Padre Island, Colorado, Austin Teens Enjoy Break There were about eight of us who rented a condo at Padre Island. We left Monday morning and came home Wednesday night. It was great to get away for a few days!” explained Senior Michelle Hahn. Spring Break gives us a chance to take it easy for a week - it is the only holiday, other than Easter, during the spring semester, said Senior Vijaya Rao. The most popular activities during Break were going to the beach and snow skiing. While some students just got their friends together for fun. others took trips with their families or other groups. Junior Shannon Pratt said. My family always goes skiing over Spring Break. Colorado is a great place to get away to for a week. Journalism students, including Ramblings and Rampage staff and Journalism I students, took their annual trip to the ILPC Convention at the University of Texas at Austin. Sophomore Dan Billman, Rampage reporter, was the recipient of traditional initiation rites. I knew I was going to get it when I heard a bunch of noise outside of my door and then, everyone was in my room at once. said Dan. Spring Break is a necessary part of the second semester. I couldn't believe it when I heard that the School Board even considered not having it next year. I love Spring Break! said Freshman Cheryl Smythe. Spring Break 23

Jason’s Face Scares Foxworth And Rocha Worse Than Mask Over 200 parents, teachers, and students came to see this special presentation, an hour of Elsik’s best talent. The lights grew dim and the curtain swung open, displaying The Light Band ‘‘We’re not a real band just a group of friends. It gave us a good feeling. We're in Students for Christ because it's neat to be in school and still relate to God. replied Lead Singer Erica Cheng. Six out of the ten acts were dances, three of which were Revellier dances. They also danced with Chris Lundquist in It's Cats. It’s Frightening was the only act without music. It was a skit from a book performed by Tangy Foxworth and Diana Rocha. “I'd wanted to be in the Talent Show since I was a freshman and this was my last year, so why not.” replied Diana. Minutes before the show Chris Lundquist came up to them and asked if they would mind if Jason would take off his mask before they screamed and ran off stage to add a little more to their skit. They agreed and it brought laughs from everyone. For a finale every participant in the Talent Show sang We Are the World. Money from the Talent Show was used as a supplement for the Student Council's expenses. By R.
