V het:her a VCR, an ansv ering machine, or a stereo, students vi ere proud of their Many people believe that as a girl develops into a woman she usu- ally hides all her toys or else passes them on to a younger sis- ter; but at Hood, students still have toys — electronic toys. The toys ranged from VCRs, stereos and televisions, to an- swering machines, CD players, video games, and computers. Students brought the comforts of home to their dorm rooms. Some of the toys aided students with their school work. Though the college had two computer labs, many students opted for their own computer. VCRs were occasionally used to tape TV shows or presidential debates which needed to be watched for a class. Most of the electronic toys were for the student ' s own enjoyment — to relax or to relieve stress. The Atari we have in our room helps relieve the tensions of school by blow- ing up the rock formations! said Amy Schabacker. Com- pact disc players were a new electronic toy craze on campus. Renting movies not only pro- vided a great way to get to- gether with friends, but it was much cheaper than going to see a movie. With the addition of a video store in the new shopping center across from Hood, many students got good use out of their VCRs. Hood students proved that not only kids liked to play with toys — college students needed them too. — Marcia Bailee;. MICRO TOY. Junior Dawn Calver works on her computer.
