“ Alive 4 PHOTO BY JANET RUPPERT PHOTO BY LIFETOUCH STUDIO The word meant more than simply existing. For us, being alive meant action. Even though there must have been times when we were bored, it seems that each day we found a slice of action in and around our small town. On school nights we usually stuck close to home. After the 2:50 bell, we headed to practice, to work, or home to catch Dallas re-runs. And of course, there was always homework. Luckily, we got it done early enough or decided to blow it off, leaving some time for activities. Concerts often fell on weeknights, but seeing performers such as John Cougar Mellencamp, Heart, Tina Turner, and Motley Crue made the sacrificing of sleep and deep bags under the eyes the next morning worthwhile. Viking sporting events on weeknights conveniently were cheaper and earlier, and Campus Life meetings on Tuesday night were free. Sometimes we chose to stay home for radio and T.V. WMEE played Dr. Ruth Westheimer’s Sexually Speaking on Sunday nights and the Top 9 countdown on the others. The originally commercial-free WIOE joined the air waves but soon found it necessary to lip in a few ads. WXKE still kept our attention with album rock. Thursdays offered quality T.V. with the new Cosby Show, Family Ties, and a choice between Hil Street Blues and Knot’s Landing. Miami Vice was also a favorite, good enough to make us sacrifice part of a precious weekend night. . But usually, weekends were the time for breaking out. Whether on a date or with friends, our weekends were alive. After dark, streets in Huntington became crowded with cars filled with action-seekers. They found it. If there wasn’t a game and dance or party, food and friends could easily be found. The opening of Arby’s and Ponderosa gave us two more options, along with McDonald’s and Noble Roman’s. Even though the downtown movie ticket price was increased by $.50, the $2.00 admission was still unbeatable and taken for granted. Ft. Wayne and Marion, however, offered more selections, and we forked out as much as $4.50 to see films there. We laughed at Pee Wee Herman and Back to the Future, cried at St. Elmo’s Fire, and cheered at Rocky IV and Rambo. Before or after the movie, there was a good chance that we’d go shopping. We cleaned out our pockets in order to buy Swatches, Coca-Cola clothes, print jeans, 501’s, or anything paisley. Record shops offered sales on top albums, such as those by Phil Collins, Dire Straits, ZZ Top, or Madonna. We danced to our favorite songs at Ft. Wayne’s new teen nightclub, RockAmerica, after waiting anywhere from fifteen minutes to two hours to get in. With busy weeks and jam-packed weekends, we not only lived in a small town, we were also alive in a small town. wn LISA EICKHOFF AND BECKY WILLIAMS OPENING 7

SENIOR DEREK BROWN and sophomores TRACY BROWN and BART PULVER anticipate the first Viking win of the season against Ander- son Madison Heights with a score of 33-7. ee A Tradition @ 12ne iE rn joi 4) The worst finally happened. It was a traditional homecoming made to be broken. First of all, the DEKA’s failed to arrive on time. Classes were inter- rupted sixth period the day of homecoming, to announce that there were no DEKA’s. “It was kind of em- barrassing because it broke the Homecoming tradition,” stated junior DEBBIE FOX. And instead of signing each others’ yearbooks and lounging in the commons on homecoming night, many danced in the crowded cafeteria to music played by Ron Fusselman. Homecoming upheld other tradi- tions. Unseasonably warm conditions brought coatless spectators to the pre-game homecoming parade. The ghoulie parade portrayed the theme of Steven Spielberg movies. The seniors took first place prize with their float portraying the film The Goonies. For club floats the Pep- Steppers took first place with their float E.T. When the half-time buzzer sound- ed, the homecoming court drew the SPIRITED fans become captured in the excite- ment and enthusiasm which accompany Homecoming.

The Homecoming court consisted of seniors TAMI THOMAS with escort ERIC DOHRMAN and LAURA MOON with escort JIM KAYLOR, junior ROBERTA WADE and escort KYLE STOFFEL, sophomores LAUREL BECKNER with escort JEFF SHOCKLEY and freshman APRIL BAUER with junior DAN EVERSMAN. The title of Homecoming Queen went to senior HEATHER TOWN with her escort DION ECKART. The DEKA’s not making it on time was not all bad, for there was a se- cond dance held free on October 12. “I think it was great because | got to see my college friends twice,” stated senior KURT WEBER. Junior WENDY STOUDER com- mented, “For some of us, it turned out to be a disappointment, and for some, it turned out good. This homecoming will be one we won't forget.” MEG MACHALL HOMECOMING 9
