Cutting Loose For many Trojans school offers the same old dull routine day in and day out. But what about those days when you just don ' t feel like fitting into the norm? I ' m talking about those days when you just feel like letting go and cutting loose. Well what ' s a student to do? It is without question that people need a change of pace from time to time and a high school setting is the perfect place for unpredictable antics. While some Trojans try to fight the feel- ing most of them inevitably give in to temptation and do something off the wall. For instance, some students feel the need to release their loony moods in a classroom while others find that playing frisbee in the courtyard is a great way to break up the monotony of an average day. Another release for students comes in the form of a pep session. This gives everyone a chance to scream and yell to their hearts ' content. At any rate most people agree that if you ' re around a person that ' s in a silly mood you can ' t help but want to join in on some of the riotous lunacy yourself. Honest to goodness fun just seems to be contagious. So if you feel yourself slipping into the same old dull routine day in and day out, go ahead — cut the strings of the normality. Do something worth looking back on. Finding themselves with some free time on their hands, seniors Mark McKenzie. Tom Peconge. and Cliff Tanner let go by playing frisbee in the courtyard. Cooking is a good way for some people to release tension. Junior Dale Arroyo is more than ready to roll.

A hn o % %. Arcade Lacks Interes On Nov. 14 Elmhurst held its annual Penny Arcade sponsored by the Student Council. The turnout was low this year. Many people blame that on the lack of school spirit. This year there were only a total of 18 booths altogether and approximate- ly 340 people attended and participated in the p ' nnu Ar - cade. Some of the booths that drew the most people were the band ' s Little Vegas, the Quill and Scroll ' s spookhouse, and the spin art room, Langston Lounge, and a fortune telling booth. In the end there were only a couple of organizations that raised more money this year than last year. Some groups ' ' ' e considerably less than last year. The sophomore class only made $19.05 this year com- pared to last year ' s $59.10. This lack of student and faculty interest and involve- t ment could cause the annual Penny Arcade to be a thing of the past. This may be the last Penny Arcade that we have to look back on. s l Foreign exchange student, Francisco Garcia de Leon takes his turn at reading palms in the AFS fortune telling booth. Little Vegas also offered its visitors a chance to do a little gambling. Sophomore Laura Lawrence took care of the people who dared to play the wheel of fortune.

Eating something big is another great way to break up the dull routine of an average day. Senior Troy Hackett and sophomore Laura Neumann demonstrate the way to eat a big sandwich. For senior Amy Stinson cutting loose means doing an Egyptian dance in the courtyard. — a % To add a little excitement to the Christmas assembly, the cheerleaders staged a little practical joke on a member of the freshman football team. This gave everyone a chance to cut loose with laughter. Playing — 25
