Although some students found that school was all the activity they needed, many discovered that an outside interest actually added to their lives. Laura Protextor, a senior who became involved in politics as a sophomore, said, I enjoy it for one, but I also believe it is important to know what is going on in government. It's one of the few ways I feel I can make a differencef, Politics was not the only outside activity in which stu- dents showed enthusiasm. A member of the Colorado Youth Symphony Orchestra, Sr. Sherry Scheer, said, I became involved because I enjoy music and playing in a musical ensemble where everyone involved is working to- wards the same goalf, Several teachers were also enthusiastic about students taking an interest in something outside of school. When you see that you can make a difference, you start standing up for yourself in class and fight for an education. You don,t just sit there taking notes, said Bliss. But Jr. Jennifer McQuaid summed it up best when she said, Active minds and active interests go hand in hand.

You gotta be 18 to .- fri k.:. . Shelley wilill IN AN ATTEMPT to carry as much beer as is humanly possible, Sr. Greg Carlson is bur- dened by two and a half cases of his favorite beverage. BUT. . .OFFlCER, l've never seen that beer before in my life. An unidentified underage student surrendered the beer in his possession to an APD officer before Air Band. QUCNCH IA THIRST The senior year was a year of change. By the age of 18, many students had their own car, new freedoms, and an incredible urge to drink their own weight in beer. According to Colorado law, one must be at least 18 years of age to purchase 3.2 percent alcoholic beverages. Because of this, many seniors look forward with hopeful anticipation to the day when they could legally', pur- chase alcoholic refreshments. Sr. Dave Thompson said, 'Tm already saving my money, and I'm barely 177 The drinking age of 18 has been in effect in Colorado since the end of prohibition, but recently there was an attempt to change the law. A proposal to raise the drink- ing age from 18 to 21 met with much opposition in the state legislature. The federal government threatened to take away five percent of the total highway taxes unless Colorado would agree to raise the age. However, Colorado turned down millions in highway funds in order to keep the drinking age the same. Sr. Simona Goldin said, The federal government had no right to try to blackmail the states into submission. Iim happy our state had the guts to stand up for our rights ,.,' For now, at least, seniors are safe in the knowledge that at the age of 18 they are still able to purchase as much alcohol as their little hearts desire. 1 Seniors
