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.

' - ' H-t k s«.:-u.f JUST FOR THE HALI- BUT- Proudly displaying his catch, senior Gary Oliver spends a stormy day fishing with his bud senior Nick Tocco and sophomore Cori Tocco just outside of Ketchican, Alas- ka. ummer means many things to many people, but to Senior Kari Jo Schneiderhan it meant a trip to a unique and beautiful country-China. Senior Kari Jo Schneiderhan spent 10 days in China traveling to world re- nowned cities, Hong Kong, Canton, and Seoul Korea with TAC (Track Athletic Congress) a cultural athletic exchange program offered to gifted athletic stu- dents. Hong Kong and Seoul were just like regu- lar big cities; there were McDonald ' s, Kentucky Fried Chicken ' s, and everyone spoke English, but Canton was totally China. We were like movie stars; everyone smiled and waved to us. Schnei- derhan played volleyball and got to work with potential Olympic contenders from China. Un- like the United States, these students are chosen to go to special schools where they have the op- portunity to enhance their gifts. Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, senior Kim Melchert traveled to other hotspots in the world: England, France, Germany, and Swit- STUDENT LIFE zerland, just to name a few. Melchert spent a fun filled month in Europe with the Montana Youth Choir. I was really excited to go, but when we finally landed in Heathrow Airport in London, I got a little nervous. We sang at a lot of different places, but the funnest concert we gave was at Notre Dame in Paris in front of over 6,000 people, said Melchert. However, she didn ' t spend her entire time singing; she also spent time sightseeing. We did a lot of tourist things, going to the Effiel Tower, the Tower of London, and we also visited a lot of museums. If I had the chance to do it again, I ' d do it in a second, said Melchert. Summer, it was a great time for a lot of people, and for CMR students, it was the Hottest time going. -Shannon Pugh
