The Wall, by Pink Floyd, rose to the top of the album charts during late 1979 and stayed there for a good part of the 1980 school year. Why was the music so popular. Did people really care about the music? Did they just like the words? Did Pink Floyd mean the words literally, or was it just a big Joke to sell records? If the words are a joke, do the kids buying the record get the joke, or do they really believe they don't need no education? Like it or not, we all need education. That's why we are here, in this school and on ■ this planet. -David Ingmundson £? . ciciC- —■ Kicic l Jgjo f Gvtiar — CJu (5 YocM.

MELLOW ROCK... Mellow Rock As we start the new decade of the '80's there are many rock groups that play what we might consi- der Mellow Rock. For Instance, Styx and their new album, Cornerstone, could be considered Mel- low Rock. The Long Run by the Eagles is also Mellow Rock. People have different ideas of what makes up Hard Rock and what makes up Mellow Rock. To some people, Styx's music might be Hard Rock, but to others it might be Mellow Rock, or even disco. In a re- cent poll of SHS studentsj Yearbook investigators asked, What is your fav- orite Rock Group? Runnersup included ELO, Foreigner, and Boston. When you pick up this story five years from now, how many of these groups will still be around? Was your favorite listed in the top five? Do you still own any of the re- cords, or did you give them all away to a little sister? Or to the junk man? Do people still talk about punk and disco? The freshmen in Homeroom 32 are Willis Hough, Tammy Jones Bryan Kadingo, Becky Kaul, Todd Keiser, Gregg Kemnerer, Dale Kern, Brian Kester, Randy Kibler, Robert Kibler, John Kirchner, Bruce Kistler, Craig Klevenhagen, Rodney Kline, Sharon Kline, Lisa Klingborg, Roxanne Knappenberger, Wayne Koch, John Konowall, Steve Ko- pecki, Justine Kraynik, Shelly Krotzer, Lisa Krysiuk, David Kunkle, Tanmy Kunkle, Michelle Kurtz, Edyth Lahanas, David Lear, Johnny Leibold, John Lichtenwalner, Donna Lobach, Troy Long, Jim Lorah, Jim Mac Crindle, Arnold Mack, Donna Mack, and Tracy Markell. The results: FIRST: Pink Floyd SECOND: Styx THIRD: The Cars FOURTH: Cheap Trick FIFTH: Supertramp 13
