WHAT'S YOUR HOBBY? Pastimes Prove To Be Interesting During the first week of school, teachers pass out multitudes of forms for students to fill out, sign and return. Along with these, many teachers pass out index cards asking for more personal information. For example, one teacher re- quests that students tell three things ahout them- selves that nobody else knows. A question that appears on every card, how- ever, is, What are your hobbies? A hobby is an activity en- gaged in primarily for fun and pleasure. It must be frightening for teachers to read what some students put down as their hobbies. Some of the pastimes that students engage in include surfing nude, killing large wasps, cutting out coupons, creating words with their alphabet soup, flossing their teeth, and scanning the newspaper for miss- pelled words. Teachers believe that the re- sponses they receive to their questionnaires help them to enhance the curriculum to bet- ter suit the needs of their stu- dents. Looking at the food anxiously, Jeff Scofield decides if he should take bite before running. One of his favorite pastimes, Eric Witcher perfects his hydrosliding talent. 16 STUDENT LIFE

As coordinators of Homecom- ing week, Cassy Yellis and Scott Duarte were responsible for making this year's festival the best one ever. Dressed up as their favorite car- toon characters, Chris Richards, Chris Faison, DeeDee Hill and Hunter Tynes are classics from America's Satur- day morning schedule. EXTRA ENTHUSIASM Falcon Homecoming Week - Out of the Ordinary Never before has Cox ex- perienced the caliber of en- thusiasm as it did the week of October 9th. Falcon spirit soared Music resounded in the cafeteria. Homeroom doors were decorated. Con- tests were held. Awards were won. It was a week of Falcon camaraderie. The dress up days chosen for this year were unique. They included mix-n-match day, cartoon day, teacher day, college day and green and gold day. Walking down the hall, it was fun to en- counter personalities such as Batman, The Stay-Puff Marshmellow Man, Mickey Mouse or TWO Mr. Hoots'. At lunch, it was baffling to find that Superman could de- vour an entire cafeteria meal and still have the strength to climb a building in a single bound. It was not a bird. It was not a plane. It was Cox spirit that made the week of homecoming so successful. With college signs, slogans and sweatshirts, students David Reyburn, Tage Counts and Hayle Baer are prepared for campus fashion. Would you let your children go to school like this? Phil Grant, Jason McKenzie and Tony Cum- mings model the latest in high- spirited attire. 18 STUDENT LIFE
