WHAT’S £NEW TODAY? Today is a time to become in- volved in activities at school, at home and in the community. The year '82 brought changes in trans- portation; the three wheeler gained popularity especially during the snow. Video games are the “rage of the time.” Once in a life time Gur- don made the papers and TV by being the overall State Basketball Champions. Computer courses placed our curriculum far above other surrounding schools. Ever changing styles are worn in order to be fashionable. These are a few of the things that are new today. Spring Fling activities introduce Mr. Joel Sullivan to the jail. New student. Tom Parker, helps with the pulling of the bucking barrel. Pac-Man is the most popular of the new video games. 4 Opening
