Noiscmakers AdAmAn adds spark to Springs Asnowy, 14,110 foot summit may seem like an unlikely spot for a party, but on December 31, it was the site of probably the biggest celebration in Colorado Springs. The preparation began at dawn on New Year's Eve as 31 men strapped on packs and started the twelve-mile hike up Pikes Peak. Besides ushering in the New Year, there was something else that de- served the glow of fireworks. It was the 60th anniversary of the AdAmAn club, and to commemorate the events, 61 mortar bombs and two, 500,000 candle-power magnesium flares were ignited. Before the traditional mirror flashes could be exchanged between hikers and the in-town partyers, at noon, knee-deep snow had to be FOR THE FIRST time in a long time, clouds didn't block the spectacular view of fireworks off Pikes Peak. The snowy summit was set alight by mortar bombs and flares. GETTING OFF ON THE right foot, AdAmAn climbers prepare to light up the night on New Yc-ar's Eve. w AdAmAnfMini-mag .5 ' xhllf plowed through by the men, and temperatures well below freezing were endured. The AdAmAn club, so named be- cause the club adds one new, male member each year, has made the journey up the frozen peak every year for the last sixty and has gone from just five brave souls in 1922, to 31 in 1982. The club has a rigid selection pro- cess, and it is an honor to be among the hikers. Although a great deal of the Springs' population, including all women are not on the Peak each New Year's, they are still apart of this unique celebration which has be- come so important to Colorado Springs.

Most students had enough of the classics at school, and when they got home, wanted to read something that didn't require much deep-thinking. The best sellers of 1982 were definitely along those lines, as most were focused on the body and not the mind. Bestsellers jane Fonda 's Workout Book by jane Fonda Weight Watchers 365-Day Menu Cookbook Life Extension: Adding Years to Your Life ana' Life to Your Years by Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw. Fiction best sellers included a new Sidney Sheldon novel entitled Master ofthe Game: and the master of the thriller, Stephen King, came out with Different Seasons. As always, the fickle public launched some careers and brought others in for a landing. For some celebrities, 1982 was an awfully long year, but for others, it was a fleeting bit of the fame to come.
