Finding Time To Relax Like teen-agers everywhere, Midlo students moved towards new types of relaxation in many forms. While the new fads like break dancing and hackey sack occupied the time and attention of many, the old pastime of simply “hanging- out” still remained the most popular. Break dancing, one of the newest crazes, quickly became one of the most individualistic fads around. Anyone who had the ability to spin around on their head, pop their body into unusual positions, and jump on the floor without tripping over themselves, had the qualifica- tions of a break dancer. The student body was given the op- portunity to see some examples of break dancing at the Mid- lothian Talent Show, where a group of ninth grade boys dis- played their unique talent. On any day, rain or shine, somewhere in the building, there was a group of hackey Life Fads sack players. Because the ad- ministration ruled out playing the game inside, diehard play- ers in the hallways had to keep a keen watch for teachers and principals. Because of the game's flexibility in its rules and because it can be played with any number of people, it became a passion with boys during any spare moments in the day. Lying in the sun has always been a popular pastime with Midlo students, particularly the girls. They even enjoyed catch- ing a few rays during lunch to start their tans. As soon as the warm weather arrived, many students used any excuse to re- lax outdoors, if only to just catch up on the latest gossip. With the heavy schedule that faced many students, time to unwind and relax were greatly needed to get through the long hours of study and school ac- tivities. BRAD GREGORY keeps the hackey in play as he practices his technique. SHOWING OFF THEIR GREAT MOVES, Dennis Collins and Scot- tie Smith perform during the tal- ent show. PASSING THE TIME, Terry Bir- inger and Mark Johnson begin another game of hackey sack dur- ing lunch. TAKING TIME OUT FOR LUNCH, Bill White, Bob Watson, and Susan Price talk about week- end plans.
