 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.

Matter of St 4e Having a car is an alternative to the big yellow limousine. Whether one's car is a newer firebird like senior Jim Paradise s or the basic transportation like the classic Mound-Mobile owned by junior Barry Bolton, one's car reflects one's inner personality. But there are those who have no choice in what they drive. It is either the folks' car when it's not being used or bumming a ride off a friend. Mo one knows which is more embarrassing. But one should be thankful that they're not driving the Beastmobile, rest it's soul. It is a teenager's dream, a teenager's freedom, the ticket to the world. A car is every sophomore's dream and every senior's monthly bank payment. Although having a car may seem like a dream, there's a lot more involved. first of all, a car needs to run so there is the expense of gas. Gas prices rose and fell as much as the stock exchange did. Most car owners depended on the under a dollar price per gallon as they budgeted their car expenses. Secondly, the unexpected Uh-ohs always emptied one's wallet. A new battery can cost up to eighty dollars, while a new muffler can cost anywhere from seventy-five to two hundred fifty dollars, for the unfortunate who total their cars they can kiss their college education goodbye.
