Sit down, kick off your shoes, relax it’s Your Time! When the ninth period bell has rung, where do you go? How do you spend your spare time? Many students rush to the gym, a popular spot, where flocks of people can be found. Some go home and call their friends they just left, to plan the nights activities. Fridays can usually be associated with the word: party! Many students throw and attend these parties. Admit it: you ail go to one party or another, and are sometimes seen in not the best condition. A few worn out students often just sit at home, relax, and rent a movie. Others enjoy taking their beau to a movie, or spending a quiet evening together. Many students can be seen showing off their school spirit at such events as football and basketball games. It's strange that, when asking, no one ever seems to know the score ... Most views on what the ideal way to spend your spare time is, differ greatly. In her spare time, Tania Gale tries to relax by listening to Pink Floyd, 'The Wall’, and other assorted music peoples. Lisa Roy poses anoth- er view, shared by many: Everyday after school I hit the refrigerator to chow down. That's definitely my first priority and I always make spare time for it.” Pete Richardson says, During my intellectual hours, I enjoy ponder- ing over nature's beauty and splendor.” No matter how you spend it, spare time is a welcome relief from the day's hectic schedule.

Crank up the hottest TUNES What would you do in a world without music? We usually don’t go through a day without listening to some form of it. Music videos are a major influence in the music industry, and listening to our favorite radio sta- tions, records, tapes, or C.D’s has be- come a daily experience. Concerts can also overtake us. Some fanatics will even spend a night outside to buy tickets. MTV or VH-1, that is the question. Jenny Mayne responded, I listen to MTV because VH-1 is the yuppie channel.'' Whichever you prefer, there are hours of viewing enjoyment to be found. A wide variety of radio stations can ? also be found. Allison Mayne says, I think that Def Leppard and Sting are awesome. I like to listen to Z-89 be- jj cause they play them often. Chris Brown replied, I listen to 95X be- cause they play a lot of old classics. Whatever style of music you enjoy, there is a station for you. Tapes, records, and C.D.'s are bought by all teens. Stephanie Sornppi states, I listen to tapes because they are easier to find, and there is a better variety of popular songs on them. Tapes are often less expensive, leading more students to favor them over records and C.D.'s. Concerts: a chance to get a glimpse of our favorite group or soloist. Shannon Wadsworth ex- claims, Personally, I think that the Sting concert was the best concert in the world.” You can easily go see your favorite group and have a great time, too. There are many styles of music to- day, and a great many groups are associated with each. Country, rock, soul, and the list goes on. No matter which you listen to, there is usually a singer who stands out from the rest. Sean Wadsworth says, Me and my sister both agree, Sting is a God.” Lau- ra Avery replies, “Not a day goes by when we aren't exposed to some sort of music. It's a big part of our lives. My favorite group is A-HA. Their tapes are fabulous.” Music plays a crucial role in every- one’s life. With the wide variety of dif- ferent ways to listen to and watch mu- sic, it's hard to ignore. So, crank up the volume and let the music play!” Shannon Ryan, Chrissie Sprague jand Hester Rice grab their radio before head ng out for the weekend.
