i? ’ Summer R R Responsibilities Cheerleaders did it. Bend members did it. Even jocks and journalists did it. Though summer offered the lazy, rolling days of relaxation, it also brought with it new responsibilities. Waking to the confusion of a strange bed and droning alarm clock at six in the morning, students enjoyed the unique aspects of summer workshops. As others filled their summer with leisure, these students sought new insights into their areas of interest. In sweat-soaked, grass- stained T-shirt, he squinted into the glare of the sun as he pushed the whirring beast through the tall grass. At the end of his journey would be cash. Whether it be working in the air-conditioned comfort of Washington Square or the broiling heat of the great outdoors, students faced responsibilities in their positions. Cash and education were not the only motivating forces for work. Many students experienced the simple pleasures of showing their favorite animals at the fair. “No, No, Nanette” and “Give My Regards” allowed members of the Community to ‘walk the boards’ and display untapped talents. As summer drew to a close a sigh of relief rose from the lips of those laden with responsibilities. How good it would be just to grab a book. Batter Up. Preparing corndogs for hungry customers, senior Monica Shisler works in the air- conditioned comfort of Washington Square. Fowl Play. While many students find summer to be free from the drone of an alarm, Don Weilhamer, junior, rises early and tends his 4-H hens. Summer Responsibilities

Indianapolis No sleeping giant! Pulsating, pounding vibrations race through the spectator’s bodies. Vivid colors are splashed through bleachers wh ere throngs are seated. The drone of engines blots out the constant blaring of radios and laughter. As May rounds the corner fans are geared towards “The Race.” Graduation and school are temporarily pushed aside as residents prepare for the “500”. What city experiences the color, life and sounds of the “500” - Nowhere else, but Indianapolis. A city known for the speed and drama of racing, Indianpolis has a lot to live up to. It finds a tempo equal to any race in the fast-paced, evergrowing downtown area. Just 15 minutes away from the heart of the Circle city, Warrior students were well acquainted with urban benefits. The most anticipated social events were held at Market Square Arena. Roaring fans, tireless rockers, and the like of Bob Seger and Bruce Springstein packed MSA for an action packed explosion of music. “I think they get a little loud and wild and there’s a lot of smoke, but you always have a good time,” commented junior Laura Wesner. When not under the attack of blaring rock, MSA hosted a different type of fan-the sports enthusiast. Armed with popcorn, a program and plenty of energy students backed Indiana’s professional athletes. With “Hoosier Hysteria” motivating them, The Pacers basketball action reigned high on Indianapolis fans’ list. Recovering a winning record, the Pacers gave Indy big-league publicity. When the hardwood gives way to ice, another type of action is found. The scraping of metal against ice, the thumping of a body against a wall and the shrieks of the crowd echoed through MSA when The Checkers filled the arena. When Indy lost the Racers there was a hole in the sports program. Stepping in to fill big skates, the Checkers were greeted with enthusiasm and good attendance. When the season’s turn warmer The Indians minor league baseball and The Daredevils Soccer continue the string of sportin events for Hoosiers. Though sports reflect the beat of Indianapolis all play and no work would leave a considerable gap. With an assured hand, Mayor William Hudnut III, governs the city. In his second term the Mayor utilized public awarness to help citizens. With the downing of a political year students became increasingly involved with the clockwork of the city and the state. Serving as a page in the House of Representatives, sophomore Mary Warren had a first hand glimpse of the government. Enjoying the aspects of a big city, Warriors kept close in touch to it’s racy beat. Enthusiasm on Ice. Performing before a home crowd, Checker R.J. Johnston entertains fans with his skills. Many students enjoyed leisure fun at Checker games. | O Summer Indianapolis
