I l quam Students have hobbies just for ith the pressures of school and family at a maximum, one needed to find a release to vent his or her frustrations. A frequent way people sought escape from these problems was involving themselves in a pastime or hobby. They give me a chance to relax away from school, re- marked senior James Yee. Depending on each person, hobbies took many different forms. The most popular of these pastimes included lisa tening to music, reading, watching tele- vision, working on cars, and eating. Of course, there were some less appreciat- ed but still widely practiced leisure-time activities such as homework and chores. The variety of the many hobbies was due to the personality of each individual. Senior Jagedish Patel stated, You can do them alone, not in a big group, so they are very personal. No matter how little free time one had, the fact that there was something to in- volve oneself in and have fun doing it was always a refreshing thought. All in all, hobbies gave people the freedom to be themselves and also allowed them to retain their sanity. by Joel Larson 'Q' K, .Sis ids at heart.

6 6 here he is, ask him! Look, he's all by himself. This is the perfect opportunity! During the days, even the weeks be- fore the night of October 31st, these were the words spoken by many girls. lt was the Girls' League Backwards Dance, a time for the girls to fear rejection, plan the night, and foot the bill. l think the scariest part about the dance is asking someone to go, commented junior Me' lanie Haase. For me, the worst part about the Backwards Dance is arranging the rides. l don't want my parents driving! stated freshman Michele Gobbold. David Bayles ecstatically brought forth the fact that it gives the guy's wallet a nice break! Dressed in their sleeping attire, the couples filled the Civic Auditorium with costumes that ranged from the tradition- al flannel pajamas to long night shirts and big, furry animal slippers. However, pajamas were not the only costumes that couples came in. Others dressed up as baseball players, little kids or even pirates. Still, some couples were daring enough and came as genies and sultans. lt was the cutest theme we've had so far, replied senior, Girls' League Presi- dent, Jennie Jensen. Finally, the moment of excitement ar- rived. The 1987 Backwards Dance Court was announced. Senior Christian Hum- bert had the honor of being crowned King. As the night slowly came to an end, junior Kara Salkin along with many others felt that, lt was a blast! by Michelle Oh rend Setters . . . Taking a break from the unbearable music, seniors Melissa McGowan, Ben Somera, and Brad Adam. Ju- nior Morgan Ba teman, and seniors Stephanie Abrams, Jerri Jamriska, and Steve Lightbourne felt that the middle of the dance floor was a good place to sit. Many others joined in this act of protest. Backwards ake a look at us!
