Mark Ziegler, senior, runs past the school with his winter hat on. Winning Sectionals and Spring Break Spring Break . . . the thing everyone could not get off his mind. But those in- volved with basketball had much more to think about. The basketball team had to think of sectionals and then regionals. Sectionals started in the last part of February. The team went against Hauser, and defeated them by a score of 65-50. Then the team went on to smear North by a score of 85-58. Some people felt that school spirit, with the help of cheer- leaders. made the team win. When a team has school spirit behind them, it makes them want to work harder to win,” Cindy McFall, freshman, said. After the team won the sectionals, then came the regionals. That was when spirit was boosted more. On Friday, the day before the game, the school had a Hawaiian Style spirit day. It was for the regionals and for Spring Break. One student wished that other sports, like track, had as much spirit. Spirit is needed for all teams, because it gives them a sense of confidence. Debbie Partlow, sophomore, said. Even though the basketball team was defeated by Bloomington South, by a score of 79-69, the school still had spirit for the team — and Spring Break was approaching fast. Students began to pack their suitcases, whether it was to go to Florida for the sun and beach, or to Arizona, Utah, or Colora- do for skiing, or to visit relatives. Campus Life went to Vero Beach, Flor- ida, for Spring Break. Students who went, paid 228 dollars for their room, charter bus ride, two meals a day , and a day at Disney World. They did not go just for the sun and beach, but to talk about religion. Some even made vows. The insight of religion had a big impact on me. It made me feel better about myself. Rob Hufty, sophomore, said. Students who went skiing, visited rela- tives, or went for a change of pace. And students who stayed home, went shop- ping, visited relatives, or stayed home to watch soaps. So whether it was sunning, skiing, shop- ping, or watching soaps, it was a break from school and that made Spring Break great. by Anthony Campbell 22 Spring Activities

Students Express Opinions ■■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ Campus Life Gives Hope Parents, friends, and school . . . these are a few of the many problems that teenagers face everyday. Many members of Campus Life, an organization for youth, agreed that the group helped teens face such problems. ‘Campus Life is youth for Christ. A group of teenagers meet to talk about the good and bad times that teenagers face.' Stephanie Smith, sophomore, said. “The name just about sums up the meaning of Campus Life itself. It's when teenagers un- load their feelings about school and parent pressures. Lana Riley, senior, said. “Campus Life is a time for teenagers to dis- cuss the problems that come with life and to solve the problems through God and the Bi- ble. Tracey Lay. senior said. Campus Life met every Thursday evening. Mike Clancy Mike Clancy It varied from place to place; anyone who attended can offer to have a meeting at his house. Brian Talkington. junior, said. Tom Rust, the group leader, made visits to the school before the meetings to encourage new students to attend. Also, anyone who attended the meetings received a newsletter, with a calendar that list- ed addresses of all the houses where the meet- ings will take place. Anybody and everybody is welcomed to come. Smith said. Other than the Thursday night meetings, special activities were included in the sched- ule of Campus Life. Examples of different hap- penings were skiing trips. Chicago, and Great America. Spring activities were a bike ride to Canada (a seven day trip), and a trip to Vero Beach. Florida over Spring Break. Fund rais- ers. such as a Roller-a-Thon. was planned to help raise money for these trips. The discussions were based upon two cate- gories: insight and impact. Insights were the serious lessons that looked upon Christian to- pics such as Satin versus Christ and the ques- tion. “Is there really a God? Smith said. Dur- ing insight lessons people tend to listen more. Impact. Riley said, “ is the lighter side of things, a more casual type of lesson that talks about such things as alcohol, dating, par- ents. and peer pressure. Other than the lessons and prayer, games and refreshments were provided.
