BY CARRIE BARTLETT It seems like just yesterday that our countdown was some outrageous number like 130. Now, today, Padre Island, sun, sand, the ocean, and all the guys, are only 1 7 days away. It all came together tonight. I was at lsenior1Margie's lLeyheJ house with the nine other girls going with me. Our travel agent, Mrs. ICzLssy1LeGear, brought us our plane tickets. along with tellmg us helpful information about the island. Occasionally one of the parents would throw out a statement like, I think each of you girls should pack two rolls of toilet paper in your suitcase. Toilet paper was the least of our worries. We concentrated more on the doughnuts making their way around the room. We are all on diets so we'll look good in our suits, said Kelly lBrown, seniorl. Mrs. lJeanneJ Leyhe had all of this good food, and only the parents ate it. At the meeting I started thinking about how spring break really motivates me. Like this afternoon. I thought about walking down the beach, and I promptly went to Modern Fitness to work out. It seems like everytime I go there I see more people from Kirkwood who have just joined. Tonight, Kelly Goggin Uuniorj was there taking a low-impact aerobics class. I could never take a high-impact class, she told me. I'd die! I felt like I had died after my class. On my way home I heard a report about Super Tuesday. Being the non-political type I switched it, but when I got home my mom had the radio on. George Bush won 1 6 out of the 1 7 Republican states. On the Democratic side, Michael Dukakis won the mzyority, Albert Gore was second, and Rev. Jesse Jackson was third. I thought it was sad that Dick Gephardt won only Missouri. his home state. I wanted him to do better, because he is the only one I know much about. A lot of my friends were pretty confused about who to vote for. It was pretty exciting voting for the first time, said Tabitha Latt, senior. I went with my parents, and we all voted for Gephardt. Tabitha was the first person that I talked to who voted for him. Jenny Mueller Iseniorj, a total Republican was walking around with a vote Bush button on all day. Nichole lChristopher, senior! said to her, 'T would rather have a rash then wear that button. Then they got in a debate about politics. I never realized that people my age were so interested in governmental affairs. N Witchopera's Bowl echoes through the band room as Robby Babel, senior, practices his. tenor sax for the Aim Dinner Dance, which took place March 19.

A DAY IN THE February ,-l '9h,, gl. ,, , Once we were inside though everyth ng was cool. We watched about 10 minutes of the pairs fh rpic Games y, Canada.

Today I decided that my weddmg will be in mauve. I always think about my wedding when the church service is lagging. Laura Rich Uunior! was an acolyte. My mom kinda made me be an acolyte, but it's fun because a lot of my friends do it, Rich told me. After church I stopped by the skate ramp and a few of the locals, Tony lValli, senior!, 'Rone lTy Cooley, senior! and Marci ISpanogle, junior! were skating. Sunday sessions are always great for fun, friends and lots of laughs. Speaking of friends, I wasn't sure if Tim lClark, senior! would still be mine after this evening. Tonight was the annual Committee of 12 party at Principal Franklin McCall1e's house. I called Tim and asked him gf he wanted to go to this awesome party I knew about. He said sure, and asked whose it was. I just told him it would be a surprise, and I 'd pick him up at 7 p.m. I got Tim and we were off He's not exactly into school-related functions, you've got to understand. When we pulled up at the McCallie's, he asked whose house it was. I just smiled sweetly and said, oh Franklin McCallie's. Tim freaked out. figure skating. My favorite event is the downhill skiing. That reminds me of some kids at school who go to Gateway Christian Church that went out to Winter Park with their youth group to ski. After dinner we played a game similar to Pu:- tionary, except that some of the categories were school-related. I never knew Pictionary was that fun, and it got everyone involved. said Leslie lSmith. sen- ior!. 'My team got stuck on Mrs. Taylor, I drew school buses because she's in charge of the deseg buses, but no one got it. On the line, of school-related activities, a group of students from Mrs. Benni Washington's Child Psychology class helped at the Special Olympics at Washington University. It was kinda cool because some very cute fra- ternity guys helped us with the kids, Melanie IHenze, senior! told me. It opened my eyes and made me realize that retarded children are people, too, with personalities and needs. Well. we left the Committee of 12 party around 1 1:30 , and Tim told me on the way home that he surprisingly had had a great time. I had known that once he got over the shock of partying with the principal, things would be all right. ,pq 4 ,X L, e l,f f 'W .- F L l slopes in Winter Park, Colorado. r 1 JDornino's pizza satisfies the hunger of Joe Dickinson, Woehenner student, and I Susan Knickmeyer. senior.
