For teachers and students alike took part in a variety of efforts to fight fat and maintain the elusive body beautiful. Some jogged, while others tried aerobics for a change of pace. And the more dedicated physical fitness enthusiasts bought memberships to various health clubs that offered assistance in the battle of the bulge. Among the facilities were swimming pools, saunas, aerobics classes, and Nautilus equipment. Senior Bradd Estes said he used his health club membership to keep in shapeu during the off-season months when he wasn't playing football. It was really hard to find something that would keep you in as good a shape as football, he said. But a health club has everything, and it works. Teachers, students stay in shape in various ways Health clubs were fine, but they carried a price - about S530 a month. Records such as jane Fonda's work-out album, of- 'fered an alternative for more economical- ly inclined physical fitness buffs. For a mere S10-S15 for the accompanying book - there were directions for everything from and now take a deep breath to make it burn. Also, there were dancers, joggers, back- packers, and bike riders who exercised to the beat of their own special interests. Senior Regina Parks preferred jogging. I like to be outside, she said. jogging lets me do that. I used to be a member of a health center, but I didn't like being inside' Being outside makes you feel more open, she added.

..b' DEAL ME IN - Uno means one, but it takes two to play, as senior David McClelland and junior Laura L, Bowling demonstrate. Photo by Robert Miller It takes two Have you ever tried to hug yourself, carry on a conversa- tion without anyone to talk to, or work on a difficult assign- ment without the help of a teacher? If you have, you probably subscribe to the familiar saying, Two heads are better than one. Studying for a test is one such job, as senior Michelle james explained. lt's impossible to study alone, she said. You look at a question, but since the answers are there in front of you, you look at them too. Talking on the phone also is a two-person task. Senior Kevin Elders described the difficulties that could arise from a one-way conversation. Causey The old buddy system guarantees success for 'two-party' tasks Either I'd ask myself a question that l already knew, or l'd get a monoton- ous hum as my rep- ly, he said. Double-duty tasks are endless. A date for the prom is a drag without two, and a one-man duet scene would leave most audiences hostile. Tennis takes two, even if it's singles, and a partner is helpful for prom tuxedo fittings or memorizing Shakespeare. junior Robert Miller's assessment of a Friday night date is a fitting conclusion. When l'm at a movie it's more fun to hold hands with the girl l'm with than it would be with the stranger next to me, he said. - By Karen Salmon WHO US? - junior Andrea Glaze and Senior jill Ammons find that it takes two people to hug.
