ast rides and long lines are only a small part of the State Fair that sets in year after year as fairgoers enjoy an atmosphere of fun and games! he gates opened, hundreds of hands were stamped with colored animals and fairgoers adventured through a midway of what seemed to be a coun- ty carnival. But as the days went by, more rides arrived, crowds flowed in, the weather was hot, and fun was in the air. A variety of presentations and demonstrations kept people of all ages enter- tained. First time visitor, hypnotist Steve Bayner, at- tracted large crowds in the park as he hypnotized teens who did, or faked, as they were told. Sopho- more Mike Andre said, I was under some of the time, but when I wasn ' t it was funny to watch other people. And after I went back to the audi- ence, I barked with everyone else at his com- mand. The traditional days of the fair such as Taco Treat Day kept the rides moving as fairgoers took advantage of wristbands and coupons. Senior Paula Fairhurst said, I was really glad the Zip- per was back this year. It ' s my favorite ride. As for the night shows, rock groups Glass Tiger and Survivor rocked the stage while coun- try music singer Earl Thomas Conley picked away. And for the first time, fairgoers got a look at the monstrous sport of Pro Wrestling. It looked fakey sometimes, but it was cool to watch. My friend spit at Super Fly Snuka and hit him too, said junior Mike Ransom. Whether it was riding the rides, eating food, betting on the ponies, hangin ' out in the Gardens, or just walking in circles, the fair provided fun for everyone. -Christine Richard RENT-A-COPS- Gaining experience, seniors Robin Fladstol and Kevin Malin talk with STUDENT LIFE WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND- While taking a ride on the Flying Bob replacements, ju- niors Shelly Davis and Am- ber Warden flash a couple of smiles, raise their hands, and sit back to enjoy the ride as the music starts up and the movement begins.

For some students, sports are definitely the top priority. O thers enjoy the feeling of ac- complishment that they receive through aca- demic achievement. Still others revolve all else around sheer entertainment and good times. Partying and cruising around with friends is what keeps them going. Lifestyles can vary as much as night and day, and students are automatically branded accordingly: from jocks to the partiers to the brains, and everything in between. Somehow, though, underneath the group names, they all have a common brand. They share the school name and they have an air about them they just can ' t help showing, because they know - CMR IS THE HOTTEST BRAND GO- ING! -Christine Crum STUD i
