Roller Skating is an old hobby, but a fast, growing fad. In the central Lit tle Rock and Jacksonville areas there are about 8 rinks where you can rent your skates or bring your own. Inside the rinks you are free C0 skate almost any way you want just as long as you are not hurting anyone else or taking away from their fun. The new fad in roller skating is Roller Disco- It costs about 53.00 to skate for about 5 hours. It's very good exercises and most enjoyable Russell Rainey, a student at Robinson, enjoy s competitive wat- er skiing as one of his sum er hob- bies. There are three different catagories in which he competes. They are jump skiing, trick skiing, and slalom skiing. In the jump skiing competitions you are judged by how far you can jump off a ramp. In the trick skiing competition you are given so many minutes to show all the tricks you can do. In the slalom skiing competition you have to manuver yourself through bouy's. In order to win the compet- ition you have to score the most points from all of the catagories. Russell won one trophy this summer in a competition. Other students in our school who compete are David Bagley, he competes in barefoot and slalom skiing, and Mike Fulton, who competeswin S181f15q'Q and trick skiing. Mike hasggos on. trophy in tricks on Lake Hard

Are you into the music scene? Doug Hunt and Owen White sure are. Not only do they both compose and perform songs but they both have won a scholarship in music. Doug plans to attend the University of Central Arkansas, while Owen plans to attend the University of Ark- ansas at Little Rock. Who knows, some day they may be famous singers! L IFE IN 1980 !!!!! During the years of 1979-80, many different groups visited the T. H. Bar- ton Coliseum for concerts. Many of our students here at Robinson have attended some of these such as, Billy Joel, Jour- ney, Thin Lizzy, Z. Z. Top, Van Halen, Molly Hatchet, Styx, The Cars, Heart, and Kenny Rogers, which was a sell out. There are different kinds of concert set ups. Most of them are set up to face just one side of the audience, but this year Kenny Rogers has a new set up. It's round so everyone in the audience will be able to see. The average costs to se a concert isa about 36.50. Many of our students att- end the concerts faithfully and report that they are very enjoyable and well worth their money.
