r Are you caught running home, grabbing a box of 40 Hostess Twinkies. in- dulging yourself with a six-pack of Pepsi and a bag of Doritos just in time to watch, of course, what else but the Brady Bunch?!” Even though you've seen every rerun at least 87 times, it still catches your attention! Why? We’ll never know. There's more to after- school life than that. Oh come on. Wake up and smell the coffee! You can busy yourself with school sports, student council, after-school jobs, shopping (everyone's favorite pastime, otherwise known as spending money) and exercising, yes, there are people who actually do that. But why? It gives me a chance to think about things that I usually wouldn’t take time for. I think that the physical aspect is just as impor- tant as the mental, said Tammy Felts. And of course after school is a time for lots and lots of social life. Oh yeah, it's also a time for that dreadful stuff they call homework. Homework, although most people dread it, is one of the many factors of high school life. After school is also a time to walk the dog, wash the car, or talk on the phone to catch up on last week's gossip which passed over your head. All in all, after school is a time of your own and a time to pursue dif- ferent opportunities even if it does mean grabbing for that box of 40 Hostess Twinkies, a six-pack of Pepsi, and a bag of Doritos — go for it! SURE WOULDN'T WANT to meet these guys in a dark alley, but it wouldn't be as bad to catch Chris Brevik and Mark Schlichting work- ing out at The Athletic Connection. Photo: B. Bargmann.

Easily created. It only took 600 balloons, some red and white striped fabric, half a dozen large, bright posters, mega streamers, and a girl willing to treat the guy. “Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up! Come see “The Greatest Show on Earth featuring the infamous jug- glers. Garbonzo and the African Bean Sprouts, a dancing cow. and the ever popular...” Sound like a circus? Well on February 1. the Greatest Show on Earth came to CHS. Ringmaster Chad Carr, looked especially sharp in his black and white tux. as the M.C. of the Spree Aud. Mr. Holladay along with 2 side- kicks. bounced through the audience dousing people with his plastic carnation. While Mark Schlichting. alias Tina the tightrope walker, pulled on a pair of hot pink tights and an orange tutu. Although he was embar- rassed. he succeeded in cracking a grin on nearly the entire audience. Tradition was broken when the annual Spree aud was held three separate times in the auditorium, instead of once in the gym. “For the firs time in three years, I coulc actually hear what was goinj on!” confessed senior Davie Lehner. Because of Saturday morninj basketball practice, the decorating process was slightly delayed, but there were plenty of other things tc do. The duct tape was gone before 11 a.m., and by noon it was time for a Burger Kinj break. With full stomachs the workers wove a “big top of multi-colored streamer: which covered the entire gym. The tedious proces: took over three hours, anc even though it was proelucec by only a few. it was ap- preciated by all. Everyone who attended the dance wa: entranced when they enterec the circus-like atmosphere made of balloons and streamers — another world something totally beyond George Marshall Gym. Whc would've thought that a cir- cus” would be so successful? THE WICKED WHIP of LaDon- na the I.ion Tamer, alias Nicole Crawford, finds its mark as Sheba (Annie Platter) raises her head in defiance.
