W9 GW 96 Whatever happened to Monopoly? And stick-ball in the street? And hang- ing out at the soda shop after school? Like most of the pastimes of our par- ents' generation, they are just memories now. High school students ofthe 1980's have developed their own games and sports. For example, while a high school stu- dent inthe 1950's might have been con- tent to play baseball or football from morning to night, more individualistic and non-competitive forms of physical activity appeal to the student of the l980's. Witness the growing popularity of jogging, skiing, judo, and karate. Another difference between our- selves and our parents is apparent in the board games we play. While our par- ents might have been satisfied with Monopoly and Parchesi, many students of the 1980's are joining the growing ranks of fantasy and wargames players. These games, which have rule books sometimes running up to a hundred pages in length, challenge the imagina- tion and appeal to the student who be- lieves that a game should offer a greater high than just owning Boardwalk and Park Place. Perhaps the most popular games of the l980's, however, are the electronic ones. First appearing a few years ago, and ranging from Simon to Space In- vaders, these electronic wonders can now be found in any shopping center, game room, or student's locker, and are certainly a fair cry from the primitive shoot the bear penny arcade games our parents used to play at Euclid Beach Park.

arvey Appears At Euchd And another thing! Never upstage me again! This year's Fall Play was a Comedy about a 6' lV2 rabbit named Harvey. The play was written in 1944 by Mary Chase, and after along run on Broadway, it was made into a hit movie. The main character, Elwood P. Dowd4played by John Erosfand his friend, Harvey, spend their time making friends and going to bars. However, Harvey is invisible to the rest of the world, causing most people to believe Dowd a mental case. His sister Veta Sim- mons, played by Tina DiBacco, tries to commit Dowd to Chumley's Rest Home, a mental institution, but the staff is confused and thinks Veta is the one who is sick. The comedy expands from this mix-up. Aside from the cast, credit for the success of the play is due to several other people. Ron LaBondano designed the set. Allen Black was in charge of the sound and lighting, and Amy Reno was the head of the prop department. Sue Bukovac acted as Student Director. Thus, the success of the play was not due to the efforts of any one person: it was a team effort. B it -1.
