Movies are part of American way of life 'ms manage to awaken the dreams of heroism, adventures and excitement that everyone has The time was the late 1930's. The place s a jungle deep in the heart of South ierica. The hero was - guess! Our hero I just battled against nightmares such as antulas, poisonous darts, a spiked trap Jr, bottomless pit, and a traitorous servant :laim the precious golden idol, only to have aken away by the evil Nazi archaeologist, lloqs. With the natives, under Belloqs' con- l, coming in for the kill, our hero attempts a 'ing run for freedom. Spears whizzing past hes of their mark, the hero ran and stumbl- until he came upon a lagoon where a iplane calmly rested, waiting for his pearance. 'Jockl Jock! Get it up! screamed our hero. e roar of engines mingled with the rising :lody of the theme. Leaping into the water, he swam the short tance and pulled himself to safety even as c plane lifted. He settled into his seat with a h of relief, only to jump in terror. !'There's a big snake in the plane, Jock! The pilot casually replied loud enough to be ard over the noise of the motors, Oh, that's t my pet snake, Reggief, I hate snakes, Jock! I hate 'emf' !'Come on! Show a little backbone, will l777 What would life have been like without In- diana Jones, Luke Skywalker, and their cellophane counterparts? The movies have been as much a part of the American way as apple pie. Kids usually went to the movies on the date. Of course, the movie wasn't the sole focus of the audience. Sometimes it was more fun watching different people in the seats than the movie itself. This guy and girl were sitting next to us, recited sophomore Missy Malone. The guy did something and the girl slapped him. Everyone was staring and laughing at them. One student, who preferred to remain anonymous, related a similar experience from a different perspective. HMy date and I were sitting in a theater when this little kid behind us called out in a real loud voice, 'Look Mommy! They're kiss- ing!I Everyone stopped and stared at us. I was so embarrassed that I moved down a seat real quick. Boy, was I embarrassed! Some people disliked it when others cut-up. During 'One on One', Robby Benson was kissing on that girl. Then this guy in the au- dience goes, 'Tell her you love her - it works every time'. That made me mad,', revealed Ginger Franklin, junior. However, not everyone could refrain from saying something witty. We were watching a preview of 'Meteor', explained sophomore Dolly Weaver, And it was showing a shot of the earth as if we were on the meteor heading straight for Earth. I screamed, 'Oh no! We're gonna crashl' Everybody in the theater started laughingfi A few people were the unexpected cause of disturbances. We were watching a scary movief' acknowledged junior Andrea Renfro. There were two girls next to the empty seat in front of me. I have this habit of swinging my foot when l'm nervous and during one of the more frightening scenes. I accidentally kicked the seat in front of me. You should have heard those girls scream! Sophomore Jimmy Speer was minding his own business when he went to the movies. 'LI went to a scary movie and sat down next to a girl I didn't know, he said. Then, during the scary part, she jumped, screamed, and spilled her coke all over me. What would life have been without the movies? Would the force have been with us - ever'?I SOPI-IOMORES 20

Hale-lronmonger uving completed his psychology assignments, ic Barnett, junior, flips through a magazine to lrile away the collected hours. Tardy excuses are a fine art The connoisseurs of this art are adept at sparring with teachers Tardy slips were always a pain. Whoever needed them? If someone received too many, that person wouldn't be eligible for test exemp- tions. People know that was a bummer, so they began inventing excuses to get them off the hook. Excuses became a game for some peo- ple - for others they were a way of life. In any case, excuses developed into a fine art. Those new to the game usually stuck with the practical excuses. I had a flat tire was definitely the most popular. Students also used, I couldn't get my locker open, I got the wrong book so I had to go back, I was with the band, The alarm didn't go off, My ride was late, and It was my sister's fault. Then there was the old, I had to talk with a teacher ploy. It was easy to explain how the other teacher must have forgotten to write a pass or didn't have the time. If a person was talented enough, he could get away with murder if he threw in an act along with his excuse. My boyfriend and I just broke up was very effective if one happened to be a girl with large, innocent eyes that threatened to spill a heavy burden of tears. A pale face, wobbly knees, and shallow breathing were necessary to pull off I was just sick in the bathroom. A large number of kids learned that, in most cases, a grunted monosyllable was sufficient. The key words were traffic and overslept. On the other hand, some kept talking, when being interrogated, in the hope that the teacher would tire of them and let them go. I was on the way to school, you see, when all of a sudden it dawned on me that I had left my housekey on the little table next to the couch. Now, my mom was fixing to leave so I had to hurry back, otherwise, I would have been locked outside until midnight. You wouldn't want that to happen, now would you? beseeched a sophomore. A small percentage, blessed with creativity, managed to come up with some originals. My mother gave me a note, but my dog ate it, explained a sophomore. A junior who was late to school, on account of her brother, revealed, He told me to say that on the way to school we were attacked by a band of wild Indians. Another sophomore came up with an im- aginative, but plausible, excuse when she said, I had an allergy attack. Of all the excuses students have used, the single most exasperating one to tell a teacher was short and sweet. I forgot. l to .
