To those who do it, skating isn't just a hobby, it's a way of life. The skater is evident in all aspects of himself, his hair, the clothes he wears, his taste in music, 104 JON-KNO the people with whom he associates and even the way he talks. Skaters have developed their own concepts and standards in re- gard to music and clothing. People make fun of the way we dress, com- mented Brice Jewell. Fi common skater outfit usually consists of con- verse high tops, baggy pants or jeans rolled up at the cuffs and a tee- shirt or sweatshirt. Skating started asa fad. Some stayed with it as others died, said Joey Hedges. Ves, it's possible for someone to hop on a skateboard, take off down the street and call himself a skater, but according to several BSJH students, it's more complicated than that. Skating requires coordination, imagination and dedication. Of course, none of this would be Vw-. possible without some basic equip- ment which can include helmets, knee pads, elbow pads, and naturally a skateboard. Skaters often purchase skate- boards and then trade various parts of them among themselves in order to achieve the best possible combi- nation of boards, wheels, etc. l.Uhen asked why they skate, BSJH students replied that it's fun, challenging, and exhillerating. lt keeps you going, said Brice Jewell.

The reoson why I chose to ploy the violo is becouse l wonted to ond becouse nobody knew whot it wos. lt wos dif- ferent, Corrie stoted. Ploying the violo tokes o lot of time! Corrie soys thot it tokes plenty of proctice to get every piece of mu- sic right. She olso proctices with the Junior Youth Symphony for 2 hours. The Junior Vouth Symphony is in Honsos City. She wos in the youth symphony lost yeor ond now she's moved up to the Junior Youth Sym- phony which is o horder group. She enjoys being in the group very much. The tryouts, Corrie sold, were very nerve-rocking. There wos o lot of tough competition ond the required work wos very hord. She wos very nervous, but she knew ff? people there, so she did her best ond mode it. Corrie sold thot she plons on ploying the violo in high school ond college, ond she's sure her coreer will hove something to do with music, moybe even teoching.
