Building up his forearm muscles with the curling bar, Michael Bachmeyer works out in the weight room in his spare time to strengthen his muscles. Pushing his body to the extreme, Jeff Snyder attempts to perfect his timing record by riding his bike through the downtown streets. Putting the t-tops on her new Camaro, Cathy Cummings spends her free time with the car she received from her parents. 'X '1-, X ,.T fi 5-e., 1 ff, t. f ., I . I ,. v.

My obsession with them is as important to me as obsessions are to others, stated Susan Wolbrueck. I love you so, it's an obsession - The Eurythmics Despite the time we spent at school, doing homework, or work- ing at a part-time job, we found time for ourselves - and ourselves alone. What we did to occupy our alone time often began to consume all of our own private time. Listening to the Rolling Stones albums became an obsession. Reading magazines about all the movie stars became an obsession. Working on our cars became an obsession. Our time became an obsession. Whether we listened to our in- credibly expensive sound systems or participated in activities to strengthen ourselves, we owned our own time. When I'm riding my bike, I want to push myself as hard as I can until my body just can't withstand the pain any longer, explained Jeff Snyder. At times, schoolwork, homework and employment con- sumed so much of us, that we put our own time aside. Or time grew scarce, but also more precious to us when we could spend time do- ing the things we enjoyed. David Hortenstine said, I like to be out in the open outdoors with the fresh air. It's a nice place to feel free from others and to think. When I want to relax and en- joy my own time, sometimes I'll watch T.V. or listen to my Quiet Riot tape, commented Becky Fontenot.

Taking A Bite Out of Your Day e sped to Fargo's to find a line reaching out the door. After six costly minutes of waiting, we departed to Sonic. A button on the stand received the brunt of the frustra- tion we suffered at a loss of time from our already shortened lunch hour. The clock read a quarter of twelve, and we had to take a make-up test at noon. As our stomachs growled while waiting for our food, homework was hur- riedly completed for our next class. Unexpectedly, the food arrived, and the scurried search for money ensued. Finally, a handful of assorted change was handed to the carhop whom we recognized as a friend earning extra cash at lunch. Coins slipped through fingers and rolled under the car. Eventually all of the money was found, and we began lifting food off the tray and into the car. Drinks spilled on clothes and booksg catsup landed on homework. The trip back to school was completed in record time. All obstacles along the way were nar- rowly avoided. At last, the school parking lot was entered with one tire jumping over the curb in haste. Grabbing our books, we darted into the building. We passed the teacher on hall duty only to be called back after proceeding ten feet down the corridor. After sur- viving the third degree, we dashed to our lockers and then to class. Test papers were handed to us as a Stern voice informed us that ten minutes remained in which to complete the test. 20 f That Special Touch Rushing to finish their lunch at McDonald's, Deanna Cervenka, Michelle Miller, Janet Debus, and Tutti Perez eagerly anticipate the speedy ride back to sc oo .
