Wdeo Games fpell Fun PAC MAN gobbles up students quarters Symptoms: Glassy eyes sore shoulders stiff wrists and aching fingers. Diagnosis: Video game addic- tion. Prescription: A pocket full of quarters and an arcade with all the latest video games. Yes it s really true! Many MHS students became addicted to play- ing video games. Even though the local economy was hard hit by mine layoffs, video game lovers had little trouble supporting their habit. As Andrea Jones stated, I'd do almost anything to get the mon- ey to play Ms. Pac Man. Although there were no arcades in town, the bowling alley and Cole's Pizza offered students sev- eral games on which to spend their hard-earned quarters. The most popular games were: Centipede, Defender, Tempest, Donkey Kong, Ms. Pac Man, Tron and Missile Command. Considering himself to be quite proficient at Centipede, Ricky Perkins attributed his success to lots of quarters and great determi- nation. His recommendation for improving one s score was: . . . shoot the mushrooms! It makes the Centipede move slower. While video games occupied much of the students time new events in the 1982 Junior Olym- pics provided added interest for the annual spring activity. Scoring the highest number of points were the juniors, the class of '83, Beat- ing the seniors was great! screamed Frances Peru. I loved seeing the anger and disappoint- ment on their faces. We really rubbed it in! Both junior tug-of-war teams de- feated the seniors, and junior Mick Ruiz won the pie-eating contest. My only competition was Andy Chaff, recalled Mick. I tried to eat and watch him at the same time. I finally started slurping the pie to get it down fasterg it was all over my face and up my nose by the time I was done. 6-FUN 'N GAMES

Just what did stu- dents do with all the mula ? Most of it went for clothes. Hav- ing an in look was costly. In ad- dition to needing just the right clothes basic necessities for girls included: cosmetics perfume curl- belts nail polish and hair accesso- ries. The male wardrobe was less involved but still excessive: blue jeans tennis shoes OP shorts and shirts and cologne. A lot went into cars especially if it was your very own. Popular ex- tras included tapes and tape decks mag wheels and speakers. With gasoline hovering around the 31.20 mark just cruising was very expensive. But since most students didnt have to drive to the new school some money was saved by walking or riding their bikes. Weekend activities gobbled up the bread. Movie admission tick- to 33.00 a person and popcorn cokes and hot pickles were equal- ly costly. Football and basketball games pizza and video games also ate up the bucks. Each student spent hundreds of dollars during the year but looking back it was probably all worth it. After all it was only money.
