Fton was one of the many Lanier students who had to try it at least once. ummer warmth lingered on and on. Seasons seldom changed. Winter was never glamorous until the opening of the Ice Age. Curious and excited, Austinites began exploring winter spons. Lanier students Randy Owens, Pat Bryant, Martin Alleman and Teri Cruikshank tried it. Whether falling or hanging on the rails, they slowly learned to skate. The competitive desire to excel at figure skating guided Kim Guyer in direction of the Olympics. She won a gold, silver and bronze in Houston. By the end of her sophomore year, she had completed three of nine United States Figure Skating Association tests for the Olympics. Denise Owens also floated into the elegant, balletic style of skating. Practicing six to eight hours a day, she won a gold medal in Houston. By the end of her freshman year, she had completed five of nine Olympic tests. Mike Murphy, along with his dad, joined the Austin Men's Sr. Hockey League of six teams. The lightning fast action taught Mike to quickly learn to skate. Austinites had no snow. No snow machines. Young Life overcame this by sponsoring trips to Colorado. Melinda Whatley, Melissa Cornell, and Karen Kruze glided downhill at Hidden Valley. They went by bus, ate, got ski equipment, a lift ticket, and ski lessons for S180.00. Many pursued winter with old-fashioned laziness. They bundled up, sat in front of dancing flames, and sipped hot chocolate.

O it 9,4 safari hen the first rays of warm sun reflected off the lakes, Lanier students shed their warm school clothes for a pair of cutoffs or a bikini and headed for the Austin lakes and pools. The hill country in all its beauty provided a retreat for water lovers. Lakes Travis and Austin were less than an hour away and L.B.J. and Buchannan a little further. ln town Lanier students could pay 2503 and spend a whole day at Northwest park swimming and sunbathing. Others who couldn't find a ride to the lake or didn't have a quarter went to the free pools. After what seemed infinity, the construction on Kennemer Pool was finished. lt was a relief after spending hours of vacation time painting signs and practicing to walk out to the pool and take a cool plunge, said Jr. Cheerleader Jina Casey. The second half of Vikettes went by fast after l cooled off in the pool, said Bridget Mercado. Freshman football player Mark Shelton liked coming to Lanier in the mornings to lift weights, practice football and cool off swimming. Swimming wasn't the only watersport Vikings participated in. Skiing was popular. lf the lake was calm and there wasn't much boat traffic my friends and I were out skiing, said Kathy Bird. Other students enjoyed the sun as they sunbathed by the lakes, pool, or in their backyards. lt only cost me about 85.00 to have enough suntan lotion to last all summer, said Debbie McCollum. Some students enjoyed water sports in the winter as well as in the summer. Many went boat riding and fishing while others went sailing. lt was fun in the summer, but really a challenge in the winter trying to keep your boat from capsizingf' said Corky Stewart.
