A phone is something I canlt live without? stated freshman, Christ- ine Lykowski. Parents set such guidelines for talking on the phone as 15 minutes per call or 3 calls per day. Students often dis- agreed with their parents rules but negotiations were al- ways made. Science teacher, Mr. Lynn Gray commented, illn my house we do not have any set rules about using the phone as long as my kids are on the phone for a reason- 50 able amount of time. The embarrassment of a parent screaming in the back- ground when your 15 minutes was up led to such excuses as HI needed a homework assignment or til needed to study for a test, When this happened to freshman Jody Haynes, her excuse was, til am doing an interview for jour- nalismfl Fighting with brothers and sisters to use the phone also led to chaos. A sibling standing over your shoulder asking every thirty seconds when you will be off the phone got rather annoying. Parents questioned our motives for calling someone that we had seen in school all day, but they didn't seem to understand that we never ran out of things to say.

Teens Get Involved in Ski Club. The slope seemed monstrous to the beginning skier. She had her rented equipment on and was bubbling with excitrnent and fright. She climbed the small hill to the slope. She looked down and gasped. Then she gave a tremendous push. Swoosh! Ahhhhhhh!!! and a flop thud were all that was heard. uAre you okay? someone asked in front of her. ilYeah, Illl be alright. The skier started to get up and brush off the snow. llYou know something? You were the first person this season to fall on that baby hill someone in the crowd roared with laughter. 52 A situation like this was one example of the foul-ups on the slopes, but as Kent Wymer stated, uIf you have any athletic ability, you can learn to ski. The first time I went down the slope, I was real nervous, but when I reached the bottom, I wanted to do it again , stated eighth grader, Tom Utz. The ski club adviser, Mr. Rick Nirschl, took the eighth and ninth grade skiiers on a trip to Mt. Brighton on January 23rd. For most of the ski club, the trip was an excuse to get away from the pressures of school and have fun with friends.
