Irbuckles ' COFFEE Decades come, decades go A dawn ol a decade? Bui which decade? It could lx; any century from the late 1700’s to just a few decades ago. Several ( 1IS students vis- ited t he Red I louse (ant i- ques, soda fountain and mus(;um) in October. The establishment was a bank that went “under” during the Depression days. Each decade has a dawn, and each a sunset. Each presents challenges and dreams. And as each decade passes, it provides artifacts that become the antiques of the future. Is this tin; fate of digital clocks and pocket calculators? fg hi id Other Decades 3

Yes, ‘That’s Entertainment’ When Bob Dylan wrote, “Times They are a Changin’ ” was it a comment on society as he knew it, or a prophecy for the 1970s? Because “a changin’ ” we did! For example, from the beginning to the end of this past decade, change has dealt a death blow to school events and activities. Amid the unrest of the late 1960s, teens still held to traditional ways of expressing activi- ties. Homecoming, dances, proms, mardi gras and sen- ior trips remained high on the student’s list of priori- ties. However, the “dawn of the 80s” finds us with little direction or interest in tradi- tional activities. If this has changed, then where are we heading? The center of the student’s social life has been continu- ally drifting away from the school. Traditional values (even pride in the school) have been discarded by some. It is even tough to “get up” a good cheer block for Homecoming or sectional. This might be fine for the student following the trend, but what is happening to the traditionally active student? The athlete? The Club mem- ber? The student who has been somewhat intimidated by those who “put down” school activities? What do the 1980s have in store for schools and students? Some suggest that the pendulum is swinging back to more school oriented activities. However, from what we can see there is little evidence of a trend in this direction.
