Although Berlin doesn’t have a movie theater, roller rink, or large shopping mall, students still find things to do. Although many arc occupied with jobs and school activities, students still have time for a social life. During the summer months, some students went to different camps. Others joined summer sports teams, such as baseball. And many just decided to hang around, doing things like biking or skate boarding. Cruising is still as popular as ever, and Hardee's park- ing lot seemed to be a favorite place. During the winter months, skiing proved to be a favorite pastime, whether cross country, downhill, or even jumping. The VCR rage hit, and new stores opened. Students also spent time at “Jeffs” and “Main Street Restaurant.” Some bored students de- cided to cut each other’s hair! All through the year, some student's idea of fun was to join clubs like 4-H and Boy Scouts. Others made use of the Berlin bowling alley. Three and Four Wheelers were also popular, until they were outlawed. Berlin doesn’t have a movie theater, but kids still need something to do. Some students even went to the “Gooseblind” in Green Lake. With creativity, stu- dents filled their free time with a lot of fun things! Ron and Julie enjoying the slopes. Skateboarding has come back in. right Rob! 2 Student Life

Stormin’ in with new ideas is what your high school years are all about. This year has had plenty of them. INTRAMURALS Students and teachers have participated in a num- ber of events this year including intramurals. Sports like badminton, volleyball, and horse competition were played. There was lots of partici- pation and Miss Kroeze (director) was impressed with all of the talent. Most kids look for something to do at noon and intramurals is a good place to relieve stress, and to get some physical activity during the long school days. It also keeps kids busy during noon so that they stay out of trouble. HOBY (The Hugh O’Brien Youth Seminar) is a school sponsored seminar that gives one student each year the chance to project leadership qualities and voice opinions. It motivates young people to become tomor- row’s leaders, today. Last year’s rep. Lori Wagner feels that “HOBY has motivated me to be a better person. Setting goals and working to fulfill them the best I can. that’s what HOBY offers.” ARTS CLUB Many of the students involved in drama attended a workshop in Stevens Point this past fall. Students were able to get involved in activities such as dancing, singing, and fencing. The favorite for most was stage combat in which they would learn to fall, punch, kick and slap. These students learned the importance of many other aspects to drama other than just acting. Stage-craft, make-up. costumes and spe- cial effects are some. BADGER REPRESENTATIVES are picked each year to expand on their leadership, loyalty, citizenship, health, school activities and schol- arship. They are voted on by the teachers and take part in a summer seminar. It promotes leadership and helps them to form opinions about our government Representatives included: Lynn Christiansen, Becky Polk, Diane Briski. Carlccn Meyer, Jim Ruf. Ray Rickert, Brian Lub- bert, and Corey Schram. DRUG AND ALCOHOL AWARENESS This year’s students had the chance to be part of a new system called the drug and alcohol awareness. The staff was trained to meet the needs of students who think they might have a problem or are concerned about friends or students who are dependent. Membership was anonymous and the groups do not preach. The facts are laid down and the groups form their own opinions. It’s a chance for students and teachers to work together to help and understand students. The past year has been hustling and bustling with new and interesting people who little by little have made differences and put fun back into the school.
