make shift The mini-course description entails that classtime will be spent studying foreign peoples and their cultures. The textbooks used in- cludes works by Mikolai Gogol, Heinrich Boll, and Jean Giraudoux. Your last clue is that Miss Anthony teaches this course one time during the day for one quarter. Oh yeah, World Literature. Nice guess. This class has only three people enrolled. Sue Klein, a senior, Patty Carrick, and Heather Lowenkamp, both juniors. Heather admits that she likes the closer atmosphere presented by the smaller class. There isn ' t as much confusion with everybody always asking more questions, says Heather. ' The shifts of fortune test the reliability of friends — Demicitia XVII I like all the reading we do in the class, comments fellow Junior Patty Carrick, Most people don ' t like Chinese or Russian literature, but I really enjoyed it. SHIFT IN WEIGHT You are how much overweight?! Wrestling coaches and parents often questioned wrestlers methods in cutting weight during the wrestling season. The most logical thing, of course, is to spread the weight loss over an extended period of time, in order to put less of a shock on the system. Most wres- tlers, however, chose the wrong method, opting to wait ' till the last minute . The jump down in a weight class can make a big difference as far as strength and speed versus your opponent, and by weakening oneself by quick weight loss, the advantage is lost. Junior Bob Suszek was introduced to weight loss rather rudely in the past year. Last year, I I ffl M M Bob wrestled 175, and actually had to gain weight to wrestle legally every week. This year. Bob had decided to drop down to the 155- pound weight class, and is doing much better with people his own size. power shift For almost any adult man, bench pressing 200 pounds is quite an achievement. Jim Hittner on the other hand, is quite close to a higher echelon; he can bench at least 290 pounds, and is still gaining strength. For the past twelve months, Jim has concentrated on improving his body by gaining weight and lifting. Last year as a junior, Jim wrestled for a while at 132 pounds, but now he weighs 175 and is continuing to gain weight. Jim chose to not wrestle this year in order to maintain his training and keep his grades up. Although lifting is primarily an individual activity, Jim can attribute much of his success to his lifting partner, Rick Quade. Since November, Jim and Rick have spent their after school time at the Hillcrest YMCA, pumping iron for As one shifts, another straight ensues — Shakespeare two grueling hours. Rick is no slouch himself, benching 260 and behind the neck pressing 165. Jim and Rick have a friendly competi- tion between each other that keeps both of them from being bored during their workouts. Both seniors look forward to trying their new bodies out on the beach, and at this rate, they ' ll sure go through a lot of sun tan lotion.

shifting requirements Hey high school seniors! Have you heard the latest news from your counselors? Yes, colleges are now requiring more and a high level of difficulty in most courses. This change means that instead of taking the now required two years of history, Ohio colleges want you to take three years of History. Even the thought of taking it easy shifting styles crossed one ' s mind, it is soon real- ized that this lackadasical effort will not stand up to most state school standards. Even if your indecision of what subject to major in at college still persists, a good place for informa- tion is the high school library. On two shelves, one study desk and in one file cabinet one can find the For it is you that puts us to our shifts — Shakespeare latest in fields of study and the specific college choices. For those who are as determined as Wendy ' Loparo and Ann Vormelker it is ;wise to take time and consider all ipossible options. Every year new fashions catch on. This year the functional leg warmer became a new fad. Originally worn by gymnasts to keep their legs warm, the leg warmers became a fashion ranging from ultra-casual to dressy. Walking down the hall at school one might see a girl wearing them over a pair of levi blue jeans, or even with a skirt. Down in the I ' ll find a thousand shifts to get away — Shakespeare gym they can be worn with shorts or over sweat pants. Taking the whole fad one step further, Jeannie Blue wore leg warmers on the ski- slopes. With all of the colors and differ- ent styles available, one would think that leg warmers were here to stay. However, only time will tell if the functional and stylish fad of leg warmers will last, or fade as one of the many fad fail- ures. SHIFTING ECONOMY The old system was such that if you don ' t buy a tray, you go hungry . Now, a student has literally hundreds of alternatives in com- binations when choosing a lunch, due to the installation of food ma- chines in the back of the cafeteria. Four different kinds of drinks, sev- en different kinds of candy, five different sandwiches, two different ice-creams, and even three different kinds of chips were offered. For the healthy sort of person, yougurt and fruit could be bought. The cooks now serve two or three different main courses on the tray, and a choice of vegetable. The new system did have its drawbacks. The change machine could get very tempermental at times, and would not take perfectly good dollars. Students often won- dered out loud why the food was so expensive. With the open availabil- ity all seven periods, students often emptied their pockets by the end of the day. Seniors Q-T 177
