A -as..- - f is 's or I 'fr Ai:i f'ffffQffQi T' f.Y I A DAY IN Tl-IE BY JEFF MEESEY As I visited Chan Foriner lseniorj in the hospital. Sept. 12, I peered through the window. Chan had been therefor the last 1 1 days and he was bored. With only a radio, a TW and occasional visitors, I would have been equally as bored He had watched the Cardinals demolish the New York Mets, 8-1, on national television. The victory gave the Cards a two-and-one-half game lead over the team from the Bzg Apple. On such a sunny Saturday it seemed like everyone wanted to be out eryoying the weather, but some people had other responszbilities. Some volunteered, as I did, to work in booths at the Greentree Festival. The youth group from the Kirkwood United Church of Christ ran a lemonade stand, the oldest at the festival At 2:30, Eddie Saunders fseniorj and I had to work at the dunking booth At first there was little dunking action. Then we spied Cleaver Taylor lseniorj in the distance. We knew everyone would want to dunk M him, even the freshmen joined in. Around dinnertime, Eddie and I decided to get some food Sara Brotcke and Tina Browman ljuniorsj came with us. I had been walking barefoot all day. I put my shoes on the ground and walked off and left them when I went to talk to Julie Straka Wisitation senior! and Laurze Switzer lseniorj. Sara and Tina, being the tricksters they were, took my shoes. I thought my shoes had been stolen,4and I offered rewards for their return. Then I saw the culprits laughing hysterically at me, and I finally realized what had happened. At home, the front page of the newspaper caught my eye. Pope John Paul II was in Columbia, SC, on the second day of his 10-day United States tour. Turning to the lighter news in the Everyday section, I learned that the longest monopoly game ever played on the back of a firetruck lasted four days and five hours. Anyway, I looked through the rest of the news- paper and chuckled at Blondie which showed Dag- wood in his bathtub. He had a radio, a sandwich and a towel. The only thing he had forgotten was the soap. At least no one had stolen his soap.

A DAY IN THE 1. Q J , I RUBEN i 5, . AUEUSII BY KAY KUPFERBERG Nozsejrom the garbage truck woke me up. So much for sleeping late! I decided to walk in Kirkwood Park, and I was amazed to see so many students working at the Girl Scout Day Camp. Eric Parsons and Melissa Ross Isophomoresl were babysitting for the leaders' kids. Melissa said that she always had to hide their lunch because they wanted it too early. Eric said that he was only working there because his mom made him. I stopped of at school because I noticed Chris McMiller Iseniorl in the Helen Ballard Courtyard. He was working for Rudy Bulard, head custodian, all summer. Chns said he loved his job and no one was on him to get things done right away. He also enjoyed the outdoors. Brent Sutter Isophomorel sure ergoyed the outdoors today ! When I went to visit him, he was up against the windows trying to get in his house. He was locked out. Finally, he got in by climbing on top of the garage and into a tiny bathroom win- dow on the second floor. I died laughing. I took him to lunch to calm his nerves . We went to Fuddruckers, at the corner of Lind- bergh and Watson. I had not been there before, and then I saw the butchers behind a window cut up the raw meat right before my eyes. I just couldn't eat there. I decided to go to McDonald's instead. Kathy McIntosh tseniorj was eating there. She told me all about how her youth group at Eliot Chapel was helping to publicize a dance at Nerinx Hall. The proceeds of the dance were going to a nuclear freeze organization. I thought it was a real worth- while prcyect, since President Reagan and Prime Minister Gorbachev were putting in a lot of time to make a deczszbn about arms control. The National Commission on Space was putting in a lot of hours, too. I read in the U. S . News and World Report that they were planning out a two or three-year mission to Mars! Well, the school season is approaching, so I better COTTIB back down to Earth! Oh, speaking of space, I forgot to watch The Jetsons today... 4 Y .? 1 s 1 uv' It u ll W.

The senior class decorated the campus with a 6O3foot hot air balloon and with toilet paper. However, rain soaked the paper in the trees.
