T, TP, E- filling in blank lremendous tests, ter- rifying term papers and exasper- ating exams were a part of every high school student's academic career. Tests began as early as kindergarten when teachers learned how well-coordinated a child was. Many students weren't required to write a research paper until their junior year and even if they made it through the eleventh grade they were surely entrapped in the note cards and rough drafts in English teacher Dennis Parr's composition class. Exams came in different forms. The first a student was subjected to was probably the type given nation- wide to all fifth graders. Those were a sort of beginning of what was to come. Computerized tests were given practically every year and for many they led up to the big one, the Scholastic Aptitude Test. The severity of the assign- ment Qtest, term paper,or examj varied with the teacher. While a student may have not exper- ienced all of these, no one got through without knowing the trama of at least one of the above. Depending on the path a graduate took, high school was just a minor part of T, TP, E or high school was the end of tests, term papers and exams. The choice was yours.

Running iumping th line Every activity, except wimming, requires shoes and sually it is a special sort of ootwear. Playing golf in bare- eet sounds like fun until you use your swing because you on't have a firm base. And when you were little and played iasketball in stocking feet, you ave to admit sliding and doing he splits on the waxed floor 1asn't always as fun as it look- d. Even if you weren't involved HE starting gun fires and the run- ers are off as they leave their foot- and starting blocks in the in a sport shoes were a habit. QThey were also the easiest way to prevent stubbed toes.l Let's examine the favorite types and styles. Some with heels, some withoutg sandals and saddles, leather or canvas, hiking boots or exercise sandals. Most will agree there is no such thing as the all-around, appropriate shoe. For instance, many girls and guys found themselves buying or renting the right shoes for that special Prom outfit. And as far as sports are concerned did you ever try playing tennis in track spikes. There is a good reason for the large variety and it is basically the wide range of surfaces that necessitate differ- ent forms of traction and fric- tion, Some people thought things got out of hand when name brand shoes became a status symbol and never saw a rougher workout than wall-to-wall car- peting. It wasn't enough to wear tennis or running shoe, they had to have a name like, maybe, Adidas or Puma or Nike. For almost every sport that requires special shoes a specific type of ball is used. Sizes range from golf balls to basketballs to medicine balls for workouts. Textures begin with pigskin and DRESS shoes, ski boots, hiking boots, and tennies can fill up a closet floor fast. 22 Y l 43 Q, X - ' -.fs es .
