Shadows of Personal Interests What a person does with spare time often pro- vides a more accurate reflection of the real per- son than does any other facet of life. How a certain person gets interested in a partic- ular hobby is a question with a different answer from each person. Ben Feferman became an amateur magician gradu- ally after watching magic shows on television and becoming more and more curious about how tricks were performed. On the other hand, Mark Vakkur first developed an interest in gliding because of his father ' s interest in it, and now pursues gliding both alone and as a snared interest. Another aerial hobby, assembling and launching camera-equipped rockets, is sharea by Van Vegh and several of his friends who track and recover his rockets. The hobby pursued by Carter Reznik and Tom Graham is model plane building, equipping, and radio-controlled flying. They, along with a group of like-minded people in South Bend and nearby Michigan communities, meet regularly to exchange information, materials, and the pleas- ures they get from a hobby which shadows their deep interest in the great world out there. PREPARING A rocket for its takeoff are seniors Van Vegh and Jon McChesney. COLLECTING AND making various Star Trek items take up much of Dan Swartz ' s time. Hobbies 1 1
