Riverwind livens up summer Tt was one of the best times I ' ve had JL since I came to Howe, recalled senior Jim Davis when asked about bis involvement in Howe ' s first summer mucical, River- wind. The small seven-member cast re- membered clearly tbe hours of hard work and growing friendships. It took more than the efforts of the cast to make the show a reality though. A total of 28 people handled publicity, set construction, lighting and sound effects. Riverwind was set up as a regular sum- mer school course, for which student re- ceived a full credit in either music or En- glish. The class status also enabled Howe to obtain a grant from IPS to help cover pro- duction costs. The two hours of hard work each day, plus evening rehearsals for the cast, proved worth it. An excellent show was given and everyone involved, especially the cast, gained from striving for a common cause and presenting a well-done production.

Dating Lori Smith For as long as we can re- member, most of us have been taught that someday the time would come to find a mate. So when we got to high school, we became aware of the world of dating. Although some teen- agers do not date, the majority do. People date for many reasons. Some are mainly concerned about status and popularity, while others are more interested in friendship and having some- one to care for them. Some younger teens date to prove that they are mature. A survey of Howe students showed that teenagers are at- tracted to each other for differ- ent reasons. Boys tended to notice physical appearance first, but other qualities were men- tioned too. Girls seemed to judge a boy first by a total impression rather than a single quality. The survey also showed that there was no real turn-on or turn-off except the use of profanity. Most teenagers judge the total person not just one aspect. Daters agreed that the most common places to go on a date are to the movies and out to eat. But there are other things to do like go to parties, hayrides, ball games, and dances or just stay home to watch television. Even if it doesn ' t work out, we have gotten to know another person. Dating is, at the very least, a good way to make new friends. Art by Mike Verbosky 18-Dating
