Blue Springs, not generally con- sidered a hotbed of action. did serve its populace well by being located only 1 8 miles from down- town Kansas City. Popular spots included the Harry S. Truman Sports Complex. home of the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs: Kemper Arena, home of the Scouts and Kings and in- numerous rock concerts: Worlds of Fun: and Pogo's. a nightime spot. When the gas gauge dropped and the pocketbook emptied, there was always Blue Springs. 8-Hang-Outs .,., 1 LL 1 Q S N t -:- -111 FOOSBALL ADDICT.

Ehilibila There must have been a time at Blue Springs High when students participated in school activities with vigor. And then there is the current situation where the same few students are in- volved in all activities. Reliable rumor has it that larger schools have a better percentage of participation. So. again, perhaps we're at an in-between stage-in- between total participation of the past days of glory and the overwhelming apathy of the present. An O-10 football season was blamed for a great deal of the lack of student spirit. Others put the blame on the senior class, but few would deny that the old Blue Springs spirit had seriously diminished. The future appears brighter with new club spon- sors appointed for next year. ln fact, few club and organization sponsors will re- tain their former posts. Movement to the Middle Six Conference should also prove an exciting addition to the schedule of events. MAKING CAT TRACKS. Becky Rodgers leads the Pep Club during the 1975 Homecoming parade.

Local hang-outs were concen- trated along the 7 Highway Strip. The I-70 Center was a good meeting spot and lVlcDonald's, a good eating spot. Zarda Dairy came into its own both as a place to work and to shop. Patricio's and Zarda's Hickory Pitt were two new establishments that just opened in the spring-to the delight of students and parents alike. For the adventure-lover there was also Lake Jacomo. The options weren't really what you'd call impressive. but they did exist. There was something to do in Blue Springs-even without money. 255- OAKLAND SERIES PLEASE.
