F- We get up early and we work all day Liquid paper, typing paper, and patience are just a few of the essen- tials for this typing class. Typing is an asset to have for high school students. The 5:30 buzzer rings and a senior rolls out of bed to face a day when it is not even light outside yet. The only advantage to having zero hour is that a student can always find a W t tt' ' parking place. e p U O U r ll I In 'cause we like to stay up all night long all night long While listening to the radio, Carl Drake concentrates on homework because hours of studying are necessary, especially around nine weeks time.

I I in if K A Draft issue threatens youth In our society at present, the draft is a very talked and argued about topic, all young men are faced with it and even many in our high school. The draft is a system of selecting men, and now women in some countries, for required military service. The United States had the draft during colonial times and has been used for the Revolution- ary War, Civil War, World War I, World War ll and from 1948-1972 because of deep in- volvement in world affairs, namely Vietnam. In 1975, registration requirements were dis- continued, and now in 1980, it has been brought back. David Alters, a high school student, went to an Army Training camp for eight weeks this past summer, in Ft. Dix, New Jersey. David said, There was much marching, learning to shoot M-16 machine guns, throwing of hand grenades, and extreme discipline. He thought it was good training, yet if he had another chance, David said he would not go through it again. If the United States goes to war, David will be one of the first chosen. Greg Mason is for the draft, and when asked why, he replied, We are in need of a stronger national defense. l'm tired of Amer- ica being a second-rate nation. I feel women should also register, but not for combat services. Lisa Putman was against the draft be- cause ofthe way it is set up. l think every- one should serve two years in a country support system in war and peace times. They should learn basic first aid, basic me- chanics, and patriotism she answered. The draft is a controversial subject, and always will be. Even more controversial is the decision of women registering. What do you think about the draft? lt is a serious is- sue affecting many people today. You could be one of those persons involved.

X Western Teners and Sheplers, two of the largest western wear stores in the state, are raking in the dough from the cowboy craze . John Travolta led dancers through the disco stage and now he has turned cowboy. The movie Urban Cowboy has recruited a lot of cowboys, drug-store and otherwise. Wanting to lead the way , students and teachers alike have taken hours and hours of cowboy dance lessons. Two-step, Cot- ton-eyed Joe, Four corners, and Sweetheart Shaudish are just a few of the chic dances. Meanwhile, our true cowboys are sud- denly the topic of talk at the high school. They are easy goin', laid back guys who seem to take life one day at a time. They are wondering why all of a sudden people are asking them about the Cimarron Ballroom and rodeo lingo. So everyone grab your hat and boots and shimme on down to the 'ole Corral. all night long Chowing down after a game is a pastime for many juniors and seniors alike.
