—Thinning — It Out “Slim and trim and “thin and fit were hundreds of hungry dieters' goals this year. Dieters tried not to notice the hungry, empty feelings in the pits of their stomachs as long as they felt they were losing weight. The svelte Joan Crawford and the toned Tarzan looks were definite- ly in. Dieting for health and beauty be- came an obsession with many; and not just overweight people got involved, but everyone often joined in. Weight loss fads come and go and this year two major ones shook the floors at Alta. The Cambridge Diet and aerobic ex- ercise had many anticipating the weight they could lose. When asked about fad diets, Kirsten Easthope replied, I don’t think fad diets work. To lose weight safe- ly and effectively, it takes years. The Cambridge Diet, a canned powder that cost $16 per can was the most popu- lar. Students enjoyed the Cambridge fla- vors of French vanilla, eggnog, choco- late, banana, strawberry, and beef, chick- en or tomato soup. The Cambridge pow der was mixed with water to make a meal. The concoction was to be con- sumed three times a day for two weeks. After two weeks on the regimen, a main- tenance diet of two regular meals and one Cambridge meal was to be followed for the next ten days. Then one’s system was ready to begin a reduced normal eating schedule.

The diet re- ceived negative national publicity when several people following the diet died and others suffered serious side effects. Aerobics was an enjoyable way for many to lose weight and keep in shape. No diets were required with programs ex- cept weight loss was faster when eating was curtailed. Doing exercise routines to lively music made aerobics great for the whole body, developing the figure, and Stuffing mouths full of pizza. Kelly Kimball and Elise Allen participate in the pizza eating contest that was held during Homecoming Week. Pizza was a food that even the strictest of Cambridge and aerobic dieters could not resist. stimulating the heart and lungs. Classes were offered everywhere: local libraries, gyms, spas, dance studios, community education. For a small fee of $2-$3 a ses- sion, people could enjoy the company of others interested in health while doing exercise routines to rhythmatic music. I think that exercising and dieting work well together, but not alone, said dieter Vonda Murray. This year the death of fat did not hap- pen as many hoped. The Cambridge Diet and aerobic exercises were just stepping stones to attain-in a perfect “10” body. Who knows? Maybe in a few years the style may be rolly-polly instead of fit and trim. Until that is true, dieters should give Lisa Duckworth’s theory about losing weight a thought: “The way you take it off, is the way you keep it off.” NielsonStubbs • 147

Young At Art Almost all art students at one time or another have considered persuing art for a career, but in order to do this, they have to have two basic qualities—talent and a seri- ousness towards developing that talent. Senior Barbara Ballard has both. Barbara started to explore art in the eighth grade when there was an art show in which she entered a watercolor of a land- scape. She won the first place prize of $50. Mow Barbara is planning a career in design- ing cards, posters, and calenders. She enjoys painting landscapes, wildlife, and fashion, but hates modern art because she says, It’s too hard to understand. Barbara has sold several paintings for up to $200 to people who enjoy art, but want it for a reasonable price—one of her pa- trons being the school. The school’s paint- ing called Serenity” is located in Mr. Sing’s office. Why does she enjoy painting? Barbara said, Art gives me a sense of fulfillment after having met the challenge of creat- ing. She also revealed, I think the har- dest thing to do is to get started on a project, but once I’ve started, I can’t stop. A couple of years ago I would never have dreamed that right now I would be so in- volved in art. Art is an extremely tough career in which one has to establish a reputation in order to get anywhere as far as selling or even being presented in galleries. Barbara is well on her way to establishing that repu- tation. And who knows—one hundred years from now a classic in a world-famous art museum might be a Barbara Ballard original watercolor. Sketching a picture. Barbara Ballard reveals her cre- ativity in an illustration during her art class. Receiving up to two-hundred dollars for her original artwork, Barbara has even sold a painting called Serenity to the school.
