An occupation, activ- ity, or interest engaged in primarily for pleasure. So Webster says. In other words, it's something peo- ple do for fun. Of course, there are the normal hobbies: football, horse- back riding, dancing, etc. But a closer look at some students reveal some not- so-normal hobbies. Picture this: A slumber party. One o'clock in the morning. Ten girls hunched over their big toes. Sound strange? Well, it's toe-weaving. People toe-weave a bracelet using thread and give it to a friend. T. J. Campbell said, I was shown how to toe weave this summer. It's really fun, and I like mak- ing colorful bracelets for my friends. Some kids have the hob- by of collecting things. Again, there are the nor- mal collections: stamps, coins, and so on. But there are still the not-so-nor- mal ones, too. For instance, Kim Chambers has been collect- ing perfume bottles for about two years. She said, I like to look for them in gift shops when we go on trips. My friends and fam- ily give me them as pre- sents because that's the one thing I usually ask for. Charles White has a large comic book collection — 200 worth about $60. Why does he collect them? 1 think that reading a comic book helps open us a futuristic world you would never see in just a short book of nothing but words. Maybe one day, if I have kids of my own, I'll have something to pass down so they can enjoy what I read when I was their age. Barbara Brachwitz, our exchange student from Sweden, collects feminist books; Bobbi Mullen col- lects socks, and Rob George collects old football articles. Ty Hampton's hobby is playing golf, Katy Fitzgerald's is interpreting dreams. How's that for in- teresting? Whether it's normal or not-so-normal, a hob- by is a way to express one's interests, not to mention a way to just have FUN!

Holidays a period of time when students kick back and relax. 0. [ Thanksgiving break, Christmas break, and Eas- ter break; how many of us separate the year into the holiday breaks we have? When we're bored to tears and the drudgery of school has us in its clutches, we have the satis- faction of knowing that in a few weeks there will be a holiday when we can relax. There are many things we do look forward to dur- ing the holidays: family re- unions, parties, and other festive occasions. Gerie VanAllen said, Thanksgiving is my fa- vorite holiday because it is the first real holiday of the school year and we get to see relatives. Others disagree. Leon Fuell said, My least favor- ite holiday is Thanksgiv- ing. I think a lot of the feel- ing has gone out of giving thanks. Many judge holidays by things we receive. Nancy Evans said, Christmas is my favorite holiday because I get lots of presents. Still there are holidays that are mainly celebrated for fun. The FCA threw a Halloween bash which in- cluded senior high athletes who dressed up in their fa- vorite costumes. They played games pat- terned after games on T.V. such as Win, Lose, or Draw. They also played hide and seek and watched a scary movie. Other clubs also throw parties for the holidays. Spanish club celebrates Christmas by having a Mexican meal at lunch in the Home Ec room. So, if school is getting you down, just remember only a few more weeks un- til ... By Sherry Moore Dennis Raggio, a stockman for Wal-Mart, decorates a 7 layered Canadian pine tree during work.
