School Dances Some people would say that disco is still a musical trend; however, with the 1979 sales figures in, most industry experts agree that disco sales are declining. Here at SHS when some stu- dents were asked to pose for a disco picture, they flatly refused. This trend can also be seen at school dances. Usually, school dances lose money when live music is provided; they lose even more money when records are used instead. But more noticeable than the mere fi- nancial woes is the distinct lack of people dancing. The people pictured below are doing what many people do at school dances; they are sit- ting, staring at an empty floor. The people shown here not dancing include Michele Buzinski, Pasquale Campano, Gary Chabak, Paul Chiaradia, Robert Christman, Michael Coles, Tom Cornell, Susan Cunfer, Danny Day, John De- Long, Lisa DeLong, Andreas Dianna, Antoinette Diehl, Ann Dilliard, Jackie Dorshimer, Debbie Edwards, April Evans, Drew Patzinger, Angela Pelguie- r is, Charlotte Freed, Lorraine Prey, Lori Fritzinger, Everard Gades, Sheryl German, Warren German, Donald Gogel, Terry Goodhile, Kim Granmes, Steve Grammes, Terri Green, Todd Green, Lisa Grube, Kelly Gruber, and Michael Gruber, all fron Homeroom 22. 27

The Return of The Draft ? This year. President Car- ter enacted plans to re- sume the Selective Ser- vice System's function, in other words, to bring back registration for the draft. While regi- stration doesn't actually mean the draft has return- ed, it does mean that if an emergency should arise, the draft could be used. The REFLECTIONS staff con- ducted a poll to see how students felt about the possibility of being drafted. Surpris ingly, over sixty percent said they would serve in peace- time; seventy percent would serve to combat a Soviet invasion, but very few students said they would serve to protect the oil fields in the Persian Gulf. The last question that was asked dealt with the question of women serving. The student body was about evenly divided, for and against, on this issue. Here, some of the students from Homeroom 21 demon- strate their feelings about the draft. They include Brian Acney, Dawn Ahner, Karen Andrews, Teriy Andrews, Wayne Ang- stadt, Sandy Anthony, Tim Appel, Larry Arndt, Shan- non Arndt, Jerry Ault, Steph Auman, Donna Bachman, Julianne Bachman, Judy Bauer, Lynn Baum, Mark Bauer, Scott Becker, Diane Beil, Todd Benner, Bart Bilheimer, Christine Blose, Emeli Bobbyn, Bob Book, Lori Borger, Lisa Bossons, Phil Bretz, Dar- lene Brown, Tina Chamber- lain, Linda Christman, Su- zanne Clause, Cindy Claus- er, Laura Cook, Tony Cor- vino, Laurianne Davis, Lori Delbert, and Jim Deiter. 26

GUM CHEWING Gum chewing is forbidden at SHS, or so the Student Hand- book says. However, the school's policy on gum is very difficult to enforce. Many students chew gum regu- larly in classes, for numerous reasons. Some of the more notable reasons include get- ting rid of bad breath, avoid- ing eating, preventing the detection of smoke, eliminat- ing cottonmouth, satisfying a nervous habit, and simply sticking the wad wherever you wish when finished. Here is a picture of some juniors chawing happily away on some bubble gum. These residents of Homeroom 36 include David Schrayer, Dean Schellhamer, Bruce Sipos, Chris Schew, Bruce Roberts, Matt Roland, Brian Roberts, Mary Smith, Lisa Smith, Charlene Snyder, Sandy Shollenberger, Jane Rex, Sally Rex, Michele Schuck, Kathy Schock, Pat Schuck, Angie Schleicher, Cathy Roth, Pam Shelly, Brenda Smith, Kim Schaller, Karen Saas, and Debbie Rindge. 28
