owdy!! Countri; remains home to many; for lifetime Give mc a home where the buf- falos roam and the deer and Ihc an- telopes play . . . Home on the range. Well, maybe there are not deer, antelopes, or bulTalos, but the coun- try areas and homes surrounding the school do have an abundance of farm animals ranging from chickens and rabbits to horses and cows. Many students have lived in the country on a farm or a ranch for their entire life, but others haven ' t even visited one. Any student who lives in the country understands work, before school and after school. Cietting up early to feed the an- imals before going to school every morning is a regular chore. senior Susan Guent el said. When one thinks of the country . he may think of a wide open field with a house in the middle and the nearest neighbors a thousand miles away, but others think of a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. A place where seldom is heard a discouraging word. I love the peace and quiet, it is really relaxing after a hectic day at school. junior Tammey Blasdel said. Living in the country is a way of life to many students, but it may just be the best kept secret to others. Getting ready for some fun, sophomore Lisa Butler ropes her horse. As part of her everyday activities, Butler enjoys ridin| and working with her horse. I ' huro h Maiuiir I ' liis ! Layout By Raquel Calderon V 29

Vcw ways L P Role reversal helps to broaden horizons 1 he normal routine most are used to seeing is rapidly being changed. Girls have been getting more involved with the things guys usually do and are enjoying it. Ag is the only class I look for- ward to going to. I get to learn about farming and I ' m treated like one of the guys. I don ' t get stuck with all the dirty work because it ' s a job that we all have to do, junior Amy Crump said. In the past, when a girl was put in a class that was taken mostly by males it put a strain on her to com- pete to be just as good as one of the guys and keep her female charac- teristics out of the class. Now that this is something more widely ac- cepted, it makes it a lot easier on her. She now can do what she wants to do and not worry about losing her fe- male image. I think that a girl can do just about any job that a guy can do and do it just as good and sometimes even better, senior Tiffany Homs- by said. But girls aren ' t the only ones mak- ing changes. Guys are starting to make the Mr. Mom image popular by becoming more involved in the Home Economics classes offered. In our Family Living class we learn a lot of things that I think will help me out greatly in my everyday life. We talk about love, marriage, communicating with others and how to get along with others, senior A.J. Foulois said. These classes can also prepare stu- dents for careers and for the classes they may have to take in college. I ' m planning on becoming a vet- erinarian and I think that by being in the ag class and working with the animals it will help me for when I get to A M., Crump said. Sitting in a typing class juniors Jeff Webb, Mike Perez and Larry Gonzales hope to increase their skills at typing. Taking typing as freshman Justin Mucleman and James Sydzek hope it will help them in the years to come. 30 I Role Reversals Student Life V ' W
