The times they are a-changing— or are they? Generation gaps usually show up in free-time activities. It seems, how- ever, that some things around Mich- igan City just don't change; for in- stance, the youth of the area still spend their leisure hours in simple pleasures such as: walking on the beach, listening to the music of day, riding the 'hump' at 'Mickey D's' (McDonalds) or loitering at the Mall. When it comes down to good old- fashioned relaxation, the most commonly practiced diversions are those which have been popular throughout the years. But for modern 'messing around,' the trend seems to be going towards the indi- vidual and group activities. Besides that, today's 18-year-old has some- thing yesterday's didn't: a Michigan next door. All in all, today's youth is simply doing yesterday's gig with a new twist. 20

Contrary to the popular belief that teachers materialize at 8:15 and dis- appear at 4:15 only to reappear at 8:15 the next morning, some faculty members actually found time for extra-curricular activities. Although much time was spent on the organ- ized programs at Rogers, even more time was spent pursuing personal interests which ranged from motor- cycle riding to ballet. There were musicians as well as Therapy Center volunteers among faculty members — underlining once again that teachers really and truly are people. 1. Mr. Remmel's spare time benefits the con- gregation of St. Mary's church. 2. Mr. Lonzo gets things off to a running start. 3. Wednesday mornings find Miss Angel with a group of Christian students. 4. Even student-teacher Pete DeWitt gets into the cross-country act. 5. Mr. Baranowski pauses between cues, and he really does play those drums! 6. Our staff photographers were finally able to catch Mr. Nowak taking a few leisure moments. 19
