As The Bell Bings Activity Begins Kevin Ethridge practices his skills with the new Pac-Man Atari tape. Ann Zobel, member of the Thespians, participated in The Yellow Submarine, which placed Hfth in competition. 20 After 3:10 Broadcasting for WJOL radio, Eric Ftuden describes the exciting action of West's 53-47 regional victory over Joliet Central. F t ,l Gina Slinkard, president of the candy- strlpers at St. Josephs, models her candystriping outht. Acting, playing atari, candystriping, broadcasting - these were all things that Joliet West students did during the 1981-82 school year. l'd like to teach acting, said Ann Zobel, freshman. Because of her interest in acting, Ann joined The- spians. Thespians is a lot of work, stated Ann. To be in Thespians you had to earn points by working on set, being in plays, or watching plays. Ann participated in t'The Yellow Submarine for Readers Theater. She had to rehearse everyday before and after school. Although there were a lot of rehearsals, it was all worth it at the end, said Ann. One of the best parts about acting was that you meet a lot of people and it's also a lot of fun, stated Ann. I like acting and if you want to have anything to do with stage you should join Thespians, commented Ann. The usual after school hours of sophomore Kevin Ethridge consisted of baseball practice and playing some atari. Kevin played baseball for nine years. While on the West team, although I played outfield, I preferred third base, commented Kevin. Besides playing baseball, Kevin challenged himself with Atari. His favorite Atari tape was Missile Command, because it's the one that l'm best at, stated Kevin. He had played Atari for three years and enjoyed it because it is challenging and it develops good hand and eye coordination which is helpful in baseball. Gina Slinkard, president of the candystripers at St. Joseph's hospital, started participating as a striper in 1979. She became president because she contributed the most hours and attended the most meetings. As president, Gina, along with vice- president, sophomore Kendra Olson, organized the meetings and parties for the stripers. An annual Christmas party and a mother-daughter tea were organized by Gina. Although Gina did not get paid, I enjoyed working because I was able to meet a lot of different people. While at the hospital, she liked to cheer people up, feed babies and others who cannot feed themselves, have parties once a month for pediatrics, and guide patients around the hospital. Senior Eric Buden spent his hours after school broadcasting for WJOL radio station. Along with Sports Director Ron Gleason, Eric announced football and basketball games. He covered the Joliet Catholic State Championship and the Class AA Wrestling Tournament. I plan to attend the University of Indiana and major in Broadcast Journalism, stated Eric.
