Progress, closures influence changes With the arrival of the 1981-82 school year, the South- east Portland area received an unexpected lift to its econ- omy. Even though Oregon's unemployment was higher than the national average, Portland's economy was boost- ed by the construction of Clackamas Town Center, a major shopping complex located in the Southeast area. The Town Center supplied a host of new jobs for high school students, as well as providing the convenience of a one-stop shopping mall. Before Clackamas opened, good jobs were pretty scarce. But out at Clackamas, it was nice to be able to apply at several places and then choose the very best job, explained Senior Don Wyler. Throughout the district, high school programs for Southeast Asian students nearly tripled. Seventy stu- dents were enrolled at Marshall last year, and according to lnstructor Greg Ellars, Marshall's program is orga- nized and complete, even though it is relatively new. The students have adapted quickly to their new country and are doing very well in their studies. Although declining enrollment across the city and a snipped operating budget overall forced the closure of both Adams and WashingtonfMonroe, Marshall's enroll- ment remained stable. Beforehand, however, eight teachers had been cut in anticipation of fewer students. Yet by fall, seven new staff members were added to accomodate the increased enrollment. Consumers were also aware of the fact that increased prices didn't mean an increase in products as well. For example, a typical candy bar cost just as much or more, yet its size remained the same or was smaller. lt's a ripoff to pay so much for so little, exclaimed Junior John Worden. This fact was also reflected in Marshall's cafeteria. Milk jumped from 10 to 18 cents, while the price of a plate lunch leaped from 65 to 90 cents. As a result, more students resorted to munching on cheaper cookies and chips for lunch because they either could not afford the higher prices or were simply unwilling to pay them. Yet through all the turbulent economic cuts and reduc- tions, several things survived the onslaught. Student life at Marshall remained relatively unaffected, and special- ized courses such as photography, Green Thumb, and Research Scholars were still in existence. Events such as Homecoming, dances, and the traditional senior activities remained, illustrating the fact that Marshall was able to successfully adapt to the changing times. ANOTHER SIGNof the tight economy was the irritating fact that you didn't always get what you paid for. Here, Sophomore Sheri Morris finds that her newly purchased bag of chips is half empty. MARSHALL'S STAFF grew to include Mrs. Gloria Arts, English instructor. Mrs. Arts stressed individual attention, which is shown here as she assists Senior Carey Bell, A. tiff. ld.

Fast food, Health food - You make the choice Were you a junk food junkie? Join the crowd. Nothing as more satisfying than biting into a huge, juicy Whop- er, complete with a side order of large, greasy fries and a oke. The last thing that came to mind while indulging as how many extra pounds the 1280 calories provided, r to what extent these eating-out excursions would de- lete the pocketbook, but the reality was still there. Everyday last year, Marshall's cafeteria sold two hun- dred cups of french fries and nearly three hundred cook- es, clear evidence that the junk food era had hit full iorce. Fast food was everywhere, one cruise up and down B2nd Avenue supported this fact. Faced with tempting tacos, barbequed chicken, ice cream, and cheesey pizza, t's no wonder that so many Marshall students suc- cumbed to their watering tastebuds. You could use up a whole tank of gas simply deciding what fast food joint to eat in, exclaimed Junior Dave Rogers. Going out to lunch was a very popular activity among students. Senior Susan Norton averaged three trips a week out to lunch. Taco Bell sure beats the cafeteria, she remarked. On the other hand, those who wished to avoid bulges around the waist and strains on their budget the fast food market provided, could always dish up a healthy salad plate in the lunchroom for ninety cents. We sell about :une hundred salads daily, affirmed Margaret Seid, cafe- teria director. The salad bar, which was initiated by stu- :lents, had a significant increase in sales last year. More and more students brought sack lunches to school in order to avoid high prices and high calories. Senior David Montgomery explained, You pay too much for too little in the cafeteria. By bringing my lunch, l can eat what l want, and l don't have to wait in line for twenty minutes. Because of the increased interest in healthy foods, nearly every shopping mall around Portland made room for a health food store. An employee at Eastport's health food store felt that teenagers were gaining increased knowledge about their bodies and were learning to take care of them. Athletes were often aware of the fact that good food and vitamins aided them in building muscles and improving overall body tone. l always either bring my lunch or eat a salad in the cafeteria, remarked Varsity Basketball member Sean Loth. The same holds true for everyone. Eating right in- creases energy and stamina, as well as providing enough brainpower to get through a final exam in Algebra or enough strength to run a mile in P.E. CAUGHT ON THE STAIRWELL while indulging in some Yoplait yogurt is Senior Maralee Llnis. Yogurt was a favorite addition to many sack lunches, and saw increased sales in the cafeteria. JUST ONE OF MANY health food restaurants that have been estab- lished is Clackamas Town Center's Healthy Deli. These businesses enjoyed a growth in popularity throughout the year. rf' Q' Introduction
