the adrenaline level reached while descend-
ing down a mountainside at 40 miles per

is phenomenal!"
Another thrilling pastime for many
students was rock climbing at the Southwest
YMCA's 29 foot high indoor wall. It was a
low cost, exciting alternative to staying home
on the couch with a bag of Doritos. "Rock

One of the most popular ways for
winding down and taking it easy was to
roam the malls looking for the elusive bar-

have to think about anything, and I love
going to look at all of the new clothes in
stores." said Senior Tiffany Tarr.
Whether one looked for excitement
or relaxation when using free time, it was •
easy to find an activity that was both inter-
esting and fun at the same time.e
