Jennifer prefers dancing to her other activities. ln school-related activities, Jennifer Boyle was involved with relatively few things. She acted as a tenth grade member-at-large of the Student Council and participated in German Club. Off-campus, though, Jennifer's main interest is dancing. Having taken ballet lessons since she was four, she continued last year with the Plano Ballet. Her teacher, Miss Alice Willey, is a member ofthe New York Ballet. The Plano troupe performs four times a year. Jennifer said, We once played Russian war dancers at a cancer society fund raiser. She added, Ballet is a lot of hard work, but it is fun. Another oustide occupation is her participation in the Sanger Harris Teen Board, a group of 80 students from the Dallas area who meet once a month at a local Store. The girls are chosen every year from interviews, she explained. We do community projects, such as a Thanksgiving dinner we held for the underprivileged. We also help out around the store and put on fashion shows, especially the annual back-to- school show. Shopping and swimming were other hobbies, but all in all she said with a smile, Twelve years of ballet sort of sticks to you. Sophomores 227

Photo by Craig Turner Fr., by Iahnel's ingenuity and curiosity Magic and mysteries have captivated the interests of Sophomore Bill Jahnel, who combined his love of adventures with computers, which he was introduced to at the University of Denver in 1982. Moving to Garland, he now has joined the Dallas Apple Corps, a user's group that holds meetings on the second Saturday of each month at Jesuit College Prepatory School. He leads the games special interest group and has explained his idea to maintain available games for any Apple Corps member in the November 1983 issue of Apple Gram. The Dallas Morning News has focused on his expertise, such as which Christmas computer games would be best for gifts. In the article on Mon., Nov. 28, 1983, Bill explained that the main problem with Suspended, by Infocom, is to try to save the planet from its problems before the humanoids come in and replace you with a clone. Before Bill became interested in screen dragons and puzzles on his Apple II, he sent for magic equipment that he saw in a magazine when he was eight years old. With the arrival of the package, his interest in magic began. Since that time, he has performed at many kids' parties and at this year's band party. His equipment has grown from that of a few pieces to thousands of dollars worth of equipment. I simply enjoy doing magic for the fun of it, explained Bill. His interest in magic has keyed his quest to explore the unknown, such as U.F.O.'s, unsolved mysteries and wonders of science. He belongs to a Dungeons 8: Dragons group which is a spare time activity other than band and Spanish Club. This interest in magic also has brought about his idea for his science project. He has tried to prove whether the theory of pyramids has a special effect on anything contained within it. Perhaps an added reward to Bill's interest in computers is that he has met his girl friend over the modem, a plus for his inquisitiveness and search for adventure. Sophomores
