“Cross country keeps me in shape, and it’s a good outlet for stress. When I get upset or mad, I run. It gives me time to think things out and relaxes me,’’ junior Ned Appenzeller said. “Softball has taught me to work with people even if you don't like one another,’’ senior D.D. Bishop said. Sophomore Amy Joye’s sport involves taking care of an animal. “Most of my money goes to things for my horse, so lots of other things like clothes and spending money get cut back,’’ Joye said. Lack of time is one consequence of play- ing sports, according to senior Anne Mcll- roy. “My weekends arc often spent away at horse shows, so I don’t have time for school sports,’’ Mcllroy said. Senior Ed Steck said he also uses sports as a release. “It’s really easy to forget what hap- pened at school. You concentrate on what you’re playing and forget everything else,’’ Steck said. Junior Steve Burr said he enjoyed spending his free time playing Dungeons and Dragons, a role playing game, because of the creativity required and fantasy in- volved. “You can go out and kill people and it’s perfectly legal. There are no certain rules. You can do anything. I’ve got characters powerful enough to conquer worlds. They can rape, pillage and burn as much as they want, and I don’t get into any trouble,” Burr said. Writing and painting allowed student’s true feelings to come out. “When I write it’s another world, and anything you want can happen,” sopho- more Marion Gunter said. Junior Jim Dillon said he has enjoyed writing as a hobby since he attended the Governor’s School for the Arts last sum- mer. “Writing provides an outlet for tension that school creates. When you have three tests, two essays, a lab report and trig homework due the next day, it’s really great to sit down and yell at a typewriter. You can release a lot of pressure that way and it’s easier to get started on homework again,” Dillon said. Practice is hard work for Kraigg Barrentinc and Den- nis Jones but the rewards make the time worthwhile. Performing is one way Cathy Dudley fills her time. Arts and crafts are popular pastimes for students like Deborah Winbourne. 26 entertainmcnt
