You have met us daily here on the wild, wild west side deep in Cowboy territory. Some of you arrived each morning in your familiar yellow stagecoaches to greet us at the water holes or to spend time with us grubbin ' in the chuck wagon or even to swap tales as we congregated in the old outhouses to send smoke sig- nals. left-Dota, Uhlar, Dechellis, Mikula, Not pictured-Rantamaki, Logorda above, A.

1 982 - filled with memories of headaches and heartaches; the big and the bad, the small and the meek. Those who looked good and those good-looking who made it somewhere. When Reagan ' s wife made the news more than he did, and picking out the White House china was as big a laugh as the budget proposal was to the Democrats. Whose face was most-admired and considered so macho, but Tom Selleck- alias Magnum P.I.? The tragic deaths of super-star Natalie Wood and super-comedian John Belushi. Pryor on fire made a come-back and made it big. Gala festivities as only the rich can do. The Royal Wedding came into our homes and the British capt ured Americans once more. Who from this royal union came forth a son and heir to the British throne h« the Prince and Princess of Wales. The assasination of Egypt ' s president, Anwar Sadat, and the not-guilty-by-reason-of-insanity verdict stated to John Hinckly Jr. ' s assasination attempt on President Reagan. More lay-offs hit the nation and in our own valley, many succumbed to the closing of the steel mills. The iron works which had once brought life and prosperity as it rolled out tons of steel, was knocked to the ground. ....... 2-j. r ll ..:-x: „ an TOT imuciifra ' fini Leaky roofs gave way to concerning underworld coUaborations. And the ground had seen battle, as Britain and Argentina feu Islands. A quiet dispute turned to violent rage, ending with the surrender of Argentinian troops. Lest we forget the smal irough the rat-race. Video thousand solutions which many still have not found, and the Missing Link was found to be between man himself, rather than a puzzling game. Video disk and video recorders, computerized steroes, 1 2 ft. television screens - the space-age dream come reality. Punk rock and punk clothes and sailor shirts and gold shoes were taken in stride. Cowboy boots and leather hats: the domesticated Cowboy (or is that urbanized ?) Whatever it was that kept us together, or made it happen and let us survive, we will remember always, with a sigh, as we recapture, in our memories, the year 1982. ura Skid ditor-in-chief 1982 Lariat Friend- Do not forget the road We have traveled together An d the tears that we shed Do not forget the times We have had And the laughter That we gave to the world Do not forget the places We have seen And the time That was our Dear Friend

PAINS IN THE POCKET One day, as I was riding past the Maronite Center on Meridan Road in Youngstown, Ohio, I saw a sign that read, Flea Market, May 1 6. I had to laugh, because it was the month of June. That sign brought back memories of Flea Markets and Concession Stands that I wished to forget. I looked out of the window and chuckled, almost not believing what I knew was true. There was the time when I arrived at the Flea Market, bright and early, at 8:00, only to discover that the yearbook booth had been cancelled. And then, the time I spent a whole period putting up posters in the halls at school to advertise the yearbook concession stand only to discover, next period, that someone had taken them down. But, nothing can compare to the day that I was the manager of a Flea Market, and the day I went to the Foreign Languages Festival at YSU. On May 16,1 982, which was a Sunday, I had to get up at 6:00 in order to be there at 8:00, set up the tables, direct the volunteers (if there were any), write up weird announcements meant to draw customers to our booth, (which was nearly impossible) and finally, at the end o£ the day, take the un-sold stuff back home. Now you know how hard a Flea Market manager has to work! And then there was the day when I was doing a skit in French with three other people at the Foriegn Languages Day at YSU. I had a line that went, Dieu merci vous etes ici, (thank- God you ' re here). But, I was so worried about the usual concession stand worries (late chips, unpaid IOU ' s) that I said instead, Dieu merci c ' est vendredi, (thank-God it ' s Friday). And it was on a Saturdayl I My name is Rebecca Tally and although I know I have to help raise funds for the yearbook, I don ' t care if I ever see a Flea Market or Concession Stand again! P
