The Longest Day What starts the day after Thanksgiving and continues until the start of the new year? Christinas! The once day-long holiday has been expanded into a 35-day or- deal. Shopping, a major activity around Christmas, usually begins at Thanksgiving when the stores decorate and prepare Christmas stock. Because of the state of the economy, most shop- pers were looking for bar- gain. Senior Carrie Lemick said, I really shop for those bargains. It really helps because I had to buy for 9 people and I only spent $125, which was right in my line of budgeting. Of course, during the holiday homes had to be sparkling clean for the visi- tors. ''Cleaning for the holi- days was a lot more fun be- cause at the same time we decorated with holly, mistle- toe and various other deco- rations, stated Sheila Cooney. Naturally, there were plenty of goodies to munch on like candy, cook- ies, fruitcake, turkey and egg nog—the typical holi- day munchies. Some Bay students found themselves out of town for the Christmas break, spend- ing it with relatives or friends. Unusually enough, the tan faces were scarce upon return from break. Not as many families ventured to the South, but Danny Marx did. ''I went to Florida over Christmas. It was great to get away from school to- tally for two weeks. After it was all over, the typical reaction was exhaus- tion. After helping my mom with shopping and cooking, I was really ex- hausted. By the time the holiday was over, I was ready for another vacation, stated Kelly McMaugh. ON HER TREE DECORATED with erv tlrely hand-mode ornaments Sheila Sords catches the Christ- mas spirit by decorating her tarn ily's tree. Gone With the Wind Hung up in the hanger, an executive jet is grounded at Burke-Lakefront Airport, facing a two-and-a-half-hour delay. Representing 85% of the 17,500 federal employees, the professional Air Traffic Controller Organization launched an illegal federal strike in early August. Within a week of the strike, some 6,000 striking controllers were fired by the Federal Aviation Administration. Pete Brown explained, I think Reagan displayed more control than previous presi- dents, but he also made a campaign promise that if a situ- ation like that would arise, he wouldn't act rashly. So, I believe he was wrong. The strike left airports across the nation in chaos as peo- ple were camping out in airports waiting, being delayed for as much as 2-10 hours. Senior Tim Marsden comment- ed, I was in England when the Parliament was supporting the strike. I wasn't sure if I'd ever get home. The end re- sult introduced the best safety record ever, for there were months without a crash. X a % fk -ji ? y ‘' -. ■ jiL 4 r 20 —Magazine.

Well, there we were. It was that time of year again. Late November arrived and many freshman went into hiding, knowing well enough that there were men with guns out looking for turkeys like them. So what did your average teenager do during the November Holiday? Well, usually they did what theri parents told them! Go- ing to grandma's house has always been popular or having family and friends over. Some unlucky people ended up spending Thanksgiving alone. Freshman Andy McHadd said, It's a shame that some people have to spend Thanksgiving by them- selves. Thanksgiving Day, as usual, didn't lack the usual parades, football games, and other holiday spe- cials. Thanks to commercial advertising and net- work battles, there were several Christmas specials on the night after Thanksgiving! Junior Laura Jelenic said, I think its stupid because you don't get to enjoy Thanksgiving with networks pushing the Christmas shows on so early. So everybody had turkey on Thanksgiving. Right? Wrong! Students had everything from meatloaf to lobster newberg. Junior Diane Matzinger said, We had prime rib. Kim Van Sykle added, “We went out to eat. So ended Thanksgiving '81. Bay High students had a nice four-day weekend. After that, they had to wait about three weeks until Christmas Vacation. Christmas? My how time flies. Out of the Pool If a student was missing a few credits or just felt anx- ious to get a head start, he, of course, enrolled in sum- mer school. Greg Fife took English during the summer. Greg said, At first the thought of summer school did not appeal to me, but after I went I really began to enjoy it. Summer school also en- abled a student to graduate early. Colleen Edwards fulfilled her U. S. Govern- ment requirement for her senior year by enrolling in the program. Colleen said, “I didn't mind taking it at all and besides as a result I got to graduate early. So, if just trying to escape a heavy work load, or mak- ing up a previously failed class, or even attempting to graduate early, summer school didn't seem to be such a terrible experience. WHILE HER DAD CARVES THE TUR KEY. Karen Fosler observes. Their turkey weighed about 21 pounds. FROM 8-12 EVERY WEEK-DAY FOR SIX WEEKS. Sue Holiday took U.S. Government and Psychology.

When the Fire Burns Out Observe the transformed creature. His eyes are dead and smoldering. His fingers run again and again through his wild stringy hair. Is this pathetic zombie the result of a Big Chuck and Little John mad scientist's experiment? No, this is merely some poor creature in the last stages of STUDENT BURNOUT! How does a student catch this dreaded disease? It's a combination of too much homework, thes- pian plays, marching band, choraleers, and choir, said Dave Daso. This leaves me in a state of shock where I must escape, collapse or become catatonic. When asked for a first-hand view of the student burnout phenomenon, senior Meredith Collins said, It feels like being a rat on a treadmill. All of your homework and activities have you spread out thin. Then some group will start to ask more of your time, and then you're walking on thin ice. It's then that every problem looks so monumental. So, be careful, watch for the warning signs of this infectious condition. The sanity you save may be your own. BURNED OUT. SENIOR DAVE DASO PLOWS THROUGH HIS HOME WORK assignments and college applications. Dave takes nine classes and studies two hours per night tor them. -T. Keane AFTER THE FINAL 5th PERIOD BELL RINGS Ann Davis prepares for the rest of the day by pulling up her socks. Ann's preppy Izod socks cost $5.50. Foot Fashion Fetish More than ever socks were being worn as a fash- ion item more than for warmth or comfort. Argyles were worn with skirts and knickers. Ann Marie Mac- Millan commented, When knickers first became popu- lar, I thought they were so cute, especially with argyles. Bobbi socks were also big, rather than the same old cable knee socks. Girls were looking for a change. Girls wore them with their gym uniforms, with jeans, or even with skirts. Kelly McPhillips explained, I thought bobbi socks were really cute, especially in the summer. I wore them with all of my shorts outfits. So instead of having a scarf, hat or blazer make an outfit, most people put heavy emphasis on the socks they wore. Out Of Lin©
