 Trapping is the answer to your wildest dream. -Junior, Chad Stoffels. Cutting Loose Students use their imagination in new sports. Aside from homework and never-ending extra-curricular activities many students at MWMS found time to enjoy various outdoor activities. From motocross and waterskiing to skateboarding and stickball, these adventurers were never at a loss for anything to do. Whether the sports were public events or just played with friends, all found fun ways to fill their leisure time. Some of these activities were quite expensive such as motocross, which can cost up to two thousand dollars. Then there were other pastimes like skateboarding, in which the only investment is the skateboard itself and some padding. Then all one needs is a flat skating surface. Biking was the number one outside sport chosen by Mound Westonka students. ' Biking is one of the best ways to get in shape,” confirms senior Nicole Bergeron. She biked everyday last summer and enjoyed it. That's the great thing about biking, a good workout while still having fun. Living on Lake Minnetonka means a wide spectrum of water sports. The most popular was waterskiing. One could do this just about anywhere where there's water, of course. Another exciting sport was sail boarding. One could take lessons or experiment on his own. All that was needed was a bay without boaters and a strong breeze. Yes, everyone discovered different ways to occupy their free time. From biking to waterskiing, student's tastes shared a variety of interest and personality.

R.ancJ R. Making the most of free time. After putting up with six classes a day and homework every night for five days, the most looked forward to sound in the world is the tone at 2:00pm on a Friday. It is the tone that ends our suffering for forty-eight hours. The long anticipated weekend has arrived! What does one do? Some enjoy renting a couple videos and inviting friends over. Some of the most popular rentals this year were The Untouchables, Platoon and. Crocodile Dundee. Every now and then one might go out to see a film like Dirty Dancing, Full Metal Jacket or The Lost Boys. A majority of spirited students party hearty Friday night. Some go to the football games, while others just go to the football party. If the Mohawks win, then the party is a re ji uiasi, run of happy jocks and cheerleaders. If one doesn't sleep through Saturday beacause of Friday night's party, one might go out on a date if he has a sweetheart. A popular spot to take a date and still have enough money is The Dock at Excelsior. It only costs a buck fifty to get in. Then comes Sunday, the day intended for rest. Rest! Rest is sitting in front of the T.V. and consuming Cool Ranch Doritos and Coca-Cola while absorbing football stats and plays. Those who don't like football, sleep in and do their homework to prepare for another week of the torture in grueling classes with loads of homework. But Friday is only five days away. If one can hold out till then, he'll have another forty-eight hours. I like going Uptown and watching all the different types of people. -Sophomore, Lisa Bjomstad.
