movies a w :: HEAVEN CAN WAIT national Lampoon's Animal House. Heaven Can Wait. Rocky Horror Picture Show and Grease were four of the top movies that captured the audience's attention this past year. Heaven Can Wait starred Warren Beatty and Julie Christie. Joe Pendleton, a pro football player, had his life taken before it was supposed to have been. A new angel in heaven had made the mistake so he corrected it by putting Joe's spirit in another man's body. Becoming the rich Leo Farnsworth. Joe trained himself for football and bought the L.A. Rams, his original team, so he could play in the Super Bowl game. Death hit twice as Farnsworth was killed and Beatty was switched to the body of an L.A. Ram quarterback. Senior Shellie Meyers felt Heaven Can Wait was the best movie. She added that Warren Beatty was an outstanding actor and very good looking. Rocky Horror is a movie you can really get in to. Toga parties, road trips, the mayor's daughter, the dean's wife, the R.O.T.C. horse. Otis Day and the Nights and the food fights were all a part of Animal House. John Belushi stole the show as he and the members of the Delta fraternity partied throughout the entire movie. Senior Eric Zuloaga commented. Animal House is my favorite movie because it reminds me of the kind of things that really happen at SAE fraternity parties.” Rocky Horror Picture Show was the story of a straight-laced couple who came across a remote castle. There, the leader. Dr. Frank N. Furter. was the creator of a Frankensteinian monster named Rocky. The impact of the movie was based on audience participation. Some of the props needed were rice, water, toast and newspaper. Senior Danny Castro said, I like and enjoy Rocky Horror because it is a movie you can really get into.” Grease, which starred John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. was a love story set in the fifties. The movie portrayed two people who came from different social backgrounds. Senior Becky Ewing said. Grease is good because it is sort of a modern day musical.” 3 12

 USING LITTLE old steps with a new style, soph- omore Juan Vilchis and tumor Rachel Ramirez dance to the disco beat. DISCO I just can’t believe how much disco has grown! I like it a lot, but I just can’t relate to the satin shirts with the black leather pants. Ithough disco itself was rare in Coronado, two first-rate dancers, sophomore Juan Vilchis and junior Rachel Ramirez brought to the attention of Coronadoans. a taste of the disco world. Juan and Rachel were introduced to each other a little over a year ago. liked each other's style and started dancing together. The couple used no established routine like many dancers, but rather perfected each step individually. Juan explained, We have never taken dancing lessons, but instead get most of our ideas from watching American Bandstand. Soul Train, other dancers and of course, from our own mistakes. Taking first place in a disco contest in Juarez, the two were made eligible to participate in a contest in Mexico City and arrived via the all-expense paid trip awarded them in the Juarez contest. Mexico City greeted them again for a second time, as the two won another first place, various prizes and a trip to Acapulco to compete again for a trip to Hollywood. Perhaps some considered them TV stars as they appeared on several Mexican stations. Rachel said. Concentrating is a key to our success, but thinking about our friends, smiling and talking to remind each other of our next steps are also important. Right now. disco is very much in style and very wild. Most of our steps are taken from the 40's and 50's, for instance the Swing and the Tango. We use the same moves, but put delayed action into the dance and use smoothness to iron out the wrinkles. Who knows—in the future if disco goes out. we will be doing and learning new steps to the future dances. related Juan. Also new on the disco scene. Arthur Murray's Dance Studio opened a new studio on the west side in October. With the beat of the disco music allowing for many various steps to the same song, dances such as the Swing, the Cha Cha. the Somba. double and triple Hustles, and one of the most popular, the Fox Trot, moved onto the disco floors. Although the studio worked on the basis of appointment only, it was appealing to all age group; at their convenience. Movies such as Saturday Night Fever are the best thine that ever hit the dancing stream. said Arthur Murray's manager Vickie O’Brien. Some Coronado students, not completely familiar with the disco scent yet. seemed enthusiastic to learn new steps, new styles and a new beat. Discotheques such as Miguels. Smugglers Inn. the Cotton Patch and Waldo Peppers were packed on weekends by many dancers and onlookers. Senior Dolores Veytia comically revealed. I can't believe hov much disco has grown! I like it a lot. but I just can't relate to the satin shirts with the black leather pants. 3 o c o c «3 -o 14
