'W 'L 0 Spotlight on Exercise and Recreation Whether it was participating in a rigorous game of touch football or finding that special soft spot on the sofa to watch a good movie, everyone had his or her own way of relaxing. Many of us enjoyedjogging. either early in the morning or late at night. It wasn't unusual to see a person jogging down the street clad in a grey sweatsuit under brightly colored shorts. Some of us ran to shed pounds and others did it to get into condition and build stamina. Senior Lisa Bradley often got up at 6 a.m. to jog forthe health of it. Though Emporia is far removed from the snow-covered slopes of the Rocky Mountains, snow skiing was fast becoming a popular sport. Around 175 of us hit thc slopes 'W 1 tk ii t X , , ,I , 5, .jymmjv X ' ri r,,' 'W , ,gi,t Opening i m..,,+ , ' - 35. .'..w,,f ,1a:.G.m.mzw11: cwest.. fif.,. .Q ...es..a.'.:g1 during Christmas and Easter vacations at resorts like Winter Park.

Pinball games like Gorgar and Middle Earth were popular ways to fill our fun time, along with electronic games like Bandito, Witch Hunt and, of course. Astroids. When we were really uptight, nothing could beat kicking oft' our shoes. putting on a pair of headphones. and tuning out the world as a way of escaping from the tensions of school. jobs and home. e fs P .4 , 4 I if as gsagaira. ,tzswf 13:4 ,sr:4c'z:Lnffa2rei,1'si1amir.e.'m1r+J.e1warm g,.:: -as

Spotlight on transportation Cars, trucks, vans, motorcycles, and bicycles we all needed transportation to get around town. Most of us had to agree, cars played an important part in our lives. Freshmen only dreamed about the day when they could drive, as they sleepily boarded the school bus at the crack of dawn. Sophomores pleaded, threatened, and promised anything to get that first license. Please, Dad, everyone I know has a driver's license. Look, I can run errands, pick up my little sister at school when it snows, and help drive on long trips. C'mon, Dad, just think of all the time I'd save by not riding the bus that I can spend on homework. Please, Dad, 'ff' everyone else .... Remember? p Juniors that were persistent enough to get a driver's license soon tired of using the family car on Saturday night only. Summer jobs provided the cash for their first car, but they were soon tired of their '67 clunkers and waited in eager anticipation of the day when they could buy that brand new Porsche on the showroom floor. i Seniors, after buying that second car, found themselves holding two jobs to pay for gas, which ran anywhere from S7-520, insurance that was sometimes as high as S420 a year, and general repairs on brakes, mufflers and tires. All this just for that brand new PINTO on the showroom floor. llflii 5 ' ' 8299 .,, 'T' f W ,s s K W at V' t, .N Mfr if 4Jl,,,7, I 'Viz .Jig 5 A., 2.25 ,nn-w -, . 'ft ,.,.,., , f ' ' Q' 1, . . ,
