Q' -. X M t I had th i L t most fun et day l ski d 4th-6th. up to the rims, sunbathed, and messed around with my friends. - Kristi Hatzell . Ent Senior Skip Day '87 was the best! - Chris Beck hen students stray. . Skipping became a cure for spring fever that many students caught during the warm weather. ln order to take a break in the monotonous school year, students physically and mental- ly involved themselves in out- door and indoor activities. Some students chose to stay in school and daydream - others avoided classes completely. The advantages of skipping outweighed the consequences of getting caught, junior Missy Sweeney said. Usually it wasn't too risky because my mom ex- cused me. lf students were not excused, they had to face the conse- quences of angry parents and blue slips. Students who receiv- ed three blue slips were punish- ed with attending Saturday detention for four hours. l don't mind the risk, senior Glen Kautz said. You only live once. Whv be boring? Live by the rules only when it benefits you. When students had enough and decided to skip school, they usually went to one of their favorite places: home to catch up on sleep and the soaps, to Rimrock Mall to shop, to a restaurant to grab a quick breakfast, to Pioneer Park to relax, or to Rimrock Beach to sunbath. l skip to wherever there are other skippersf' junior Mark Beaton said. To the Rims, to a party, or just to my house. The majority of students agreed that skipping was more for upperclassmen because juniors and seniors were more adept at beating the system and were not afraid to accept the consequences. Skipping is more for the older students, Beaton said. But anyone who skips usually has fun, U -Janna Birkeland and Lisa Huvaere l 26 student Life ANYONE, ANYONE? Students, who had the privilege of eating in class oc- casionally, even became bored. Such is the case with seniors Corby Freitag, Chris Beck, Brit Ferrell, Lorn Benson, Robyn Skaggs, Katie Cebull, Ed Evan- son, Steve Sauther, Penny Soen- nichsen, Dan Corcoran, Jim Malmstrom, and junior Brian Bell. lf a teacher didn't interest the students in a subject, they had no desire to go to class and opted to skip school instead.
