Electronic fever spreads everywhere Time in the 80’s, aside from doing homework, was not spent so much on watching television as it was playing television. Yes, playing television. It be¬ came one of the leading guides to en¬ tertainment for the average American family. When homework was not a part of a student’s activities for the evening, for many nothing was more addicting than to spend hours making Pac Man sick from swallowing trillions of dots, millions of vitamins, and who knows how many power pills. Had you ever tried to pull someone away from the T V. to do something important when he didn’t even know you were there? That was the impact Pac Man was leaving on many stu¬ dents.

Hard concentration is required to get a good score on a video game. This student watches as his scores rise. Some of the students were really shaking to the beat of the band at the Yacht club dance Some students are kicking their shoes off and getting comfortable during the dance in the cafeteria A seemingly different kind of organization There were several new clubs this year. One was the Yatch Club. It was created by Junior, Lisa Mathews. Mr Cunningham was the sponsor. This club was created to make school life more enjoyable. The club did not have a certain goal; rather it was more of a social gathering for stu¬ dents. They earned their money from club dues, bake sales, and raking lawns. Ac¬ tivities have included a dance, sledding at Lemon Lake, and a few other activi¬ ties. The club met to discuss ways for raising funds and planning new activi¬ ties every Thursday that was sched¬ uled for club meetings There were other new clubs added in 1982-1983 also. These included Campus Life, Bookstore club, and Sci¬ ence club. 26 Magazine
