I attend Antelope High and it’s like totally awesome cuz everybody’s like supra supra nice. It’s like tubular • ya know? I’m a VAL I know. But I live like in a really good part of Wellton so • it’s O.K. Conversations like this were heard y many students at Antelope. They tere brought about by the Moon appa hit song “Valleygirl.” which had yreat influence on American teenagers. When asked what she thought about the song, Renae Robinson said, “Valley Girl gives everyone something to talk • about. You can take it or leave it. I choose to take it.” 0 Shannon Hibbard said, “I think it’s great because if there’s not a word for q what you want to say, you just make one up.” “Valleygirl” wasn’t the only song 9 that was popular on campus. During the year, students walked around 9 humming, whistling, and all out singing songs like “Abracadabra,” “Vacation,” • “Hurt So Good,” “Who Can It Be Now,” and “Mickey”. 0 All of the students didn’t like the same types of music. Leonel Federico 0 said, “I like rock’n’roll or nothing.” Elsa Cadena said, I like soul music 0 because I can understand the words.” “I listen to punk music, but anything a with a good beat is O.K.,” said Lucy Icedo. Though students liked different types 9 of music, they all seemed to agree that they liked a good beat. But what did 0 they consider a good beat? “It’s something that keeps you moving,” 0 said Dora Cota. Miss Lugo felt that it was, “anything the students will listen 0 to and still keep working.” the daily Antelope life-and, of course, the NIGHT LIFE. Fer sure!! Scott Guy concentrates on his battle plan while 0 playing Defender. Elvira Icedo poses in front of self-portraits done by the Art II class. 10

“Can You Spare A Quarter?” “Get that Mutan!” “Quick hit smart Bomb!” “Eat the Energizer!” “That astroid is heading right for you!” “Jump that Barrel!” Sounds like World War Three? It’s not. These are sounds heard coming from any game room. Videos are very popular with the American teenagers. Hector Pereda said, “My favorite is Defender. I can usually on a good day rack up about 120,000 points.” Ralph Brees said, “I like Donkey Kong. I do pretty good after a few warm up games. 1 can get about 21,000 points.” The video games usually cost twenty- five cents and can last three minutes or an hour depending on how good you are. Scott Murphy said, “I am best at PAC-MAN. A good game can last me forty-five minutes to an hour, depending on my mood.” Four games to a dollar can get pretty expensive. Brian Blohm said, “Sometimes I’ll spend ten bucks before 1 know what has happened.” While Daniel Barrandey commented, “I never spend more than five dollars on Astroids.” Wellton opened up a game room at the end of the summer, and it became a popular hangout with many students. Jeff Woodruff said, “I think it was a nice addition to the town. When it went in that’s when I started liking video games.” Another popular place to play the games is in Tacna at the Speedy Mart. But game room videos were not the only ones that were available, other popular ones were the home video game ATARI and INTELEVISION. The ATARI video set costs about $150 without the cartridges, and each cartridge cost about twenty dollars. The games had other advantages besides a good past time. They built coordination and gave students something to do when they did not want to do their homework. Teri Hofer expresses her interest in music through the piano.
