Knowledge through play A hobby is an activity or pastime that is used for relaxation and enjoyment. While some people only do their hobbies in their spare time, others set aside a time slot each day when they pursue their activity. On occasion a person’s hobby can lead him to profit and possibly a career. Without being chauvinistic, there usual- ly are natural divisions between girl’s and guy’s pastimes. For instance, guys tend to lean towards the more aggressive con- tact sports, rocket building, auto mechan- ics, and hunting. Girls, on the other hand, might choose such hobbies as interior decorating, fashion design, and culinary arts. While sometimes not enjoying the same activities, both sexes take plea- sure in such pastimes as collecting, lis- tening to music, and participating in their favorite sport. Hobbies are both impor- tant and necessary because, whether we realize it or not, we can sometimes learn more about ourselves by the way we play then through the way we work. 58 Hobbies Artistic Arrangement Freshman Donna Davis ar- ranges the dried flowers and produces a work of art. Future author Cindy Barden finds it easiest to relax when she is writing a poem or short story.

The Invasion of Washington Exploring Washington D.C., in one day with 250 seniors can be quite an ordeal. But squeezing 250 seniors into one com- mittee room to hear Senator John Warner is even worse. Though the trip started before the rooster crowed, seniors en- joyed a lively and educational day. After a two hour bus ride to D.C., stu- dents arrived at the F.B.I.; some learned of notorious criminals while others watched shooting exhibition. The group also viewed police-related memoirs such as the infamous weapons of past crimi- nals and confiscated gambling equip- ment. Students then toured the Bureau of En- graving and Printing. The hundreds of twenty-dollar bills being printed looked very tempting to the seniors passing by the printing presses. Traveling on to Capitol Hill in order to meet their representatives in the federal government. House Representative, Dan Daniel, and Senators Byrd and Warner, all talked with students about controversial issues including the draft, gun control, and abortion. Given free time, seniors ventured out to do such things as explore the Smithson- ian and to get the perfect picture from atop the Washington Monument. All in all, this field trip expanded the governmental knowledge of each student and proved to be fun and exciting in the process. Pretty as a postcard. The Capitol was visited by students. Here students head to the Russell Building to see Harry Byrd. 60 Washing D.C. trip @ eae @ q. ry oe AG +, «, ¢, . en Y oF 44s vex
