The new Dominion Skating Rink provides recreation for people of all ages. Sonja Atkins is trying her feet at it. During the basketball game be- tween the Spanish and French clubs, Mike Harvey goes up for two. The games provided recrea- tion for many students. While waiting for the main course of their meal at Pizza Hut, Martha Saunders and Karen Jebson share smiles and laughs. 21

Some people are more successful at roller skating than Josie Ballato. But then some aren ' t. Terry Seiter, “There aren’t enough out- door facilities. Scott Whitehead. “It’s improving, but has a long way to go. Debbie Campbell, “It’s good — gives students something to do.” Craig Johnson, “What is it? Where can it be found? Does it come in assorted colors? What are these people talking about? Recreation in Culpeper! Some people think that there is hope for the “there-is- nothing-to-do-in-Culpeper blues. Others are as pessimistic as ever. One thing is for sure — nothing can be accomplished unless everyone cooperates. Has recrea- tion somehow come to Culpeper? Entertainment might be just talking and eating with friends. Steve Calhoun, Mike Hitt, Chris Kallas and John Myers relax in Papa George’s. 20

n c Morning has broken. The homeroom bell has rung. People flutter through doors like leaves escaping the grasp of an autumn wind. A menagerie of people. Each person as unique as a kaleidoscope design. The beginning of a new day. First period, the same as every other day, is normally quiet, except for the oc- casional giggle. Words like bubbles float slowly in your mind where they burst at the realization of what was just said. Eyes fight to remain open and looking around to see hazy pictures of others ex- hilaration towards the new day. Dozing. Happenings of yesterday are painted like a technicolor movie in my head. Dreams of tomorrow. I wish, I want ... Is tomorrow Saturday or is it Tuesday? “ . . . Oh, excuse me! What problem are we on?” Embarrassing! What Relief! First period is over. Maybe I can salvage the day yet. Second period was paved with frustra- tion. I handed in my notebook and when I got it back realized that I had a letter to my love stuck in between my notes on clauses and phrases. I hope she got a kick out of it. 10:47 — when second period ends, can third be far behind? Too far behind for me. In between second and third my illusions of making a day a success were totally crushed. It seems there had been a chewed piece of gum on the seat of my desk. Waiting for an unsuspecting victim. I ended up walking down the hall with my dress stuck to my hose. Third period I asked to be excused and struggled most of the period with gum and tissue paper. Tissue paper does not remove gum. Bubbling over with balloony enthusiasm, Lisa Kelly and Mr. Allen prepare for a not-so-typical day in the life of Colonnade staff members. Wendy Yates, guidance office helper, spends some of her time daydreaming. 22
