Dis for Dating ... uatmg, who dates anymore?!? Could it be that the old fashioned tradition of boy takes girl to a movie is extinct? Anymore, girls and guys either go together” or just socialize at parties. Attitudes about the roles people play have changed, too. It isn’t uncommon for a girl to call a guy up, ask him out, or even drive him places. The thing most guys and girls do is go in groups looking for fun. I is for Ignorance ... But I didn’t know you assigned that.” “You said we didn’t have an assignment!”, Oh, you mean we were supposed to do all the questions?” Sound familiar? Famous last words of a student who didn’t finish or even start an assignment. Deep inside you know that you were expected to have the whole assignment done, but it’s worth a try to gain sympathy from the teachers. Unfortunately, the usual response is: “You’re in high school now, you should know better,” “That’s the third time this week, maybe a little detention will help you get your work done,” or the teacher marches over to her book and makes another check by your name. Cis for Concerts ... On September 2, 1981 the rock band REO Speedwagon gave a spectacular concert performance for a sold-out crowd at the UNI Dome in Cedar Falls. The Dome was hot, crowded, smoke-filled, and LOUD! Standing on the floor or sitting in the stands one could feel the electricity in the air as REO played hits off their new HI INFIDELITY album. The $10.50 concert left its mark: ringing ears, a late night and oh yeah, REO shirts everywhere! In November the Rolling Stones picked Cedar Falls as one of their few places in their tour to perform. Tickets sold for $16.00 and went fast. The limit being 6, many people bought extras and made a hefty profit selling the extras for as much as $100.00 each. 1 A demonstration on knives given by guest speaker Steve Miller has captured shop student Dion Speed and Mr. Wolf’s attention. 2 Food and Meal Management students display their painted pies. 3 Terry Manchester finishes ripping a board for his woods class project. 8 Academics

q is for Boys ... “Those ob-D noxious creatures that are nnally getting taller than girls.” The transition for most starts in junior high, for others, it begins even sooner, but by high school it has affected most girls. It is the “Boy Crazy Syndrome.” You can’t help it, you can fight it for a while, but eventually it catches you. The craze begins: the sudden rapid heartbeat, the heat flash, the blush, and finally the giggles. Of course, upperclassmen never giggle over guys. Approximately 90 guys wander the halls from class to class. They range in size, shape, and personality, but all are of the male species. Guys who go out for sports seem to get the most recognition. Next, of course, are the senior guys, everyone looks up to them. After that, the guys rank from cute and nice, on down to just nice, to just there. Jis for Jupiter Effect... On Wednesday, March 10, 1982, the planets lined up on one quadrant of the sun and according to two scientists who wrote a book called The Jupiter Effect,” the world should have exploded. Needless to say, the world did not end. But it made one wonder about life and what the last thing they’d want to do before they died. One person said she’d pray all day, others had more wild and crazy things in mind. Kis for Knowledge ... Not only does school teach the basic reading, writing, and arithmetic, but it teaches life. The educational knowledge, social knowledge, and moral knowledge one learns from high school cannot be learned anywhere else. For example, the vocational classes teach about future careers, and family life. Peer Helper class teaches students how to accept one another and be a better person. Along with teaching the basics of every class, teachers often share ideas, and past experiences that help students better themselves. 1 Instead of dissecting their amphibians, Carol Steffen and Anita McIntosh let their frogs “suck face. 2 Always ready for a drive through the country side. Mr. Thomas begins and ends each day teaching students how to drive. 3 Robert Hemmer checks out current prices for a personal finance project in which students are to finance their own bedroom. 3 Academics 7
