Many movies offer escape to viewers The economic and political difficulties created such hardships that Americans searched for an outlet for their frustrations and ultimately reached beyond their world for solutions. Frustrated citizens took components of the present conditions, altered these, added a few, and invented a world with dimensions unknown before, originated as a means of escape. To express the desire for something new and different, society gave birth to a multitude of characters, but the most widely acclaimed was E.T. This creature had a loving personality and represented the hopes of Americans to leave the problems behind and live in an entirely new environment. The movie Annie also contained a release for people. The glamourous life of mansions and butlers in which Annie lived was one not many had experienced, and so the audience used Annie as an outlet and withdrew for a while from society's entanglements. People tried many modes of escape, but none worked as well as the movies. Films provided unlimited possibilities for the creation of what had not yet existed and offered relief to those who would just reach beyond their world. In vocational classes.

Editorial: Homecoming is much more than the gome Homecoming is sometimes defined as an annual event held to honor returning alumni, but there are many who feel that Homecoming at JHS is interpreted in an entirely different way. Mrs. Koehler stated. I feel the Homecoming week activities are very positive. However, she added, The true meaning of Homecoming is lost in the process. Mr. Schulz, football coach, replied, Homecoming is very necessary to the total athletic program. The problem is that the true meaning of Homecoming has been lost. Instead of spending the week getting ready to welcome back alumni of Jefferson High School, we spend it seeing how silly we can dress. I feel the student body feels that Homecoming week is for their entertainment and not a preliminary to honor alumni with a football game. “ Others disagree with this idea and feel that Homecoming as it is now celebrated is very necessary. The week is great fun and really helps build the spirit. commented Miss Turner. I also feel that there is no reason why the entire student body cannot participate in the week's activities. Cheerleader Cathy Sinder-mann said, I feel Homecoming week really fires up the student body. The activities during the Homecoming week are what differentiates the Homecoming football games from any other football game during the season. The students who do not participate during the week are losing out. and those who do participate will carry with them memories of it forever.
