Pitch it, or keep it? Mailboxes stuffed with unwonted advertisements, or junkmoil, was o familiar and sometimes frustrating sight to everyone, and especially to high school seniors. Seniors received junk moll from colleges or business schools from oil over the country. It usually ended up being thrown owoy without ever being opened. Some Seniors received bushel boskets of moil, while others were lucky, and only obtained o couple of let- ters. A small survey showed thot most students shoved the unwonted moll In their closets, In a BIG box.

Besides college and busi- ness schools, junkmoil come from the Armed Forces, financial aid deportments, ond UJho's UUho in America. Another populor form of junkmoil were the sweep- stakes. They come from Reader's Digest. Publisher's Clearinghouse ond American Family. They offered cars, houses, exotic trips ond money for o lifetime. Some students did enter, but, unfortunately, no one from Neumann ever won more than ten cents. Though most of the junk- moil went from the mailbox to the gorboge con some survived. It was these lucky letters which directed most students' careers. Extravaganza premiers €xetreoveaeganezo - n: o literary or musical work, marked by extreme freedom of style ond structure.

Mementoes cost bucks Springsteen, Von Helen, The Cors, Prince and the Revolution and The Jacksons uuere just a feuu of the big concerts which students went to. They were great sources of entertainment, but unfortunately they were also expensive. Tickets ranged anywhere from $7.00 (Huey Lewis and The News) to $30.00 (The Jacksons). The tickets were just the beginning. After orriving ot the concert, tour merchandise was a must on concert goers' lists. There ore two types of concerts, general admission, and the advanced plan. To some the general admission concerts ore the best, because you might be ot the front row. UUhile others hoted this, because they disliked being smothered by the fons. I don't like feeling like o sordine, and getting spit on by other people. Another big problem was being carried over the thousands of fans, as stated by Senior Tina Masek. On the other hand some students liked the advanced plan. This way you could come ot anytime, and be asured of your seats. The biggest concerts of this year, in order, were: Huey Lewis and The News, Rick Springfield, and Bruce The Boss Springsteen. This was according to a telephone poll taken by a local radio station earlier this year. Upper right: Hacky King. Joe Schinker shouts Jackie Purasek and Bruce Coufol some of his suilft moves. Top: Memorobllla abounds for those uuho attended concerts during the year, In the form of T-shirts, programs, buttons, and posters. Hackying requires skill Jumping In awkward posi- tions was nothing new for Joe Rubber Legs Schinker. His moves were swift and full of skill. He kept everyone entertained dur- ing lunch period with his crazy antics. Hackying was the latest craze at noon, and it wasn't a cheap hobby. A leather, two inch hocky ranged any- where from $8.00 to $15.00. After a couple months of intense ploying the hocky finally gets broken in, but It must be replaced in another three months due to the crushed plastic beads. Hocky could be played in the gym, or, depending on the weather, outside. It was one of the favorite sports because it could be carried In your packet, or placed in your folder. 16 Mini Mag

RIGHT: Julie Wolto ond Jeanne Osmero talk about the excitement of Christmas at Jackie Furosek s Christmas party. Cookies, popcorn, pizza and movies, fill the makings of a good party, and to drink? Pepsi, Diet Coke, Dr. Pepper or any other type of pop. Not every party needs alcohol to be fun. Neumann students proved this by having their own bashes, omitting the alcohol. Parties at the lake, slumber parties, holiday and food parties entertained students on weekends. They're fun to go to because there's always so much to do: watch videos, rent movies or whot ever, soys senior Nancy Pearson, find there Is always lots to eat. One party had a smor- gasbord of Italian pasta and sauces, another featured exotic appetizers such as chocolate popcorn, and al- most oil hod the traditional porty mixes, chips and dips. To some eating may have been the most exciting part of the party. Others simply enjoyed the activities there were like gomes, pizza making contests, swimming, roller skoting, watching MTV, or renting movies to see on someone's VCR.
