16 Winter Recreation AWAITED WINTER The delayed winter had students 1 wondering what had happened toi the hassles of the lowa winters ۷ nad learned to tolerate and expect. 3 c-r —— KS, The higher temperatures and snow- less landscape inspired students to? continue some of their warmer-3 weather pastimes, rather than stay- ing home wrapped in a blanket and reading a book in front of a fire. - e ggf mmer gt mër E ge ۰ “I've done a little bit of jogging ناه‎ side because of the warmer, weather, Kristen Ripp noted. Elizabeth Hotchkiss admitted, “We | go scoping guys houses.” Although the chances to participate in traditional winter recreation, like skating and snowmobiling, were limited, other activities seemed to fill the gap. | haven't been sledding as often, Hhonda Thurman said, so | have to go to more parties!” “I'm doing less skiing, but a larger variety of other things; it's easier to get around, Richard Cole reasoned. Students usually found something to do in the absence of snow, but most were anxious forthe opportun- ity to participate in the familiar win- ter activities. Teresa Albertson complained, “l haven't been able to do any of my favorite things!” Upper Left: STYLE.

EDITORS COMPILE Read, rate, weed, edit and compile. The members of Scratch Pad, Ames High’s award winning creative- writing publication, performed all of these functions. “I like to see what Ames High thinks about. | really enjoyed being on Scratch Pad last year, reminisced Chuck Layton, the 1980 editor. He added, It was great seeing everyone come in early with their wet hair!” Twelve students, four from each grade, made up the Scratch Pad board. Each member of the board read the hundreds of poems, stories and essays submitted by students, and rated each creative work on a scale of one to five. Frequent before-school meetings weeded out the less impressive creations by averaging the ratings and through discussion. The board whittled down the mountain of paper, and Scratch Pad materialized. AHS has some very talented students. Im glad | took on the responsibility of Scratch Pad, affirmed Laura Carlson. The read- ings took me to places | wouldnt have been able to go. | spent many of my free periods in Paris, on wild safaris, McDonald's, flying, crying or living in a ghetto!” Above: LOST IN THOUGHT.
