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.

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.

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©

Tray Chic After visiting the illustri- ous Bay High cafeteria, stu- dents noticed an increase of people in the lines because of two popular changes. A salad bar was added at the end of last year, and the students seemed to like it. I don't have a salad every- day, but it is really great change from a hot meal or a sandwich, stated Dede Buckholz. Approximately 200 salads were sold each week. The salad bar has not been making a large profit, not losing money, but has been breaking even. The milkshake machine, added in the fall, offered students a new drink for 40$. Also because of state regulations, the milkshake Because she doesn't like the plate lunch.

They taste good and 40$ is a fair price, com- mented Sue Hammer. Both of these improve- ments can be credited to John Cavalier, Bay schools' business manager, who han- dled the in Uation of the salad bar and the shake machine. Credit for the milkshakes can also be giv- en to Student Congress who originally came up with the idea. Fired up over Pink Slips About one-third of the way through the school year, every student received a pink sheet of paper dur- ing homeroom. The purpose of these sheets was to deter- mine how many of the stu- dent's parents worked for the government, because the school received a cer- After waiting two weeks past the due date (or students to return their federal forms.

Unfortunately, for most the students, the forms were a bother. If students hadn't turned their little pink sheets in, they were sent home to get them or they were called to the office. Ellen Cuthbert said, They called me to the office because I hadn't turned my sheet in. They just asked me if my dad worked for the government and I said no.” Out ot Line
