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. Everything seemed lively when spring hit, but with all the running around, grades began to drop and more homework was left undone. So every March when the weather begins to warm up, BEWARE of this catching disease known as spring fever. It will only cause problems. diets. Everything from weight-loss tablets to not eating was used, anything that was thought to help lose weight. Shelly Armbruster, sophomore, thought the reason for dieting was because of peer pressure and also because when they get in high school they are worrying about what people think about their appearance. Some of these teenagers went on fad diets that didn't do any good for the person or his or her body. They made the person feel worse because they didn't cise was important in slimming down. 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

Benefits help famine, farmers Dating habits vary with people On July 13, 1985, history was made as performers grouped together to do something about the famine in Africa. Bob Geldorf organized the project to make people aware that children in Africa needed help. This concert benefitting Africa was held after Bandaid; England's top artists, such as Wham, Phil Collins, and more put together a song to help Africa. All the proceeds were donated to Africa. America's top recording artists put together a song to help Bandaid. The song, We Are the World, was a big hit. USA for Africa included such recording artists as Kenny Rogers, Bruce Springsteen, Tina Turner, and Lionel Richie. Lionel Richie, along with Michael Jackson and Quincy Jones put the song together. The Liveaid Concert was only the beginning; it sparked another benefit—Farmaid. This concert, put together by Willie Nelson after a comment was made by Bob Dylan at the Liveaid Concert, was in aid of farmers to give them a second chance with their farms. Along with Willie Nelson were great performers like John Cougar Mellen-camp, Kenny Rogers, and John Denver. The next project, Hands Across America, helped feed those starving here.
