sci-icon.: 2075 l'here you will try to discern the facts concerning the legendary figure known only as The Fonz. 10:45 a.m. The oldest and most dreaded of school subjects: English. You really aren't too thrilled with this pourse. You'd rather be home atching Matchgame: 2078, so you send in your android double instead. You give it a miniaturized compu- composer so it can write today's assignment, a composition entitled ls There Intelligent Life in the Administration Department? lt is now 11150 a.m. and time for Advanced Art class. ff, ,.. f,.- Psst! At 2 we pull her plug. Pass it org! iti ti 3 i x .LA You're glad to get here so you can finish your laser light holograph sculpture. lt's really a beautiful piece symbolizing the futility of man's search for life in the deepest jungles of New Jersey. You're proud of the piece, and you're considering entering it in the Galactic Art Fair on Altair Vega Ill. 12:50 p.m. Lunch time. lt's almost as bad as English. You reluctantly put your credit chip into the slot, and soon your lunch pops out of the Auto-Cafeteria. Lunch, such as it is, is composed of a few dehydrated algae- burgers, french fries and applesauce, along with a glass of a nourishing protein complex. lf you could, you would have had your android eat it instead, but then you'd have trouble from the SPCA: the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Androids. 1:20 p.m. Last class of the day and one of your favorites: SFROTC, the Star Fleet Reserve Officers Training Corps. Today, you're practicing Laser Blaster drills. You're a little reluctant because last week a fellow cadet caught his blaster wrong and accidentally amputated his tentacle. After that the class will discuss the career of the most famous Starship commander, Captain James T. Kirk, hero at large. 2:20 p.m. School's out. You get your text-tapes out of your locker and head for the teleporter. And as you press the energize button, you feel thankful you don't have to ride that blasted school air-bus! Craig Boyd Li'i Poirioi in the big woods Friday. School was out. Parkview student Mike Flanigan loaded his backpack with gear and equipment, took enough food for the weekend and headed toward Richmond Creek for a weekend of adventure and relaxation. Mike loves outdoor llfe. l go camping and backpacking at least once a month, said Mike. Once you've acquired the needed gear, food is the only thing that costs. An Isolated camp site with a small, trickling stream running beside lt attracted many like Mike. For what else could be more enjoyable and relaxing than sitting beside a warm, blazing fire with a starry sky above. While some, like Mike, preferred the peaceful, quiet atmosphere of a small campsite in an isolated forest, others preferred the rugged, dangerous thrill of climb- ing sheer cliffs. Clay Wilson, a dedicated and skilled climber, believed, Climbing is more than jumping around on rocks. It is a real challenge to go up a steep cliff, because when you reach the top, you have a feeling of accomplishment. lt's great! Last summer Clay repelled and backpacked in the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. Money seems to always be involved even when you resort to the simpllest things such as nature. Gear was expensive, but since I consider personal safety most important, the initial expense was well worth it, Clay said. Keli Coffman P plle

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.

GDNG!!! DaVinci created the Mona Lisa, Edison created the lightbulbg Ford created the Model T. Seniors created hysterics when they exhibited unique talents to raise money for the Class of '78. The Wrong Show co-star judges were Diilos Filler, Polly Darton, Karo, Tip Ftaylor, appropriately dressed for their roles. When Smiley the Clown performed his magnificent rope chair trick with Patti Lynch, the crowd roared. Smiley, alias Carl Denton, wore a polka-dotted clown suit with white face and a big red nose. His corny jokes were accepted by the crowd because of the convincing magic tricks which accompanied them. The judges, using a 10-point scale, gave Smiley an overall 10. The Dee Gees sent Patriots rolling on the gym floor when they did a pantomime to the record, Don't Leave Me Now. Dressed in men's clothes and ties, they looked out of proportion with small waists and hips stuffed with pillows to make them appear bigger. They danced and sang with the music, and whenever they moved the stuffing would bounce or shift. Six senior girls portrayed characters in another record. The small freckled girl loved her Teddy bear, while one of the girls was a loose looking character. The name of the record was I'm Just a Girl Who Can't Say No. Mary Twedt paraded out with a belly full of stuffing, which gave a hint of what would happen if you can't say no! Some unfortunate few were gonged before their acts were completed. One group of senior girls in overalls made a desperate attempt to get it together on kazoos. The result was disasterously hilarious. Bobbing up and down, they blew air into the small kazoos and hot air into the bleachers! Dillos Filler fDaren Dozierb laughed so hard that her stomach ached. To avoid major problems, she took the rubber bonger and struck the gong. The act was shoved off the stage protesting. In new disgulses, glamorous formals and jewels, the girls tried again, but their kazoos were no more cooperative. The audience hit the ceiling, so as before, the act was gonged and students remained intact. The can man, presented by David Colbert, wore a large green plastic trash bag and came out telling jokes: Some say l'm Hefty, but l'm really Glad. Although the jokes didn't get any better, the Pats loved him, and when he was gonged, they shouted, We want 'can man'! We want 'can man'! Sophomore Brook Kohler said, I was really impressed with some of the talent. It was relaxing, and some parts were so funny I thought l'd never stop laughing. The senior class did a tremendous job. I truly enjoyed it. - Linda Richardson i I For my next act. Carl Denton pleases talent show audience with trlcks Involving Pattl Lynch and Mark Sugg. Magic and fun combine happily with SmIIey.

In order to study the fruit flies, it was necessary to etherize them, or put them to sleep. Sometimes the flies woke up before study was finished and flew away from the observation table.
