Winter, Olympic games, and many fun times Skiing trips, snowball fights, and sledding with your friends are all a part of our winter won- derland. But whoever thought that after the bhzzard of 1978 we would have little if any snow this year for Christmas. For some people Christmas didn ' t seem much like Christmas because of the lack of snow. The 1980 ' s rolled in, bringing the hockey season and fun times at Erskine golf course with bon- fires and sledding. After basket- ball games, people passing by Shakey ' s could usually see stu- dents in the midst of a snowball fight. Even though we received quite a bit of snow in a short time, it wasn ' t enough to cancel school and cancel out finals. Many students wished that it would snow as it did a couple of years ago; but, as we all know, our wish never came true. Although there was a lot of snow on the ground, it was rela- tively mild compared to the past years. Every morning students would get up out of a warm bed, get dressed, and go outside to shovel the driveway, and start the car so it could warm up before they started the journey to school. This winter brought us the 13th Annual Olympics. Eric Heiden, the record-breaking speed skater, won five gold med- als while the hockey team took the gold. For the winter sports fans and athletes, winter is an enjoyable and challenging time. 24 JUNIOR ERIC FRASH enjoys BUFFY THE DOG tries to esca playing motorcross on his bike in the deep snow drift, the snow.

As the EFL died in State legis- latures all over the country, equal rights found its way into the Century Center Stage when the Riley Thespians presented the unusual battle of the sexes, By Jupiter. This musical fan- tasy, with music by Rodgers and Hart, is set in the mythical land of the Amazons, where the reigning monarch is Queen Hippolyta, played by Gayle Reznik. An Army headed by Homer, (Marty Lightner), Her- cules (Matt Wilson), and The- seus (Jim Beck), land on their shores to captiu-e the Amazons ' most prized possession, the Gir- dle of Diana. Everything is complicated further as Theseus falls in love with the Queen ' s sister Antiope, played by Laura Nelson. The play then revolves around this love story and the rather unique one between Hippolyta and her sometimes feminine, always sex-hungry husband Sapiens, (Arturo Gar- cia). Everything ended happily with Hercules getting the gir- dle, Theseus getting Antiope, and Sapiens getting the crown as well as equality for men in Amazonia. SAPIENS AND HIPPOLYTA dance their way to the end of a marital spat in Everything I ' ve Got. 28 Fall Production
