fright! - The Hxx offered both sights and sounds ro audience members or Hosrings college. Cashing in on concerts - it's all Worth ir. - Todd Miller, Senior ' 2 in Q favorite pastime of many students at HHS is to run madly from the school at dismissal time, prepare a cooler full of berQ'eragea,,pocls six people into a small Toyota, and drive to alarge coliseunjgvvhere 10,000 other people have gathered to lose their hearing. This ls, of course, a description of a concert night. Though it's not always this bad, the avid concert-goer will attest that in order to see a good concert, one may have to go to a lot of trouble, Most agree though, that it is well worth the bother. Senior concert fanatic and authority extraordinaire, Todd Miller, says, You may have to do a lot of running around, and spend some money, but once the lights go down, and the volume goes up, the party starts and it's all worth it. Sophomore Phil Spady said this about COOCSFTS, They're usually really loud and with about 10,000 other people there, it's like one mass party. One doesn't necessarily have to travel for hours to attend a good concert. Over the years, Hastings College has attracted a number of major pop performers to play concerts there. Recently, bands such as The Romantics, Reflex, Huey Lewis and the News and The Thompson Twins have performed in front of sold- out crowds. The college gives those who might not have the means to go to concerts in other cities, a chance to enjoy a good concert. Hastings High has also sponsored two live performances, The first, a band from Florida called Freefare, played a number of current pop hits. The second, a local band called Fritz, includes three HHS seniors: Riley Nelson, Toby Cummings, and Mike DeBaclser. Both bands played at dances sponsored by the high school. Some of the more popular bands that have toured in the Midwest recently have been 'lBon Jovi, Ratt, Dio, Twisted Sister, ZZ Top, and the Scorpions These concerts attract many Hastings High students to a night of loud music and excitement, David Throclsmorton 16 Cashing in on concertslConcens

Double trouble? 3-5QQBeing a twin is an experience l would have never wanted to miss. -Michelle Kerr it be to wake up in the middle of the night, look see lying in the bed next to you? Many twins in Qiikthie this would feel. Melissa Kerr commented, 'llt se jfymething wrong with MicheIle's shirt or hair and then Y yself. Hastings Senior High has quite a large number walking around our halls this year. Lookilifg like another person has some disadvantages as well as many advantages. Always being misidentified, and always having to retell people your name are some of the disadvantages. After looking like your sister for so long gets kind of old, according tojunior Angie Edgington. But it also can be a lot of fun. Freshman Mike Doht explained that in the eighth grade when he or his brother would get into trouble for talking, they blamed it on the other one, causing many problems for the teacher. Of course there are many advantages to looking like each other. Anne Searl added, I do think it's fun when people tell us we look alike, but I sometimes think we don't look the same, just similar. People might think being a twin would cause competition between each other, but not according to Traci Vannice, Not really because he's in all kinds of sports and l'm not. Rick replied, ln away there is, because we have a lot of the some classes so there is competition between us with our grades. Mrs. Uden, mother of Sophomores Kellie and Kailey, comment- ed that having twins has made her completely change her way of thinking. Everything has to be in two's, you have to give a lot more love and attention than you ever thought you could. lt's true there is a special bond between twins, you can tell by the way they help each other, stick up for the other one, and even in the way they treat one another. Susan Searl feels, The special bond develops because you spend the majority of you life with your twin. If everyone had lived with someone since they were born, they would have a special band too! Hastings Senior High had many sets of twins this year, which added up to quite o lot of confusion and funll So don't worry if you think you're seeing double, you are!
