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©

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.

It’s Snowtime Folks The epic bailie to save the earth was being fought in countless homes across the country. Everybody was playing video games. The instructions on Missile Command, an Atari game, says that the aliens are attacking, Junior Rob Sobezak said. But I know it's really the Russians and nothing would please me more than to blow them out of the sky. Atari seemed to be the most popular. Besides Mis- sile Command, they produce Space Invaders, Super- man, Adventure, Breakout and many others. The year '81 was not devoid of movie gimmicks; an old idea that literally leaped into the audiences hearts came back this year. 3-D movies made a comeback in '81. This concept, first used in the 50's, had the viewer wearing special glasses so that the film's doubled images appear to jump off the screen. Junior Marion Eastman commented on 3-D Frankenstein; It was totally unlike any horror film I'd seen before. The effects were definitely bizarre and gory. Besides the mentioned, students entertained them- selves with records, books, cable, D and D, or what- ever floated their boats. AT HOLIDAY INN. Junior David Karl finds a couple ol games left on one of the three pinball machines. The Holiday Inn game room consists of twelve games in all. BEFORE BEGINNING her homework. Karen Peterson entertains her- self with the Moody Blues Karen keeps her $400 stereo In her room. Reaganomics Blues Forced to pay inflated prices, BHS stu- dents line up for lunch. Contrary to popular belief, it was not Reaganomics that disrupted the func- tioning of our schools. In most cases the domino theory existed in matters of the government; what happened to the federal government eventually happened to the local governments, only on a smaller scale. However, this was untrue in the matter of some school funding. Some school funding comes from the state government, but most of it was re- ceived from the local government. The lower economy, not Reagan affected the state funding and the local funding was hindered by the levy ordeal. So, natu- rally less funding meant a few side effects. The lunch lines were the only no- ticeable side effect to the students. Lunches became so expensive I had to start packing my lunch; it was cheaper, stated Christen Nelson. The schools received about $24,000 less in funds to pay for food. This meant they received 10$ less per plate lunch and 5 $ less per milk sold. Naturally, the prices had to rise from 60$ to 85$. —Magazine.
