.ge-. ,rum AX are . ..f My night in old San Antonio was an ex- perience! lt seems the whole population of San Antonio gets together and has a party and SA sure knows how to party. The food and drinks are only a part of the happen- ings at NIOSA, the other part is made up of all the crazy people. San Antonians like to physically show up downtown and bump into one another. This would get most people down, but the spirit of Fiesta endures and puts everyone in a good state of mind. The festivities also offer a chance to see good friends and to meet new ones. All it takes is a little kiss, a NIOSA kiss! Sometimes though these little kisses are enough to put anyone under.'All the peo- ple walk around in a trance,.not knowing where they are going, just from one kiss to another. With all this going on, fun is had by all. Shelley Hunsicker Senior My friends and I get together to enjoy a good time at NIOSA.

Good times Life filled with work, also with parties, antics I f traveling wasn't your thing, then you could take advantage of what San An- tonio had to offer. One of the most popular vacations in town was just before summer. Why? Becuse it's Fiesta time! Many Clark students took advantage of San Antonio's only city-wide party, One of the favorite events of Fiesta was Night in Old San'An- tonio faffectionately known as NIOSAJ. Clark students did not have to leave campus to have fun and celebrate. Many antics happened on campus. Students were always up to some kind of fun or mischief somewhere at school, stated junior Anne Heer. A good example of this was the birthdays that brought to life mountains of flowers, presents, and birth- day 'cakes. Match-making also seemed to be a favorite pastimeg at least Victor Grant's friends seemed to think so. . . seem to not care about school . . . Students, also got a chance for a unique kind of fun at school. For the first time in nine years San Antonians saw snow. Many students flocked outside and some, despite objections from the administration, threw snowballs at each other to get into the spirit of winter. y Winte or spring, it did not matter to us. All year long we tried to have fun at whatever we did. -Kim Wallace 246 3:36 Magazine I' In an attempt to gain extra points on our research Dawn fPlninneyl, let's try to get that skiiinstructor papers, Carrie Hanahan, Juliet Purnell, ,and I wash give us some ski tips.'

Pat Greene proves serious work can be fun as he hams it up on the way to French contest. Many stu- dents spent their vacations on school sponsored trips. Despite the rain at NIOSA, Kelly Johnson and l had a fantastic time entertaining our exchange student, Eliz- abeth . . . we were the only people dancing to the Dix- ieland band. Meaghan Kirk Karl Koch and Gisela Triana take time out for danc- ing at the Texas. lt was late in October when the Rolling Stones came through Texas as part of their American Tour. The fall concert pro- duced a memorable experience for all of the estimated 75,000 people in attendance at each of the two shows in both Dallas and Houston. lt was a rare occasion for most to see one of the best rock n roll bands of all time strut their stuff live, right before their own eyes. And that they did, two and a half hours of cranking Rolling Stones tunes is as good as it gets for rock fans these days. Performing on one of the most amazing stages imaginable, six five story columns of speakers flanking each side of the stage, the Stones played 25 of their best hits all to the delight of the roaring crowd. ln the waning moments before the Stones took the stage, the excitement and apprehension of seeing some of the most famous musicians in the world do exactly what it is that makes them so famous, could be seen on all the smiling faces in the crowd. Then suddenly the apprehen- sions were shattered as Mick Jagger burst onto the open stage, dancing, prancmg, smiling, and waving to the now deafening roar of the frenzied crowd. The opening song Under My Thumb seemed to be exactly the position that the Stones had this joyful crowd. The Stones seemed to thrive on the excitement and cheers produced by the crowd. All songs were played to their fullest, especially You Can't Always Get What You Want which featured Mick Jagger being swung out over the audience on a cherry picker encouraging the audience to join in singing the chorus. As the sun started to set, the encore to the show gave everybody com- plete Satisfaction knowing that they had just seen one of the best shows of their day, leaving the memories until the next tour.
