LIVIN’ t ie cvee6e MU' Fair kicks off autumn Saturdays : iding the Rainbow or the ;Tilt-a-Whirl, cheering for ;Tech to beat Texas and ; visiting the haunted ■ hospital on Halloween marked the coming of cold weather more than the trees shedding their leaves. “I spent about $60 for stupid games and ride tickets,” senior Robby Jones said. I hate all the rides.” Football prevailed until almost Thanksgiving. “Tech games are best when its cold and miserable,” Shannon Robitaille, senior, said, “becasue you get snuggly up in blankets.” High school football, though, was the main focus. “Renting the hearse to drive to the Dunbar game and decorating the town before Coronado and other things like that made the game more fun,” senior Toby James said. Three post game dances in the cafeteria, not always victory dances, provided a place to talk, to dance or just to hang out. The 11:30 closing time left those 17 and under enough time to get home before the midnight city curfew. “Even though there was a lot of peo- ple, the dances were just all right.” James said. In between groaning about coming back to school and counting the days until Christmas, activities like football and the fair filled fall. by Caren McNelly PAT ON THE BACK.

FOR HIRE at eta cAasupe Volunteers train to help others elping a high school football player with an injured knee from his room to radiology, talk- ing to a disappointed teen about the fight he had with his girlfriend, and playing musical chairs at a Christmas party for less-fortunate elementary school children kept stu- dent volunteers on their toes. “Working in pediatric ICU, I get real attached to the kids, Diedra Salisbury, senior and Lubbock General Hospital Volunteer, said. “A lot of them don't make it. You just don’t let it get to you.” Volunteers found community service a good way to prepare for the future. Salisbury worked for LGH for two years to learn more about medical careers. Contact Lubbock offered teens the opportunity to help other teens. After 53 hours of extensive training, tele- phone workers provided teenagers an alternative place to call for support. Both remained anonymous and the discussions confidential. “Sometimes you work three or four shifts without a call and start to have second thoughts,” one worker said. “Then someone will call and you help them and they call back later just to say ‘Thanks.’ It’s a great feeling to know you’ve really helped someone.” Giving Christmas parties for four elementary schools, 329 students left class early or gave up part of their lunch to get everything together. ‘‘These parties are the only Christmas some of these kids will have, Becky Selke, senior, said. “They need us and we have to be there for them. by Lanna Brown CAREER ORIENTED.
