HOMAY SCOPE -2 SMI HIM ► 4 Zip N’ Zap Video You are walking along one day and sud- denly hear strange noises. They are the sounds of submarines, racing cars, and outer space. Curiosity arises and you find yourself almost hypnotically walking to- wards them. After a minute or two, lights flash drawing you nearer, and before you know it, you're there. Muscles tense as the quarter leaves your fingers and clinks down the slot in the machine. You push a button, and in mo- ments the complete future of the universe is up to you. This is the appeal of the video arcade. The palaces of electronics and coordina- tion have become favorite hangouts in re- cent years for those who like the challenge of man against machine, in creative arenas of competition. Probably the most popular of these quarter eaters are Asteroids, Pac Man, Space Invaders, Galaxian, Grand Prix, Air-Sea Battle, and Break Out. Zapping away space invaders was a common past time for most Alta students. Space Invaders spawned a whole line of quarter munching machines: Galaxian, Defender, and Asteroids. For those of you who have a hard time trying to decide which video is just right for you, below is a list and interpretation of some of the most popular. Grand Prix: a game to show how good a driver you REALLY were (second only to Drivers Ed.) Space Invaders: A game that didn't only predict the future, but mysteriously re vealed teachers true identities. Asteroids: For people who had it all to- gether at one point or another, like Sen- iors, but kept breaking it up. Galaxian: for the super-spaced out (a favorite of sophomores). Air-Sea Battle: a game in which you found yourself eliminating everything in sight that looks remotely Communist (a varsity football specialty). In Pac Man we found our old friend the Cookie Monster (for freshmen Sesame Street fans). Break Out: A game in which you found yourself playing at the worst possible time (like before a date or dance).

Late Night Silence Silence. No. almost silence. A vacuum cleaner hums off in the distance and your footsteps are really heard on the carpet. Gone are the swarming masses; gone are the screams and shouts. Shadows be- come defined in the aura of the few emer- gency lights still on. Down the hall, to your locker, the path takes on a forbod- ing air. What's ahead? What’s behind? You can actually hear your lock click as you spin the dial. The door seems to crash open, and even echo. Now the vacuum cleaner is off and now is silence. What was once a moving and breathing life form, is now dormant and dark. You close your locker as quietly as you can, butstillitistoojoud In a blaze of light, the greenhouse glows in the heart of the night. While staying after hours to work or play can often be lonely and dismal, sights never seen during the day make the long nights bearable and fascinating. to stretch on infinitely, and not even its orange colors can pierce the gray light. How could there have been life here? you wonder. It seems as though yours are the first footsteps down the wide halls. There are no misaligned chairs or tables in the Commons, or scraps of trash on the floor. Out you rush into the night; full moon overhead. The parking lot is vacant and the outside lights make the structure glow in an eerie incandescence. Oh no! You left your English homework inside. Running back to the cold doors you pound and scream, but no one hears your summon. Rain starts, trickling down cold on your forehead, and the night gets darker and darker. Just as you turn away, the door creaks open and a custo- dian lets you in, and you share this empty building with at least one other.
