THE MAKING OF A WEEKEND The almighty weekend is the most de- sired time of the school year. Friday has arrived, what happens next? The first step is a look at the resurging movie in- dustry. One can see new movies for three dollars and fifty cents, or older popular movies for ninety-nine cents at the Maple- town. “Starwars”, one of the most popu- lar films of all time, has returned the super-hero to the movie screen. If super- heroes aren’t satisfactory, there are plenty of rock heroes. Within the past year, Fleet- Thc Cleveland Air Show held every Labor Day weekend at Burke Lake Front Airport gives the Cleveland area a look at the past and future of aviation. wood Mac, Peter Framptom, and Pink Floyd have appeared in the Cleveland area. Concert and movie prices are high, but the quality of the shows is well worth it. The newest entertainment, Laserium, is a fascinating laser show set to rock. The more athletic forms of entertainment, roller skating, ice skating, and skiing are popular as fund raisers for clubs such at VICA and Thearts. Even the school has much to offer through bashes, dances, and sports activities. For those students with some incentive, time, and a good deal of spending money, the possibility of hav- ing a successful weekend certainly exists. It is up to the individual to make his own way through “opportunity knox.” On one of the stadium’s more exciting nights.

TV RE-VIEW Television: A very important device in today’s world because of its ability to bridge the world wide communication gap. Through television, people have become aware of what is happening all over the globe. Television pro- vides society with much needed enter- tainment and knowledge, but how does it affect high school students? Many students use television to fill the gap. If you've got the time, but neither the initiative nor the money, then television is the alternative. Most students tend to use television as a form of entertainment rather than a learning device, and variety show Saturday Night takes the honors as the show most liked. But even with the inexpensive and easily accessible advantages it has to offer, television finds itself in a rut. What is shown on T.V. is dic- tated not by the needs of society, instead by network ratings and today’s commercialized world. This tends to sacrifice program quality, especially by adding T.V. violence and sex to gain viewer interest. “Charlie’s Angels” holds one of the highest ratings; you can turn down the audio and still get the most out of the show. With all things considered, it can safely be said that television is a popular and inexpensive pastime for all. Many classes use the television as an educational tool to supplement the regular classroom text and lectures. Appearing at six and eleven, Dorothy Fuldheim is the trademark of Cleveland News Broadcast- ‘The Tonight Show”, starring Johnny Carson, is an American institution at 11:30, even without his patented appearance.
