The Year Of The Yoke The Senior Class of 1982 was polled mid-year to find out their favorite and least favorite past-times in the everyday life of a Vokie. Music plays an important part of our lives. Various tastes apply to various groups of people. Led Zeppelin was the group rated 1 while the Stones rolled in at second and AC DC took third. With New-Wave music entering our lives in the early 1980’s, Devo was voted least favorite with Kiss fighting for second, leaving the Bee Gees to rest in peace with third place. Turn the Page by Bob Seger was found to be the favorite song with Rush’s Tom Sawyer peacefully cruising into second while up-and-coming Stevie Nicks, with help from Don Henley took third with Leather and Lace. Devo made the least favorite charts again as Whip It was overwhelmingly voted the least favorite song in the 1981-1982 school year. Surprisingly enough though, J. Geils Freeze Frame unwillingly accepted the award for second place as Rick James Super Freak accepted position three. Back in Black by AC-DC not only topped the Album charts but walked away with the blue ribbon on the senior poll also. Newest release for the Rolling Stones TATTOO YOU took the red ribbon for the best Album. Recently Stevie Nicks took a break from Fleetwood Mac to release her own Album, Bella Donna, which took the yellow ribbon, a comfortable third place for a new hit singer-songwriter. Devo accepted their third least favor- ite award for their Album New Traditionalist with REO High Infidelity and The Best of Slim Whitman taking second and third. Cheech and Chong had the number one movie with Up in Smoke, Private Lessons accepted second place, with Harrison Ford and Karen Allen taking up a slow third with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Once again we see Private Lessons on the charts but this time winning first place on the least favorite movie list. John Belushi starred with Dan Ackroyd in Neighbors pulling way out in front of Superman I to notch second place, leaving Christopher Reeves and Margot Kidder to swallow their pride in third place. Sports cars were well on the minds of seniors at survey time as they elected Corvettes, Z-28 Camaros and Porsches as their favorite cars. Economical cars didn’t fare well at all leaving Volkswagons, Fords and Pintos to take the rap for least favorite of all cars. While cruising around in these autos, the seniors of 1981-82 dialed to 94.5 WCOZ as the most listened to radio station while many people listen to WAAF 107 and WBCN 104. With much more time devoted to music than television, Kiss 108 which is best known for New-Wave and Disco music is the least favorite while WSSH and WRKO also made the top three least favorites.
