Arcade of activities plows over doldrums Fighting your way past stacked cans of paint and 2x4 wooden planks, you stum- bled into yet another form of obstacle: the hallway. Hallways, specifically the additional center section, presented a few extra mo- ments of the day to socialize or gossip with friends. Blotches of students appear grouped together. To the left you are showered with strands of a cheerleader’s pom pons, and on the right you bump into a careless student, attempting to memorize his lines for opening night of one of the theatrical productions, Hello Dolly,” “Winnie the Pooh,” or Ten Little Indi- ans.’ Around the corner and past the wobbly ladder, girls were making googlie eyes at the group of nearby boys, all hoping to attend Homecoming, Chi, or Prom, what- ever the case may have been. Because of a loose floor tile, you stum- ble into your classroom and hear talk of the upcoming weekend activities. Wheth- er it was attending a Boys’ Varsity bas- ketball game, traveling to Indiana Univer- sity for the weekend, or attending a wild party in town, students beat those times with “nothing to do.” While some students answered the phone in dad’s office, others answered the drive-up order at McDonalds. If they did not get in the news helping Ronald Reagan win the election, some tried by experiencing the traumas of a once in a lifetime chance to participate in an actual Hollywood movie, “Four Friends.” All seemed to enjoy the relaxing moments found discussing the latest entertain- ment, fads, and music with friends in the warmth of cafeteria and hallways during the winter months. With the changing of the seasons, stu- dents moved their interests from inside to outside. Seniors grew antsy as gradu- ation drew near, while juniors and under- classmen looked to a fun-filled vacation of summer activities. Still both groups shared continued interest in traveling throughout the country, lyin g around beaches, or participating in summer sports. After ending the summer, you realize you actually made a complete revolution as once again you find yourself confront- ing new faces, new places, and you still managed to take it all in stride. HELPING HANDS WAS an important element in pro- ducing the children ' s production of Winnie the Pooh. Senior Kim Kelchak, Owl, helps Winnie, sen- ior Kerry Conner, fix her make-up while both use the last minutes to rehearse their lines. DURING THE ONLY pep rally held on the football field, Varsity cheerleaders and drill team members help the Junior class express their spirit. PASSING TIME ALLOWED students some extra minutes of socializing. Juniors Mike Bukowski and Tad Delaney take time off to find the key to the latest fad, the Rubix cube. IN THE LAST night of float preparations, weather conditions intensified to the point when winter ac- cessories were needed to keep warm. Even within the confines of a garage, senior Ed Gomez finds working with a down vest more comfortable. 8 Activities
