Growing means chanqina becomes less of a problem. Whether opting to take the Driver’s Ed course during the summer or learning to drive from parents or friends, getting a license is a giant step toward added responsibility. While most of us are reduced to borrowing the car from Mom or Dad, some buy cars of their own. Running their own financial affairs is another responsibility of students. Out of want or need, many of us seek employment. Besides bringing in that much needed revenue, we gain maturity and independence from holding a job. The way we run our lives, the tearing apart from routine, the awareness we allow ourselves to feel — all make up, contribute, invite, or discourage change. Sporting events, Student Council, Turnabout, club meetings, Prom, and Graduation, the final transforming of a student into an adult . . . many are important parts of most of our lives. But as the activities that make up our lives exchange priorities, we find the scope of our interests widening. School involves more than classes and homework.

“Star Wars”, the summer’s box office smash, won’t be forgotten soon by the en- tertainment world. In the respectable ’50’s, Elvis Presley ' s slicked back hair and gyrating hips shocked the nation, while his music ushered in the new era of rock ‘n’ roll. Two decades later but as popular as ever, the King” was dead at 42. Presley, mourned by many, will long be remembered for his tremendous impact on the music world. Bing Crosby followed Presley in death two months later. T.V. viewers were surprised with a season that concentrated less on violence and more on comedy. Mini-series like Washington: Behind Closed Doors were also popular. Another hit, “Charlie’s Angels,” sans Farrah Fawcett-Majors, still retained a large seg- ment of viewers. Diamond it forever. Neil Diamond, popular several years ago, has made a spectacular comeback and is now one of the largest box office attractions. asss 5T4H5!!! Stars 11
