• • • PROFILES Occupying their spare time with part-time jobs, an abundance of hobbies or perfecting their athletic abilities many students took on the challenges and endeavors of life. Ranging from motorcycle riding to horseback riding to working as a bus-person, many students found self-satisfaction. Her days of being a lunatic fan have faded but Kim Hinrichs is still an avid follower and supporter of the Osmond family. Amongst her collection of memorabilia her most treasured items include: a picture of Jimmy Osmond singing to her and a copy of the very first Osmond album which she has managed to have autographed over a period of time by all of the Osmond family. Since the age of 11, when she first became interested, Kim has seen the Osmonds in concert at least nine times. She has also had the honor of speaking to all members of the family, though at various intervals. One point Kim wanted to make clear was that, Marie is my favorite and Donny is my least favorite”, also that Donny doesn’t wear purple socks anymore. Seeing her brother perform in high school plays was how Margaret Savas first became interested in drama. Although she has only been acting for three years, Savas has participated in the Driftwood Player’s version of “Pygmalion”, Nomah Productions’ version of “Of Mice and Men and various major parts in high school plays such as “The Miracle Worker”, “Lily-The Felon’s Daughter”, “1984 , and several others. Her drama career consists mainly of courses taken through high school but she has attended a few workshops on college campuses. Spending approximately 10 hours per week rehearsing, most of her time is spent preparing for auditions and the state drama festival. As for future in acting, she says she will probably continue her education in hopes of becoming a drama teacher. 12 INTRODUCTION

Getting a head start on her career, Melinda Smith entered the horse business about 10 years ago. Although her interest was sparked by a friend, Smith pursued her interest and is now looking into a future at college dealing with Equestrian studies. Job perspectives include a college instructor, a riding instructor, a trainer or even the editor of a national horse magazine. Her current showhorse, Fidl Stix is an Egyptian Arabian. She spends approximately 7 10 hours per week during school and 14-16 hours per week during the summer working with her horse. During the winter she attends shows at least once a month but the average is two to four times a month during the rest of the year. Typical boy interest is what sparked Bob Furth’s attention to motorcycle racing. Although he has not taken any special lessons, Furth has been racing since the age of 13. Spending approximately four hours a day, three times a week riding his bike, he has found it to be a rather expensive, but fun, hobby. Bob said, “I just like going fast and the ability competition. You don’t have anyone telling you what to do either.” Doug Druliner and Jeff Aronson have a rather unusual and unique pastime. They are among 20 members of a speedskating team. They were first introduced to speedskating by Cliff West, who once belonged to a Seattle team and decided he wanted to coach. Jeff has been a speedskater for three and a half years while Doug has been at it for two and a half years. Because their coach moved, they must now' travel to Kent to participate. Jeff takes his skating a little more seriously and so he travels to Kent every weekend for practice. Doug travels to Kent every other weekend. However, the boys’ rigorous schedules don’t stop there. Their coach writes them turnouts which consists of skating for one hour in the morning and riding bikes, running stairs, lifting weights or skating in the afternoon. It is just a hobby for both boys but definitely beneficial to their health and physiques. Druliner stated, “It’s fun and a great experience because you get to meet people from all over the U.S.” INTRODUCTION 13
