Not only do they gener- ously support the events but they abundantly supply needs in the athletic department. The majority of additions at the high school have been in the area of football. The team was present- ed with all new, sparkling white jer- seys for away games. They also were weighted down with various types of protective equipment such as helmets, face masks, mouthpieces, and protective pad- ding, Baseball players will be wearing new, short-sleeved shirts thanks to the board. The school board has been contemplating a new or im- proved field on which to play. Numerous activities were held in the gym. The old, broken-down score clock has now been re- placed with a long-needed elec- tronic score clock, Mr. Jack Og- lesby said, It's a 1O0Wo improve- ment over the one we had before, The weight room has been fur- nished with brownish-red carpet and a new stereo to replace the one that was stolen over the sum- mer. Chalk has also been pur- chased for the weightlifters' hands. As the need becomes greater because of greater interest, an ad- ditional wrestling mat is being con- sidered for purchase. To be modernized next, be- cause of safety and space needed. is the track department. New shot- put and discus rings may be pur- chased. Since the junior high prac- tices at the high school, there just is not enough room for everyone. The pole-vault also needs repairs to make it safe for athletes. lt's an ongoing process to replace any worn out or unsafe equipment so students can perform to maximum abilities, said Mr. Larry Winter, principal. The grade school athletic de- partment has also obtained some new equipment. They have ac- quired new lockers for the locker rooms, girls' volleyball uniforms, and boys' basketball uniforms. We try to keep modern, up-to- date equipment to eliminate injur- ies and to develop pride in the stu- dent body, said Mr. Gerald Mc- ...uaunl--avirul---'ri Lifting weights, running, practicing - successful summer work- outs leads to profitable season Summer Sweat Running, pumping iron and sweating - all this adds up to a prosperous summer, which, in turn, leads to a profitable athletic season. Throughout the en- tire summer students are usually in the gym or the weight room preparing for that first day of practice. Practices for cross-country, volleyball, and football usu- ally start about a week or two before school starts. This week or two gives the teams a jump on the sea- son. These weeks are used mainly for conditioning, to get in shape. Get those legs up. Doing sprints in practice, senior Sheldon Sala finishes first. Photo by Beth Brandenburg.

Dream achieved by 'Go Dogs Go' street vendor To be your own boss, to own your own business, for many, this is the ultimate dream. So why did downtown Topeka restaurateurs become threatened when a man achieved this goal and set up his own business? Enter Lauren Johnson, hotdog pushcart vendor. Planning on es- tablishing his cart at 8th 81 Kansas, Johnson began serving franks on September 1, ln addition to steam- ing weiners, Johnson served chips, soda, and Perrier water. On opening day over 500 hot dogs were distributed from the Go Dogs Go stand with custom- ers waiting up to an hour and 15 minutes. i In a story which appeared in the i September 1 edition of the Tope- 1 said, lt's going to take awhile to earn the recognition and for the people to realize l'm here . I hope 'Go Dogs Go' will give the rest of its downtown competi- tors a run for their money. All of the people l've talked to hope he'll succeed too, said downtown em- ployee, Virginia Kennedy. Can small businesses compete with national franchises? if this hot dog venture succeeds, Lauren Johnson will prove they can. ka Capital Journal, Johnson OPENING August 1983 lVlay 1984 Vol 1 Editionf Silver Lake High School Silver Lake KS 66539 Price - 315.00 This Dne's For You -4--1-t....iii i a l e cor er Broadcasting of 'Adam' leads to child finds After the showing of Adam a story dealing with the trauma and horror of losing a child to kidnap- pers, the NBC affiliates that showed the program re- ceived calls from several children who saw their pic- tures and names on the show listed as still missing. Adam was the tale of Adam Walsh, a young boy who was kidnapped. His parents went through 2 weeks of anxiety before the discovery of Adam's de- capitated body. At the end of the show, Daniel J. Travanti, who played Mr. Walsh, read off the names of missing chil- dren as their pictures were shown on the screen, and it was then that the children saw themselves and called the number that was simul- taneously shown. Seniors first luau brings Honolulu to Silver Lake Catch a wave and you're sit- ting on top of the world . ln a Beach Boys tune, that lyric made even Silver Lake kids feel like surf- ing. Attempting to lure the under- classmen into dressing for the oc- casion, the seniors allowed those dressed in Hawaiian attire or sum- mer wear to get in free. The class of 84 decided to have the luau in order to delete some of their extra funds left from selling magazines their junior year. On November 19th, those heart- land dwellers turned into beach bums when they attended the first fall luau sponsored by the seniors. Beginning at 8:30 the dance.in- cluded a contest for the best dressed Hawaiians and also a dance contest. The luau was D.J.'d by Steve Taaffe of Super Muzik. Attempting to play a variety of tunes Taaffe included songs from the 50's. Jailhouse Rock and Houndog 6O's, Surfin U.S.A. and Wipeout , and he also played a special group of 40's swing music. As the dance ended, the new- born Midwestern Hawaiians could be heard saying, Surf's Up! and Catch you later, dude, in true Valley Lingo.
