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.

entertainment in Bay was much to do about NOTHING Okay so you didn't have a car and the very thought of Ron aid McDonald induced nausea. You were desperate enough to browse through K-Mart, and even they were closed for inven- tory. What, you asked, was a person to do? You could have sat around and counted the colonial birdfeeders. Or you could have made the best of it— which was precisely what many students did. Underclassmen especially found that there was fun right in Bay Village. Mi- chelle Anderson stated, I just like to go over a friend's house and talk or just watch T.V. Another evening activity was attending sporting events. Don Alspaugh com- mented, It's a cheap and enjoyable way to see a lot of your friends and see a good game. As the winter months progressed, ice-skating and sledding became popular. The local rinks at Clague, Cahoon, and Bradley were frequented when the weather permitted. All three rinks were equipped with lights, but the defeat of the recreation levy, prevented any night-time skating. Even though, on the surface level, Bay seemed as though it didn't have much to offer, it did have an abundance of activities for those willing to look. SLOUCHED ON HIS KITCHEN TABLE. Senior Dave Lafyatis strains to complete his assignments. With the pressure of three college- level courses, each weeknight Dave had four hours of homework. S tealing the how Heidi Wiese, celloist and performer—Not every musi- cian sat around practicing every night. Senior Heidi Wiese performed every Wed.-Sun. evening in a pit orchestra. Heidi has per- formed in such musicals as the Sound of Music, 1776, and Oklahoma. In addition to performing at Huntington, she played her cello in the school orchestra since fourth grade. Heidi commented, Playing in the pit orchestra was really fun because I got to meet oth- er high school musicians who were as serious about music as I was. —Student Life
