Where itis at, Keeping busy was no problem for most Kickapoo students, in fact, finding time before and after school and on weekends, to just plain do nothing was difficult. Finishing sum- mer activities, like softball, was even a harder task after school started. Changing the day's schedule was the only way to make it to such things as church activities, as Campus Life, and outside hobbies, as balloon races. Setting the scene for many Kicka- poo softball enthusiasts was the good ole' softball park, where they found friends and family members cheering them to victory. Victory wasn't everything though, as Jenny Thomas, one softball player, said, Wjust having fun and being with my friends was the best. Being with friends and even boy- friends and girl friends was always a favorite pastime that caught every- body with a smile, at least once in a while. Taking off with someone spe- cial to have a picnic, or just to the park to swing was a common sight. Close friends gathered and made plans to go repelling at Battlefield, go camping at Table Rock, or to have 0 Q 1 how it s done a friendly football game at Village Green. Weekends often filled students with a sigh of relief and a hopeful change of pace. Chiefs' Friday night football games, dancing at Cedars- hake, and just driving around town with friends was fun. After the gas crisis squeezed the pocketbooks, most Kickapoo students found McDonald's as a good hang-out until management began running students off with the aid of the Springfield Police department. No matter A what the problem, though, Kickapoo students got together and found friends and fun. Probably times like those were the memories that will cloud our minds when remembering that these were the best years of our lives. As senior Doug Green said, HLeaving this school, Kickapoo, is probably one of the hardest things that I have ever done or will do in my entire lifef, Senior Sharon Beckham solely concentrates on a play called pole-cat, where the center eives a pass and tries for a touchdown. Defeat tastes sour as senior Stan Bullington finds him- self drowning in self pity after several games of minia- ture golf at Putt-Putt. Ope ning
