Get With lt - Get Fit one those muscles, flatten that stomach, increase those biceps and build that bust! Students at Gateway, like young adults all around the country, are shaping up. Appearance was something we all worried about. This was the major reason why people got involved in physical activities. Working out at spas such as Nautilus became popular especially with the students who were going to graduate. This was an activity which could be carried on further after the students were out on their own. Paying the monthly payments was worth becoming fit and trim for not only was lifting good for the body but the mind. As said by Bob Beckman, We lift weights for our self esteem. Along with working out, jogging was a real successful activity to stay in shape. Jogging not only stimulated the body and the bloodstream but helped to relieve the tension in a person's day. The Highline canal was a very popular spot to run, along with parks, bike paths, and the neighbor- hoods.The one problem with running in the neighborhood was being chased at your heels by a German shepard. v ewes' 5 1 Ili I x'- V ...tw A. ,lv the V W. ., . ,el .

J The Uncommon Commons efore walking through the commons area, many girls stopped to comb their hair or put on lip gloss, because without fail, there always was a group of girl- watchers seated at the first table in the commons. Many freshmen would sit on the stage steps waiting their turn to join the guys on the upper level in the commons. lt has been a tradition since Gateway's opening for the Oly studs to gather around the same table day after day to rate the girls as they walked by. The normal use of the commons, however, ranged from food sales to musical concerts. Many of you probably remember looking forward to Wednes- day mornings when FBLA had their weekly Dunkin' Donut sale. Classes even had projects, like Contemporary 56 Commons Life Living's Orange Crush drink sale. ln the evenings, the commons area was transformed into a brightly lit discotheque for the school dances. On other nights, the commons area was used as an auditorium for band and choir performances. But probably everyone's most memorable experience took place during one of the three lunches. There was a severe lack of chairs and tables. It was difficult to eat while sitting elbow to elbow with your best friend in a single chair. The stairstep levels made it easy to slide over the edge and spill everything on your tray. Gateway even had its own rendition of Animal House's food fight. The instigators of this event were sentenced to 2 weeks of commons clean-up.
