200.Advertising f f ' ti ix! Sl3uXlElfll 4? 17 1984 Newspeak, Doublethink, Thought Police. These were only a few of the watchwords of George Orwell's novel 1984. Countless essays and editorials filled newspapers and magazines near the close of 1983 about the parallels between the novel and the year. Big Brother is watching was the incentive for the people in 1984 to obey the government. Minor offenses, gum duty and tardies were the incentives for students to obey the rules in 1984. But in most people's eyes, 1984 hadn't come true. Instead of police watching every move we made, we watched the Police's Every Breath She Takes on MTV. Somebody's Watching Me by Rockwell was also a popular 1984 song. TV monitors were in every household, but we were the ones doing the watching. Instead of history being changed, as in Orwell's novel, history began to pile up in the form of nine weeks projects and research papers. Mr. Mclntosh sometimes resembles Big Brother, commented one student who wished to be unidentified. Computers did a great deal of work which was previously done by hand. Mrs. jerri Rotenberry, who taught Computer Programming, designed programs to print out mailing labels and report cards. They used to have to hand write every grade, name and course on the transcripts. Now the computers print everything, she said. With talking cars, talking cameras, talking Coke machines and talking computers, 1984 often felt like 1984. Fortunately, this was the extent of the similarity between Orewell's totalitarian society and our democracy.

Big man on campus. Upper school head Arch Mclntosh reluctantly goes along with the newspaper staff's joke about P.A. being a prison. Staff members each wore prison hats and shirts to school one day. Games people play. Senior Marianne Wright and junior Chris Craig enjoy a game of Trivial Pursuit in their spare time in newspaper class. The game became more expensive and harder to find as its popularity grew. 19849201
