xW HAT’S UP? Unusual Pets Provide Enjoyment! Have you ever had the responsibility of feeding a pet that was your brother's or sister's? Many people have had to do this, but some take the responsibility of caring for their own animals. For example, Beth Baker (junior) has a wide variety of animals, including: deer, squirrels, a prarie dog, a goat, a rabbit, geese, and peacocks. Some might think this is a tedious job taking care of all of these animals, but Baker states, 1 don't mind feeding them, because they arc lots of fun to take care of. Most house pets are either cats or dogs. Some people have big dogs, while other people have little dogs. Jeff Hughes (sophomore) has a Springer spaniel. He stated, I like my dog but I hate feeding the thing.” Some students like to keep their dogs in the house while others keep them chained in the backyard. Hughes further added, We keep ours indoors until he has to go to the bathroom then we put him outside. Cats come in a wide variety of colors and sizes. Mary Curtin (junior) has an Angora cat. Curtin states I like my cat, because it is soft and furry.” There are some people who do not like either cats or dogs. Rusty Cook (sophomore) is one of them. He likes birds. He has a greenish, yellow cockatiel. Cook added, I like birds because they're a lot easier to take care of. Some students would even go as far as getting exotic pets like an alligator, or a spider. Pets come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A Vince Beeman Isn't that special? Beth Baker (junior) shows her affection toward one of her favorite pets, her deer.

Bitter October winds froze the feet but not the spirit, as brave fans turned out in force for Homecoming '87 s the wind whipped through the sparsely clothed the rain threatened to fall; and balloons ascended into the sky; fans crowded to Jaques Field to witness the biggest game of the football season. Homecoming! What makes this the popular game that it is? Allison Morrill (sophomore) commented that the spirit is her favorite part of the homecoming tradition. Besides the fact that the sophomores won the money jar. further added Morrill. The spirit of home- coming seemed slow in coming this year as the hot chocolate and popcorn were hard to Find. The crowd around the concession stand was not always gracious as the hungry and cold fans voiced their complaints vocif- erously. The queen and king candidates and the members of the court found the cold to be just that, cold! The shivers emitted from these elect members were not all from the nervousness that they experienced! The court members and others were soon sheltered from the wind by the middle school gym as they arrived for the post game dance. My toes were numb! It took too long for my body to unfrost, commented Jami Shaw (senior). 1 was also impressed by the way the gym looked. It wasn’t drab, that's for sure!

Wild from weekend excursions provide escape dreary week days! What do most students look forward to at the end of the week? Weekends, of course. What do most students do on the weekend? Mark Koonter (sophomore) stated, I like weekends because they give me a chance to kick back, and hunt with my dogs. Weekends are also a time to get away from the pressures of school and daily life. Beth Baker (junior) states, I like to go horseback riding at Caryn Knapp's house. There are many things to do on the weekends. For example, Koonter commented, I like to rent movies and have friends over to watch them with me.” Renting movies is just one of the activities students like to do on the free days. During the spring and the fall there are lots of activities to participate in. Mike Hagerty (sophomore) states, My friends and I like to get together and play games of football and baseball, depending on what sport is going on at the time. In the winter, there isn't as much to do. But students with imaginative minds usually play hockey or ice golf. One student revealed that she constructs snow faces. Traveling down any road on a certain day you may encounter many snowmen. The possibilities of what to do on these free days arc endless. Most students, though, just like to see a movie or curl up with a good book. The mall is a popular place on Friday and Saturday night. There are some who like to stay home and watch TV and there are a few who actually study or do their homework. A Vince Beeman Keeping warm!
