Entertainment Provides Pelief Students play an afternoon of frisbee football. Tim Donaldson gives Nels Melgaard some need- ed advice. Entertainment, in the forms of hobbies, clubs, and popular games, is the only form of relaxation an overworked and weary student can indulge in. As new, perspective forms of entertainment pre- sent themselves, students’ interests and activities grow and diversify. The forms of entertainment that prevail on the campuses of Maur Hill and the Academy range from shooting pool, playing backgammon, and foosball to solving the Rubic’s Cube, battling on electronic games, and tobagganing down an icy hill. Some forms of entertainment that are located off-campus include cat- ching a hit-movie, or going out for an ex- citing evening at the Wharf or The Muddy River Saloon. Entertainment provides the necessary relief from stress and tension on the students. Entertainment also gives the students the opportunity to express themselves through their abilities and hobbies. Nels Melgaard and John Christianson play a relaxing game of backgammon. The pinball machines never get a break on Wednesday night. 24 Student Life Entertainment

A Day Off from School Allows Time for Winter Activities Antwan Makoul goes ‘skiing’ on the slopes. Some students enjoy the winter conditions. A very unusual occurrence took place this year at the Academy and Maur Hill. On Friday, Jan. 22, classes were cancelled at both schools due to freezing rain that had fallen on top of snow, which made driving quite hazar- dous. School is rarely called off because so many of the students are boarders who live on campus. Many of the students took advan- tage of the situation by resting or by enjoying the winter conditions, either on foot or on sled. Some of the less fortunate, though, found themselves cursing the weather after an unex- pected fall on the ice. M.H. Students Meet Well-Known Journalist Three Maur Hill representatives from the Tatler staff traveled to Kansas City, Mo., on Nov. 5 and 6 for the Jour- nalism Education Association and Na- tional Scholastic Press Association National Convention. The three students, Pat Prohaska, Charlie Richardson, and Tom Curry, as well as their adviser, Jeff Latz, attend- ed lectures and learning sessions at the convention that dealt with jour- nalism arts. They also entered some write-off contests, but did not place as winners in the competition. One of the highlights for the students was the lecture by and personal introduction to Jack Anderson, a widely-read national columnist. Entertainment, in the form of a dance the first night and a movie the second night, was also provided. Charlie Richardson, Jack Anderson, Pat Prohaska, and Thomas Curry meet at the convention.
