Oceanic exploration waves was an enjoyable pastime for Ken Franklin, junior, who was involved in scuba div- ing for the past nine months, conquer- ing a total of 15 dives. Equipment he used and rented included tanks. regulator. boyancy compensator. and weight belt. He owns a wetsuit. mask. fins, snorkel and rock boots. His best and longest dive was at San Clemente Island in Pyramid Cave. which was for 50 minutes, and his deepest was 45 feet. Ken has confi- dence underwater, he has seen some dangerous fish such as a scorpion fish and stingrays. but it does not scare or bother him. Ken explained that out of an 80 cubic foot tank, one can average about a 30 minute dive. That is not too much time. but he rents about three tanks at a time. He has been lucky so far. because he has never run out of air or gotten air embolism. His main scuba dives have been in oceans. but he plans on trying some lakes. When Ken stays underwater for a long time. he feels It is relaxing. you feel like you're in another world. weightless. and free. It is beautiful and abounds with life. Scuba diving means to Ken. self-contained underwater breathing apparatus. which it is very difficult for some people. Scuba diving is an expensive hobby, but to Ken it is worth it. - Rod Dikes Take 24 Junior Closeups 'Man from Junction' dives for ex ensive, fish hobb 'l Karen Nluuoli Scot I A x n N O'Bri A J Kcxin 0'KcIlx Barbara Olson Kim Parks t-fs' ef .. l0y THE MOST EXCITING thing that happened at the Biology trip at the Salt River was when a girl fell in and almost drowned, said Kim Parks.junior, llj IT'S REALLY SOMETHING to get high on Jesus. your health or mind. it's more like a cure for what ails you, said Jodi Ellington,-junior.

Kim has been dancing into the hearts of her crowds since the age of two. Dancing is a very big part of Kim's life since she teaches dancing in her own studio and presently has 45 students with ages ranging from three to forty-eight. When her dancing instructor told her she knew enough about dance, Kim was ready to teach dance. She still takes lessons a few times a week in jazz, tap and ballet. Kim could probably be called a dancing queen because the name fits her perfectly. Not only does Kim teach dance and take lessons herself, she also dances with a group of the better danc- ers called The Paris Dancers. She has an agent and performs all over the Valley splitting the pay between the dancers and the agent. Kim says that she sometimes receives S25 a performance. Her plans include making dancing a career. -How long will her career go on? Well, Kim said she plans to be dancing till the day she dies. - Julie Wright Take 25 Junior closeups
