making school a little more fun was HIS WAY Sunday Christians? Not FCA and Young Life members. Midweek inspiration was provided on Wednesday and Thursday nights. FCA, Fellowship of Christian Athletes, com- prised of about 80 students, was held every Thursday evening at 7:30. The meet- ings started out with a devotional usually done by Mr. Pete Hussey or one of the leaders. Later, they broke into groups for discussion, and then on to sports activities. Chrissie Parkhurst commented, FCA is a great place to get together with friends on a non-academic level. It's also a way to find out what's going on around you and get involved in a good fellowship. Young Life boasted about 125 members. They met ev- ery Wednesday night for some light-hearted fun, and some serious discussion. Young Life, originally based in school, was moved out due to some controversy pertaining to mixing reli- gion and school. The man in charge was Don Mook. Their meetings, held at a member's home, were full of fun. Young Lifers enjoyed skits, parties, and occasional weekend retreats. Jenny Miller, Young Life member, concluded, Young Life and groups are very worthwhile, and a lot of fun. WITH THE HELP of some visual aides, seniors Rhonda Moore takes notes on Mr. Hussey's discussion. The topic was about the Christian ways of winning and losing.

weekends for pure enjoyment INSIDE All week long students wait to say TGIF S S 70 the outsider, Bay Village might have appeared to be very boring. Bay had no movie theaters, no shopping malls, and no fastfood restaurants. What could a kid possibly do on the weekends for pure plea- sure, in Bay? Well, necessi- ty is the mother of inven- tion, so the Bay Rec program conjured up a variety of year-round intramural sports and activities. Everything from soccer to needlepoint was organized. Rich McLead commented, I like Bay Rec a lot. It gives me a chance to play different sports all year, regardless of my ability. On Saturday afternoons, in houses throughout the town, students organized game marathons of every shape and size. The most popular weekend game was Dungeons and Dragons. Da- vid Barnard said, The game D D is fun to play. I really get involved. Some- times my friends and I play the entire day. In addition to board games, video games were also a big craze. The newest innovations were home vid- eo consoles. Put out by companies such as Atari and Mattel, these were in great demand. Bay Village may not have been considered one of Greater Cleveland's hot spots, but the students didn't care. They just in- vented their own fun. Mak- ing fun was always absolutely necessary on weekends. S tealing the how Rob Sobczak—D D Master. Since the Egebert story when a man committed suicide over the game Dungeons and Dragons, Rob had been playing this fantasy game. His achieved level was the ninth, a lev- el for only the high- ly skilled. Rob related his feelings for the game. Of course 1 play it because it's fun, but it's also an es- cape. I can do things I could never do in real life. I can kill a dragon and then return to reality. Rob, the weekend spotlight was his. — K hosier OUT working on the weekend Studying, practicing, and zvorking make WEAK ENDS ven though it Weekends were might have posed to be for MkB been the week- but, believe it or ven though it might have MkK been the week- end, some students could still be found participating in one school activity or an- other. One weekend function was the paper drive. The paper drives were run by science club as a fundraising project. Club president Lisa Landis comment- ed, We have a paper drive every month where we work four hours on a Saturday morning. It's really fun and it's a way to earn money for the club. Weekends were sup- posed to be for fun, but, believe it or not homework ranked high on the list of weekend activities. Students did homework alone, with a friend, or in a group. Other activities in- cluded running and working out. This was done- in order to improve one's physical being for a school sport. With school five days a week, one would think that was enough, but some stu- dents felt it necessary to work overtime. 1 1 1 rJ ; - gj UmlmM --UJ -3 IT 1 — k I'nsier TO STAY IN SHAPK for the upcoming truck season, Kristina Van Nederveen and Michelle Duf- fy stretch-out at Huntington Park.
