This was an interesting idea to most people, but some didn't like the idea of waiting five months to see how the story ended. Mini-series became addictive for some people, but others couldn't get the whole point of watching a story that could be read at their own ds spend hours decorating lockers One of the main priorities of a student during the first few weeks of school was decorating the all-important locker.

Exer- Disease sweeps through building When the warm sun melted all the snow from the winter months and everything started warming up, students and teachers caught a fever that had become an annual event. This fever always happened around the same time of the year. Some caught it worse than others, while some only had a mild case of it. This fever couldn't be treated by a physician but only with time. This fever was only dangerous to grades because it was SPRING FEVER. This was the time of the year when the flowers began to bloom, spring training started for baseball players, the grass turned back to its original shade of green, and students and teachers anxiously looked forward to the end of the school year and summer vacation. Fishing poles began to make an appearance as more people be- gan to spend a lazy day at the lake, river, pond, or anywhere else that looked like a nice place to spend the afternoon doing nothing. When spring fever hit, the first thing most students wanted was for school to be out. There were many enjoyable things that went on during spring. Ginger Hall thought that some of the more enjoyable things for her to do were the parties with all my friends, the motorcycle rides, picnics, swimming in ponds, and cheerleading tryouts.

Without exercise fat was not burned off, so it remained on the body. Diets were also dangerous; eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa was caused when a person didn't eat. Their body became nothing but skin and bones . This disorder was treated only if the persons helped themselves. A physician must be seen before a diet should be started. He should help plan the diet and exercise program. 26 Mini Mag
