I Q ' I I I ur uit Interests determine non-school life By Alan Reeves he Declaration of ln- dependence ma- jestically proclaims, Life, liberty, and the pursuit of weekends. Well, not really, but it's a good idea. Weekends andlor spare time gave students a chance to do something totally unrelated to school. But what did lVlHSers do outside of school? l spent two hours every day during the spring semester rowing, practicing for weekend regattas with the K-State Rowing Associa- tion, said Michelle Poulin. Also choosing a non- school related athletic event was Jamie Rodriguez, who said, l just like getting out and playing baseball, while dance occupied part of Melissa Moessner's free time. l've been taking dance since l was five. I do jazz and ballet. For some, spare time was slightly overshadowed by work time. Eric De Donder, who worked part-time at Dillons, said, I worked an average of 13 hours a weekend. Also exploring the work field was Karin Lapping, one of about IO high schoolgirls who modeled for Seiferts, a women's clothing store. We did live windows and fashion shows, she said. We also learned about fashion merchandising. Winter blahs struck hard, but there were remedies. l spent my time fake baking or playing computer ping pong when I couldn't do anything outside, said Beth Innes. Randy Stitt's tennis spirit wasn't dampened by piles of snow on the COUYTS. I just went over to Cotton- wood lFitness Centerl to play ltennisl, he said. As for Leah Wendlandt, she said that on wintry days, sometimes I made barbe- qued pork chops, or I might go as far as making some cookies. A MOVIE TONIGHT?

Traveling to such spots as Colorado, Texas, California, Louisiana, Hawaii and even Cancun, Mexico, students launched their long- anticipated plans into action for a week of leisure-time activities. Skiing in Colorado was, by far, the most popular vacation because of its prox- imity and the attraction of the sport itself. Popular resorts were Copper Moun- tain, Vale, Keystone and WINTER WONDERLAND.

For some, however, stay- ing home offered just as much fun. Spring break is awesome anywhere as long as you get to sleep in! said Paula Hoagland. The unexpected five-inch snowfall midweek made spring memorable for those who stayed in Manhattan. Senior Giles Kyle who'd planned a camping outing with his friends didn't let the snow ruin his plans. We picked the worst possible day of the year to go, but it turned out to be incredibly fun. DEDICATED ATHLETES. Members of the MHS girls' swim- ming team show their dedication to their sport by staying home over spring break to practice.
