A rich man's game . Miniature golf can be played for many reasons, whether it be for the fun of it, for a challenge, or for something to do. I play it for the fun, but since l'm no good, it becomes a challenge, stated Kevin Kokes. There is truth to what Kevin says. I think that those of us who aren't really good at miniature golf, but have fun playing it, find it a true but an exciting challenge. However, the people who ace or make par on every hole probably don't find it as much of a challenge as other people. Throughout the course, one would expect the ball to stay on the green the player is putting on, however, there are some exceptions to this rule. When I once over-hit a ball, it hit a rail, bounced across the course, and hit another golfer, replied Kokes. Melissa Plambeck stated, I was playing kind of like a tournament with some of my friends and I was on the last shot, which was about one inch from the hole, and I still missed. So now we all know that we are not alone with experiencing some embarrassing moments on the miniature golf course. It is, however, a state of opinion whether or not you consider it a challenge. Melissa Kerr . . . Bur cheap Chiefs end on a high note The Hastings area Chiefs took a surpris- ing third place finish ot the state tournament held at Duncan Field in Hastings this summer. Entering the tournament, the Chiefs had a record of 17-26, however, their last five out of seven outings were wins. The Chiefs got off to a slow start this summer. Overall, Head Coach Mike Atchity was pleased with the Chiefs' season. l'm really happy with the season, especially since we ended on a high note. The strong schedule effected us psychologically at times, but we made a turn and got some confidence back, The high note that the Chiefs ended their season on was the exceptional per- formance at the state tournament. The Chiefs defeated Omaha Home Federal, Fremont, and the Omaha Gladiators, who were seeded No. 1 in the tournament. The Chiefs downed the Gladiators 2-'I to move on in the tournament to play Omaha Ralston. The Chiefs were then defeated by Ralston, ending their season. I feel beating the Omaha Gladiators was the highlight of the season, Most teams thought of us only as the host team. They didn't respect us. If teams don't respect your team, then you really want to show them how good of a team you have, said center fielderfcatcher Kirk Anderson. The Gladiators also went on to the American Legion Little World Series in Indiana to place fourth in the country as explained by Todd Kerr. We've proven that our record is not an indication of the kind of team we have. We played a tough schedule through the season and it paid off, said Atchity. One award that is given during the year is the Shorty Meyer Award Cmost valuable playerb chosen by the players. This year's winner was Beau Bergman, pitcher and third baseman. Bergman lead the team in hitting with a .314 average. He batted 16 runs, and scored 23 times. Defensively he committed only three errors, for a fielding percentage of 966. As for pitching, he struck out 42 and walked only 18.

Soaps Who watches soaps? hat's that you say? You don't think that I can quit watching soaps? Just because ljump out of bed at 10:59 to run to the television set? Doesn't mean a thing. I can stop watching. But I will admit, I do love my soaps, from 11:00 to 12:00, I am up watching All My Children, The hour seems to go by so fast. Then the news is on from 12:00 to 12:80, but who watches that? Right at 12:31. I am back in my chair watching Beau Brady, 'ithe fox, in action on Days of Our Lives. Then at 1:80, Capital is on. Then I end my soaps watching Guiding Light from 2:00 until 3:00. You think I am addicted? I don't watch everyday of the week. There are such things as weekends. Becky Leighty said, Nobody can get enough of Beau and Hope on Days Beau and Hope's life seems to be perfect and everyone always watches wanting their own lives to be the same. Steve Molner also agreed that soaps are addictive. I asked Steve how he got started watching soaps, and he said, i'Hope is so good looking! So, see, you really can't say l'm addicted. All I can say is, How would your days be without Days of Our Lives? Now you know I could stop, along with millions of others, if l really wanted to. lean Boyd 6 Student LifefSummer Spectacular If isn 'r much Bur we like if Lake Hastings seems to be growing more and more in popularity in the 8O's. There was some new sports taking place at the lake during the past summer, such as wind-surfing, and paddle boating. Of course there were the traditional kinds of entertain- ment such as motor boating, sailing, fishing, and certainly, swimming. The lake was especially fun for high-schoolers, because of the public dock for sun-tanning and inner- tubing. Sora Lundeen, ajunior, said, I love to live at the lake because ofthe water-skiing in the summer, ice-skating in the winter and just living near the water. The fall brings beautiful colors to the lake because ofthe numerous trees. In the winter, ice-skating takes place where wa- Senior Kristy Peck enjoys some sun and fun at Hastings Lake. fire popularity of the beach parties steadily increases. ter-skiing once was. Lake Hastings is truly a place for all seasons a place for all reasons. Kay Sachtleben Summer fun Traveling, both in and outside of the United States was very popular among many students. Stephanie Livingston said, Visiting Sweden was one of the greatest experiences of my life. For those students who didn't travel a lot, a few of their favorite pastimes were catching some rays at the pool, cruising Burlington, going to the latest movies with the gang, and of course, watching T.V. Lib's, Aqua-Court, and Mormon Island were among the most favorite places ro get the golden bronze. Swimming is one of my favorite summer activities, said Venessa Martin. Water-skiing was also very popular. Shown Parks stated that water skiing is a fun, relaxing sport that requires excellent physical endurance. Many people agree that spending the day in front of the tube and catching up on some missed sleep could be just as fun as going out. Soap operas were the most throughout the popular shows watched day. Shopping was the only thing that could tear me away from my soaps, said Heather Mulford, Summer did come to a rapid close and it was back to the books. Chad Lounsbury stated, The summer went by way too fast for me, but I'm anxiously waiting for next summer. Ellyn Pohlson and Heather Klein Senior Beau Bergman was honored with the annual Shorly Meyer Award for the Johnson-Cashway Chiefs. His perfor- mances were responsible for placing him at the top of many statistics.

A time when the brain stops working for a short but long-awaited three months. This is a break that every student looks forward to, or at least I do. During summer one has more opportuni- ties to do things like: 'ID Goof off, 25 sleep in, or SD if yau're one of the less fortunate like myself, you work. But on the bright side of things, you set school aside and forget what you learned. Kind of let it go down the tube so to speak. I set out to discover what people thought about over the summerp to see if their brains had stopped working. Jane Bourg, a senior, said, I thought about school because it's my senior year finally! I thought about band mostly. Now she only thought about school because it's her senior year. Other seniors like Randy Gildersleeve said, I thought about sun, fun and lots of babes. Now that's having fun over the summer. Finally senior Kristy Peck said, Beach parties, um loud music, and of course, . . . MEN! Nothing to do with school at all. Sophomore Jeff Halloran said that he enjoys girls and waterskiing. Freshman Jodi Crawl added, I dicln't think about school at all. Parties, guys, and having a good time filled my thoughts. Even though I regret to say it, everybody thinks of school especially when the last week of August rolls around. We wonder then, what our classes are going to be like, who we will have as teachers and who has gotten the best tan. 8 0h boy! Camps ust mentioning summer camps to most teen-agers will instill images of their past summer camp experiences. Most of them will probably be frightening images of overweight conductors who carry large bludgeons with them everywhere they go, ruthlessly attacking young, innocent camp- goers. Other people may recall the tooth- paste in the pillow cases, Vaseline in the shoes, and D-Con in the Fruit Loops. Still others may see a pleasant picture of a rolling river, beautiful nature trails and kind, Caring instructors. The most often recalled camp experi- ences are those of church camps with names such as Camp Wintokoshee or Camp Running Beaver. These were the camps that the church minister convinced your parents could further your life goals and would get rid of you for thirteen days. So, they threw you on o bus to an obscure region of Wyoming and relaxed for thirteen days. While at camp, you faced any number of poisonous plants, large biting snakes, spiders, and mosquitoes that could carry off large poodles with ease. Sleep was nearly impossible, as the kid next to you cried for home until 8:00 every morning until he or she fell asleep in a pool of tears. Wake-up call was generally around 5150 so each camper could catch pneumonia doing calisthenics in the woods each morning. After thirteen days, you were usually sending the death threats and mail bombs that you so lovingly fashioned for your parents. Upon returning home, you were happy to discover that your brother dropped a lawn dart on your waterbed and your pet hermit crabs had all drowned. While Girl!l3oy scout survival dens were rarely as bad as the church camps, many of the previously mentioned horrors also visited you here. Each night you slept in your Barbie and Ken sleeping bag in the sub-freezing temperatures, as you attempt- ed to fall asleep to the humming of the scoutmaster's power generator, which was used to power his color television and electric blanket. Sleep was usually inter- rupted when a rival troop of scouts, dressed as Mohican Indians, raided your camp and stole your entire supply of canned beans and dehydrated foods. After the sunrise wake-up call, all scouts were lead on a hike over a nearby desert. After two weeks of this torture, you returned home and quit the scouts, and cancelled your subscription to Boy's Life or Brownie Digest. Some summer camps do have some sort of constructive lesson to teach. The hundreds of sports camps held each sum- mer, for instance, attempted to teach the camp-goer a working knowledge of the sport. Most will agree that the most impor- tant skill taught at these camps is guerril- la warfare survival tactics. Most of the dormitories that house the so-called athletes ended up condemned after the camp season. The majority of the attendants of these camps were between the ages of six and ten, each of which had just discovered that they were cool and were dying to prove it. Still, summer camps will exist as long as there are parents willing to dispose of their children.
