THE 1982 What was so special about 1982? What were the fads and trends that set this year apart from others? The hours spent trying to unscramble a Rubik ' s cube were pacifying moments. Beating Millikan in the PTA con- test was important, but cashing in the PTA coupon at McDonald ' s was more fun. Motorcycles were popular school transportation, and taking time to polish that customized truck was satisfying. Personalized license plates showed the goals of some. Walkmans and rollerskates seemed to be a natural combination. Gasoline prices encouraged the use of smaller cars. Graduation ceremonies were held on a new platform. And Lancers were part of the trendsetters that made 1982 unique. 1. JOHN ARCE represents the Year of the Disabled by interpreting through sign language. 2.

Many Lancers used pent-up energy not used in PE on those two special occasions, weekends and vaca- tions. Some headed for the hills and tried their skiing skills, while others went West to the shores of Hawaii and attempted to find the perfect wave. Locally, Lancers spent many hours behind the wheels of racing cars or riding motorcycles on the desert flats. A fortunate few got to travel abroad and find out about the world ' s cultures. No matter where it was, if there were thrills and excitement to be had there were Lancers having them. 1 PETE COOLEY isn ' t sure he made the right decision when he entered the watermeUon eatins contest, 2.
