Reaching out for more E, ach student’s day began at 8 a.m., but it didn’t necessarily end at 2:35 p.m. Grades, report cards, tests, and homework were just a few aspects of being a student, but that wasn’t all. There were football games and dances for a few laughs and time was spent developing old talents or exploring a new one. Students got together with friends at Moir Park. Some devoted themselves to putting on plays such as Annie Get Your Gun and Scapino. Others put out an effort to attend them. They strove to reach their goals however large or small they were. 6 • Student life

Memories of Moir... w ith a limited budget, where could students go to relax, socialize, get crazy, or just get away from it all? With five miles of nature walks, two ball fields, an iceskating and hockey rink, picnic areas, and various playground apparatus, the 25 acres of Moir Park could not be overlooked. Moir, located at 104 and Morgan Avenue South, was the spot to relive long-forgotten childhood activities as well as participate in some traditionally more grown-up fun. For the young at heart, there was swinging, sliding, and enjoying an upside-down view of the world from the monkey bars. Others chose to replace sand fights with touch football or a soccer game. The biggest Moir advantage was that no money was needed to get away from the mayhem of everyday life. A few friends, a makeshift picnic of Doritos and Rondo, a little imagination, and the park’s informal atmosphere turned into an easy, uninhibited good time. No one could help but escape with some memories after an adventure in Moir Park. Page 8 — Top: Re-experiencing her childhood fun is Linda Brick.
