Local muppol. Goldsborough's puppet, Ebenezer, leads his young audience In a sing-along and claps to the muslc. Sleepin' in school Focus your eyes on the swinging objectg think only of the swinging object, nothing else. You are very, very relaxed and drowsy. You want to sleep. Now, sleep, sleep, sleep... You are now in a very deep sleep. You hear nothing but my voice. When I count to three and snap my fingers, you will awaken and will not remember anything that has happened.One .... Two .... Three....Snap! This is generally what one thinks of when he imagines a person being hypnotized. The hynotist has complete control over the subject and the subject will obey his every wish. On the contrary, a person being hypnotized may well be aware of what is happening around him. He does, indeed, however, feel very relaxed and sleepy. He will obey the hypnotist to a certain extent. He will not do anything he would not ordinarily do in his natural state of mind. For instance, if he was told to kill his best friend, he would not obey because in his conscious life, he would not consider such action. A hypnotized person can bring forth unconscious thoughts and memories which he normally could not. This is called age regression. Many people have been able to recall such things as who sat beside them in the first grade, and what they looked like 10 years earlier. The belief that a person will never wake from a hypnotic state unless the hypnotist tells him to awaken is a myth. A person under hypnosis will eventually wake up even if the hypnotist should leave him. While you are hypnotized you feel very relaxed and seem to have no worries. You are usually aware of everything and everyone around you. Jetter Morse, physics teacher, finds hypnosis a fascinating subject. I became interested in hypnosis when I was a junior in high school. A couple of my friends in science club and I decided to learn more about it and experiment with it. We read and researchedg it became a kind of hobby, he said. He also attributed much of his interest to his father who had a thing for hypnosis, too. Hypnotizing a person is not difficult provided conditions are ideal. First of all, you need a subject who wants to be hypnotized and someone who is emotionally balanced. You need someone who can concentrate and is not easily distracted, Mr. Morse said. For fun and to prove a point, Mr. Morse hypnotized two physics students during class. He used a strobe light and talked them to sleep. The two subjects, Karl Sitz and Greg Goldsborough, were amazed. The demon- stration took about 20 minutes. He told Goldsborough Pulling strings Hard work and time go into being a puppeteer.Greg Goldsborough has been puppeteering for four years with his church. There is much more to puppeteering than just making a puppet move or talk. Before you can place a puppet on your hand you must understand puppeteering through observation. I watched hours of Sesame Street and attended several puppet seminars. I practiced by manipulating the puppet while singing along with records, Goldsborough said. I Practicing hours with a puppet so he could handle its weight and build with great ease took about a year, he said. Geyer Springs Church of Christ, where Goldsborough attends, puts on a puppet show about once a week. They put on ' shows for the little children at church and at various parks. I 1 One time we were putting on a show 1 I l l for some children at a park and we got ! . so involved with the puppets that the stage , fell, and all the kids could see us. J? I But we had developed such a personality If, F l S for each puppet, they still thought the Q ll I puppets were doing the moving and 9, I talking, Goldsborough said. Q One of GoIdsborough's favorite puppets is Ebenezer, acountry hick. Each puppet cost around S50 and has different clothes ' so one puppet can play several characters. The church's youth department buys baby -3 clothes for the puppets' wardrobe. , -9 Lynn Barnwell that his right arm was numn and that he could not feel any pain. Then, he pricked his arm with a pin and Greg felt absolutely nothingg he didn't even flinch. He told Sitz that his arm was stiff and that he could not bend it, then, he told him to try to bend it, Karl tried as hard as he could, but all his efforts were useless. lt was the strangest feeling. I felt like my arm was paralyzed, Karl said. Mr. Morse does not practice hypnosis regularly, in fact the demonstration in his class was the first in several years. I was really surprised that the demonstration turned out so well, because for one thing it is not easy to be hypnotized with 30 other students looking on. As a general rule girls are better subjects than guys, but in my case it d,idn't seem to matter. Hypnosis is used for many reasons. One that should interest many Patriots is that it can increase studying and help one to form better study habits. It is medically used to ease pain for some patients such as those suffering from cancer. It is used often to help women In childbirth. lt is also used to help people remember past events, find lost articles and remember experiences that they could not recall under normal circumstances. Much is stlll unknown about hypnosis, but it is an interesting and useful art. Linda Richardson Lg plle 163

Pats smash TV's Hogan Parkview was on top in every sports event. Gary Hogan, sports director of KTHV, Channel 11, came to PV twice for challenges. One such match was a one-on- one competition between Hogan and star shooter Keith Peterson. Although Peterson was handicapped with a ground rule which kept him from using his outstanding jump shot, he overpowered Hogan 20-2 in approximately 10 minutes. Peterson credited his win to surprise. He said, Hogan didn't know that I had a good set shot! Hogan used his challenge matches as a means of bringing athletes into the news. l get to do what people wish they could do. Instead of simply wishing I could compete with the best, Ido, he said. When Hogan looked for compe tition in his matches, he went to the best. The knowledge that Parkview was best brought him here twice. In the fall he challenged the top ranked Patriot football players and he ran, or tried to, against them. Jana Wood Last naies The music industry suffered a number of losses ln all phases this year. Pop rock wlll never find a replacement for Terry Kath, Chicago member. He died in an accidental shooting. A tragic plane crash took the lives of three of the mem- bers ofthe rock group, Lynard Skynard, one of whom was lead singer Ronnie Van Zandt. Bing Crosby and the immortal ba-ba-ba-bou died after a round of golf ln Spain. One of the biggest upsets was the death of the king of rock and roll, Elvis Presley. Officially, the cause of death was heart failure but drugs were found in his system at the autopsy. Elvis was loved and admired by millions. Hls funeral brought hordes of people to the gates of Graceland, his mansion, where his body was finally buried. Although Elvis was gone, an imitator look-alike had plastic surgery in the spring to make him resemble the king more. From the private funeral of Crosby to the carnival-atmos- phere of Presley's, Americans mourned the loss of such talent. Linda Richardson, Jana Wood P elle G62 F inspired, imaginations fired.

Dec1rDio 7 a.m. While digging myself out of bed I was thinking of the semester tests ahead. I just could not hack it, Dear Diary. I sluggishly turned on the radio, and was saved by the broadcaster who said, No school today because of snow. Now that I have extra time to study, I don't think I will. 9a.m. Dear Diary, I called my friend Karen to see what her reaction to the vacation was, it was nothing! Karen was still in bed. Well, l'm bored. l've got to find something to do. lguess l'lI go sledding. 12 noon Dear Diary, I just came in from facing almost certain death. Do you know that I was out at the foot of Barrow Road playing with my snowman, Mr. Kool, when suddenly a Ie VY humongous snowplow headed straight toward me. Luckily, I had my subatomic snowballs at hand and upon bombardlng the plow, it blew up into a million pieces of mechanized debris. Mr. Kool dldn't think my spectacular feat was too hot though. 4 p.m. Dear Diary, I really enjoyed the snow, but it's no fun alone. Karen is studyingg how boring. I was hungry, and also I felt alone, so I went outside and put Mr. Kool's arm In a bowl. Then, I made snow ice cream and indulged myself on my old friend. 8 p.m. Dear Diary, I was only looking to have some fun, so I ventured behind my father's bar. I got to smelling and mlxlng then, l finally got the courage I won two free tickets from Cricket Alley to the premiere of MacArthur. I thought they were only going to give away clothes and free pizzas. One Saturday my next door neighbor came to where I worked and asked what I had won. I told herthat I didn't know I had won anything. l called KAAY, and they told me that I had won two tickets to the premiere of MacArthur. I would also be able to attend a cocktail party at the Holiday Inn and achampagne party at the Museum of Natural Science and History. I had bought my parents two tickets so they could attend with me. We arrived at the Holiday Inn and heard that there was a private party at the Governor's Mansion. Because my father knows Governor Pryor, we went to the party where I met Gregory Peck. Mr. Peck was very kind and told me about his family and other things. After a while the party ended and we went to see the movie. Mr. Peck talked about the movie and the actors there. The movie was very interesting. to start tasting. Excuse me, dlary, I have to make a quick trip to see the queen. 12 mldnlght Dear Diary, After visiting the queen, I thlnk there are still a few after effects. Do you suppose that the rooms are moving or l'm standing still? I wonder If it is natural to take a bath with toothpaste and brush your teeth with Iodine. 2 a.m. I really feel tired, Dear Diary. I finally have come to my senses and cleaned the iodine from my teeth. So, now l'll clean up the bathroom floor and goto bed. G'night, Diary.
