Who needs to go to the Homecoming Dance? It'd probably be fun, but there's a good movie on T.V. I'm just dieing to see. Who needs to meet friends at Dee's for a coke after school? I always have potato chips too, and then I ruin my supper. Who needs to see the Conference- tourney? If they win that's all I'll hear about anyway. Who needs friends and a social life? To put is simply, we all do. Although teachers couldn't understand how assignments could be forgotten in the wake of extra-curricular activities, they weren't alone because parents too seemed unforgiving when suppers were missed and curfews broken. But can you really blame them? Afterall, who was it that took the keys without asking, who threatened to run away if they cou1dn't spend the entire Corn In a few years when I'm looking back ove my high school days, it won't be the tests and the homework I remember, but the special things-Homecoming, dances, my first date . . . School week uptown, who received yet an- other loan without a word of thanks and finally, who thought three different sports and five clubs just wasn't enough? The bossy, moody, irritable, unpredictable, all- American teenager, that's who! I understand why mom wants the whole family home for supper, but why can't she understand that the pre-game taco bash is where I'd rather be? I know homework should be my first priority, but when the coach says Ten laps, then hit the show- ers, how can I say, I'm sorry coach, I can't, I have English to do? I understand my parents' and teachers' arguements, but I sure wish they'd at least TRY to understand that without friends and without things to keep me busy after school and on week- ends, my life wouldn't seem complete.

Caldwell Reigns As 1980 Queen One of the major highlights of Corn School week for Lakeland students was go- ing to watch the Queen Contest on Wednes- day and Thursday evenings. This year saw the largest field of contestants ever compet- ing, 17 in all, including Vicki Boss, Kim Caldwell, Doris Gruber, Diane Lutz, and Sandy Sturtz. The girls competed in a series of contests to determine the eventual win- ner including talent, bathing suit and per- sonality. Sandy Sturtz sang The Rose , winning the talent competion and over S75. Kim Caldwell won the overall contest, re- placing Michelle Prill as Miss Corn School, and receiving over S200 for her effort. The three girls who did not place received S15 gift certificates as well as a variety of gifts. Miss Caldwell summed it up by saying: It was really an honor being selected Queen. I enjoyed everything about the contest and it's an experience I'll never forget. -gn ' vs N Q with x 8-CORN SCHOOL A: Another Free Game! sophomores Bert Hartman and Todd Targgart play on the machines in the Penny Ar- cade.
