JANUARY 19 MONDAY Students did not have school In honor of Martin Luther King Jr. on January 19. Although most holidays are spent relaxing or engaging in fun-filled activities, on this day the majority of students prepared for semester ex- ams. Having the day off was a blessing for those who waited until the last day to cram for tests. I went to the library to study for finals, because I knew I wouldn't get anything done if I stayed at home. ■Scott Anderson Having Friday off, students spent the day completely different than the free day on Monday. After three hectic days of exams, students enjoyed themselves and did not worry about school. Men- tally fatigued, students JANUARY 23 FRIDAY chose relaxing activities like a movie, shopping, or sleeping. “After a difficult week of studying for exams, I thought a movie would be fun and relaxing. -Kelli Flanagan — M. Zukowski — M. Zukowski SHEAR EFFORT. Preparing for midterm exams, seniors Craig Murray and Chris Shear attempt to study. Because they graduated before finals week, these ex ams were the last hour and a half tests that they took. JANUARY 26 MONDAY “Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow”. Although no one sang this song aloud, many members of ski club felt this way. Ski club pro- vided fun and memorable times for the 95 students who joined. On five Mon- days in January and February, students rode 45 minutes on greyhound busses to Boston Mills. Once they arrived, students who needed to rent skis did so, and lessons were offered to those who wanted to take them. Called off the slopes at 8:15 p.m., students were allowed to ski about four hours each time. Ski club provided members with exercise and exciting entertainment. “This year was my first time skiing. My friends and I all joined as beginners and took the classes. I was kind of scared at first, but in the end, I had a great time. -Karin Cass — S. Starr Student Life

 7fla©QQ Genesis Invisibly Touched Its Fans Genesis songs were in the air the night of the Invisible Touch concerts at the Coliseum in late January. Originally scheduled to perform only one night, the band added two extra performances to accommodate the number of fans who wished to attend. Because of the Super- bowl, the concert was post- poned for one hour on Sunday, the opening night. The band performed for two and a half hours each night and played a variety of old and new songs. During the second en- core, Genesis played a variation of Turn it On with excerpts of older songs by the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. It was a great way to end a great con- cert, remarked Julie Tomlinson. Concert souvenirs were sold for prices ranging from $3 for a button to $35 for a sweatshirt. By the second night, concession stands had already sold out of certain items. Whether students bought a souvenir or not, this was a concert that they would not forget. Broncos Bit Dogs Look who almost made it to the Superbowl . . . those bad, bad Cleveland Browns. Unfor- tunately, the Browns were leash- ed by the Denver Broncos in overtime. Although the Browns were winning in the fourth ?|uarter, the Broncos scored a leld goal to tie the game. Going into overtime, the Browns had THAT SPECIAL TOUCH. The day after attending the Invisible Touch concert, junior Mike Smith wears a Genesis t- shirt. Mike purchased the shirt for $17. possession of the ball. Unable to move the ball far enough down the field, the offense was forced to punt. After receiving the ball, the Broncos worked their way down the field. Once into field goal range, they kicked the win- ning goal ana won by three points, 23-20 Getting into the full Browns fever the day of the game, students either went to the stadium or had Browns parties at home. Senior Tom Germuska commented, I watched the game at Krissy Baird's house. I was all decked out with dog biscuits and a rubber dog nose. The cheering in her basement was louder than some basketball ames. I loved it, even if my eart was shattered that we lost. — M. Zukowski THE DAWG DAYS OF WINTER. Senior Chris Beckerman cheers on the dawgs during the final quarter of the Cleveland-Denver football game. This all-senior party was held at Krissy Baird's house. January

UP, UP. AND AWAY Decorating Friday night, junior Kathy Preslan reaches up to untangle the ball x n strings. This is the first year Kathy served as Key Club president. AND DO tHH TWIST. Bopping to the beat at Snoball, senior Heather McNaught and her date stir up the dance floor. Heather was one of the few to keep her heels on for the dance. February — M. Zukowski because I guess Mr. Voters made the basketball team stay and practice. We stood outside and froze for about 10 minutes and watched the building burn. Alan — M. Zukowski Trask was a little nervous about the fire department showing up because his car was parked in the fire lane, but luckily, they didn’t give him a ticket. ■Greg Bellush FRIDAY What would it feel like to not be U.S. citizens? This year, Rich and MJ Ball ex- perienced becoming them. Their family moved here from England in 1973 when their father was transferred. '7 had to become a U S. citzen in order to receive an ROTC scholarship for col- lege. It was really no big deal though, because I feel like an American since I've lived here so long. -Rich Ball — M. Zukowski FEBRUARY 7 SATURDAY On Saturday mornings, close to 80 students play in the Bay Recreational Basketball League. There are eight teams that play from 8 a.m. until 12 with four games per morning starting every hour on the hour. The 9 12th grade age group started only 4 years ago, but it is doubt- ful that it will survive another year because of a majority of senior players. Our team did really well in the regular season but lost in the first round of the playoffs. The teams are ar- ranged by the skill of the players. Bay Rec puts a few good, medium, and not so great players on every team, so the games are pretty fair. I’ve been playing rec hoops for 9 years, but I like the high school level the best because their is a lot more freedom. ■George Alderdice FEBRUARY 25 WEDNESDAY At 4 p.m., burning clothes in a dryer of the school’s laundry room caused several students involved in afterschool activities to evacuate the building. Fortunately, damage was minimal. “We were in the middle of track practice when the alarm went off. At least Mr. Kaiser would let us leave tAV
