ways. Some are playing basketball, bowling, and lying on their backs. She even has one from Mexico with a mermaid. Sitting on its back Bonna used to have live turtles, but gave them up after she found that they were more fun to collect. Bonna is also involved in other things - drama, Young Spirit, and is a member of the Speech Team. She is involved in these activities because they are all per- forming types of groups. And they are all fine arts, which she plans to major in col- lege. - Wanda Voller 19 but it's fun collectin turtles QOL? if .

Everyone is a friend, and you meet new kids. When you have unity with kids, you all work extremely hard to put on a better pro- duction, and the main goal is to get bet- ter and better every time,', commented .Ioan Sambaluk, junior and the Drama Club president. Even though she is not personally involved in the acting of the plays, she involves herself in publicity and host- essing. First play of this year was Our Town, the other two plays of the year were My Fair Ladyv and The Odd Couplef' The pattem usually used is three plays a year, one serious, one musical, and one comedy. Putting on plays takes many faithful hours of practice rehearsals, usually from 3 to 5:30 or later, and sometimes Saturday, according to Joan. Of course it takes a great deal of devotion to be in a play, but when one hears the applause, it is all worthwhile, said Joan. So far the best play in drama history was the King and Iv, a musical that will never be forgotten for its fantastic performance, according to Joan. Organizing costumes for plays, one can count on Joan to help out. They have many costumes in the drama shed and some are a bit out-dated, but are still usable. Thier money is managed wisely, instead of buying costumes they make them, according to Joan. Her main goal in life is to be a parole officer. If one can compare parolling to drama work, both involve working with people and getting their confidence. Besides just raising money or putting on plays, the club members get together, go ice-skating and have a good time. So being in the Drama Club, is really pretty exciting, accord- ing to Joan.

This was the case at the home of Mike Bell, ajunior. Mike designs and makes his own jewelry. Bracelets and rings are the usual, but when it comes to necklaces, he doesn't want to go that far. The equipment includes: Silver, turquoise. a silver solder, sawdust, and tongs. He began silversmithing as a hobby which he learned from his parents. It takes a lot of practice, and learning does help a little. Things that are made by Mike aren't sold unless someone wants one that is already made. Prices range from S12 to 520. Silversmithing won't be Mike's career. He said, A restaurant is more exciting to me than my hobby. XL, D -.. Q I in :3773i'i:w lim Holder Pam Holen Hugo Huerla 75 ACCORDING TO MR.
