There was some extraordinary and in- teresting answers. Sylvestor Stallone led the way in the actors’ depart- ment with the largest tally of votes while Lee Majors followed a close second. Many other actors were mentioned such as Scott Baio, Burt Reynolds, Tom Selleck, Dwight Scultz, and Mr. T. In the actress column Heather Thomas and Bo Derek took the unanimous decision over the com- petition. Also, Heather Locklear, Victoria Principal, Linda Evans, and Jaclyn Smith were mentioned. The next question that was asked was who is your favorite musical group? In this category it ranged from hard rock to country rock. In the country rock column Alabama led the way while the Oak Ridge Boys struggled for a close second. Is the intensity of the music rose the more votes appeared. The middle groups consisted of Duran Duran, Michael Jackson, Styx, and Air Supply while the hard rock overwhelmed with Men at Work and Def Leppard leading the way. dirst lAJhitney $anh and dJrudt 3 3rd £T' Cdheitnut; 7tli Of C heitnut — Atlantic, dowa 16 Seventh Grade

 J4ere domed the diadd of Look out high school. Here comes the class of '88! There were some split opinions on how people think they will like high school. Some are looking forward to it while others wish to stay in junior high. After interviewing several eighth grade students it was apparent that Quiet Riot was the favorite of this class. Men at Work ran a close sec- ond. In the category of T.V. shows, General Hospital and A-Team tied although there were many other shows listed. Math and science were the favorite classes. Jolene Kirchoff said she enjoyed math because, It's fun and you learn alot. Movies ranged from Return of the Jedi to E.T. to Vacation. Rocky III took the honors of being the most popular film. It seems that no one agreed on the favorite song of '83. The songs were from Quiet Riot (Metal Health, Come on Feel the Noize), Duran Duran (Union of the Snake), David Bowie (Let's Dance), and Billy Joel (Uptown Girl). Ann VanAernam, Jolene Kirchoff, and Lois Behren all agreed that Christopher Atkins was their favorite actor. Other girls wrote Rob Lowe, Sylvester Stallone, and Burt Reynolds. The favorite of the boys were Mr. T, James Bond, Christy Brinkley, George Burns, and Burt Reynolds. Kylee Muzney Jody Nielsen Aaron Paulsen Matt Petersen, Mary Hansen, Ann VanAernam, Jolene Kirchoff, and Tim Huegerich all enjoy watching T.V. in their spare time. Daren Lauritsen, Tracy Venteicher, and Tim Huegerich all enjoyed riding three wheelers in their free time. There were a wide variety of video games named as favorites. They include Firepower pin- ball, Dig-Dug, Pac-man, Centipede, Frogger, Dragons Lair, and Donkey Kong. The overall vote on favorite foods went to piz- za. Seafood was the next favorite food.

And in most cases there was a popular de- mand from the phrase, It's about ten times more exciting than grade school, stated by Kevin Lauridsen. Overall, the 7th grade kids par- ticularly liked it alot better than grade school. The final question that was popped was the one concerning which class was their favorite. Mr. Tjaden's geography class took top honors. It was a unanimous deci- sion, while Mr. Best's life science class and Mrs. Leinen's art class took a solid second place. All in all the 7th grade kids at E.H.S. really seem to be enjoying their year. Some like the sports, some like the variety, but it was best put by Brandy Sorenson who 1 responded, It's more challenging and you get more activities to do and you don't get treated so much like a kid. 1) Jason V., Matt P., Kevin L., Daren L., Shawn O., and Jason J. enjoy a basketball game. 2) Jackie Boyd and Kelly Van Aernam pose before the student council Christmas tree. 3) Michelle K. and Staci D. show off their finery at the junior high dance in March.
