When the school's doors close, and all the buses have left, students' lives don't end. We don't evap- orate into a mist after we leave here, we do our own thing, whatever that is. Students do every- thing under the sun and the moon. They do things that would fill you with respect and pride, to things that would make your skin crawl. The point is that they have rich, full lives outside of school. Here's a few of those hobbies our stu- dents wile away their time with. Iunior, Iennifer Sorenson has a decidedly different hobby. She collects old toothpaste tubes wherever she can find them. She had a lot to say about her slightly odd hobby. My favorite is the new Aqua-Fresh Susan Klepise rides her horse, Boltar, at Camp Cimmaron in Coyle, Oklahoma. Every other Saturday she goes to Coyle and rides horses for enjoyment. Hobbie: -- 26' pump, she said. It was the first pump designed, and I enjoy the beautiful colors. I also like the extraordinary taste. Next Iennifer told of interesting stories from the toothpaste trail. One time I was digging in the neighbor's trash can for toothpaste early in the morning. It came time to go to school before I was finished, so I hid it in the bushes so the trash man couldn't take it away, When I dropped it in the bushes, my leg got poison ivy. When I got home from school, I went right for the trash can and started picking through it. Then I saw them, nestled between a couple of rotted tomato rinds. Three just-finished Colgate pumps and a tube of Crest Tartar Control. It was a happy day. I skipped home singing 'Zip-i- di-doo-dah! ' How many tubes and pumps does she have? l48 pumps and 227 tubes, she said. And now the ques- tion you are all ask- ing. For God's sakes, why toothpaste? Collecting them gives me an iden- tity, she said, I feel like a unique indivi- dual, and it's also quite enjoyable. Senior Christy Lee likes to do one thing outside of school, dance. She calls her brand of it 'Modern Dance,' and she dances mainly at the Wreck Room and the U Club. I started in the tenth grade, she said. Ithoughtitwas fun and I got to meet people. Christy started dancing when she dated a regular at the Wreck Room, A She says her favorite band is the Cure. Why do people dance? To express them- selves, she said, and to get their emotions out. The Wreck Room is a popular dance club for many stu- dents at our school, and Christy ex- plained what a night at the Wreck is like. You have to stay away from the gays, she said, unless you're gay! And the drag queen shows are gross. But it's still worth it to dance, because they have great music. I just tell the gays, 'I'm straight' and walk away. Everyone has their own life out- side of school, and these were just a few of the hobbies you can find here if you look.
