A new cordless form of entertainment was a common sight. The Sony Walkman started a boom of mini stereos complete with undersized headphones. One of the most popular singers listened to on Walkmans, radios, T.V.'sor any avail- able outlet was Michael Jackson. Jackson sky-rocketed to enormous fame sweeping away the American Music Awards and with them the American public. One of the reasons for Michael Jackson's fame was the music videos. Through a TV set one could not only hear his favorite star, but also see him performing. Although MTV (Warner Amexs Music Television) was the most well known way of seeing videos, a local television station broadcast the much demanded mini-concerts. Another much demanded item was the Cabbage Patch Doll. People paid hundreds of dollars and traveled hundreds of miles for the toy. A new-comer to the music scene was a group from England, Culture Club. The group's lead singer, Boy George, showed the ladies a thing or two with his far- fetched clothing and make-up. The group also benefited from the new vid- eos. Television shows and movies were especially trendy. Viewing audiences ev- erywhere gathered to watch the farewell episode of MASH. A much talked about program about nuclear war was shown on ABC as a horrified America looked on. At the box office two movies were especially popular. Both ‘Risky Busi- ness” and Flashdance” starred teen- agers, the latter movie setting fashion trends for teen-agers and adults alike. As the new year approached, thoughts of many people turned toward George Orwell's ominous predictions for 1984. Needless to say, his forecasts were wrong. People, while sometimes trendy and much alike, are predictably unpredictable. Sorry, Mr. Orwell. —Lesley Young Q] trends 21

Pen and ink add a special touch Could it be the works of Da Vinci, Michelange- lo. or Van Gogh? Well, not just yet. The art shown on these two pages was contributed by Mrs. Hen- rietta Scott's Art III and IV classes. The students chose what they wished to draw and for three weeks worked during class time and in their free time to finish the drawings. Some students drew still life pictures while others chose to make portraits of their fellow classmates, teachers, or the principal. Those who did portraits used either a photograph or the person as a model for their work. The students received a grade for their work. 'They all did a good job and worked hard on the pictures,'' said Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Scott feels that many of her art students will major in art at college, and those who do not will use their artistic talents in other ways. —Alma Irvin □ Mr. Sammy Baker, agriculture teacher, and junior Doug Shepherd could be talking about why senior Sherri Estes is sketching their picture. student art 23
