Want to Have Fun? All of the time and effort the Senior class officers put into the Senior class Is greatly appreciated by all. but like other human beings they also need their rest. Here are the Senior class officers taking a leisurely stroll on the roof of the high school, (jh) County Fair Fun, Fascinating, and Enjoyable for All The Hocking County Fair may not be as extravagent and fascinating as the Ohio State Fair, but it's the perfect fair for the kind of life that we live in Hocking County. Every fall the Hock ing County Fair is held during the se cond week of September. The fair offers many special features other than the midway rides and numberous food booths. This years's fair featured, for the first time, a motor cross, the annual demolition derby, and the horse races. The tradition of the king and queen contest was once again car- ried on, with Lisa McDanial, a senior at LHS, capturing the reign of queen and Alan Starkey, a past graduate of LHS reining as king. Perhaps the favorite day of everystudent is Friday. This is the day when the schools are closed and everyone goes to enjoy the fair. Many students who are members of local 4 H clubs are dismissed from school to take care of their animals which they have entered. Like anything else the fair has its good and bad points, but for the most part, the community enjoys getting out, riding the rides and hav- ing fun with friends during the se- cond week in September when the fair is in town. Want excitement? Want to feel like you're in a real battle? Want to be the hunted or the hunter? Want to feel the thrill of a life or death chase? Well, here's the perfect game for you, Wargames. Local Wargames were started by a group of sophomore guys back in 1982. Andy Hunsaker, J. B. Hoy, Brad Dauben- mire, and Dennis Davis were the original leaders. They consider themselves a group of fun-loving guys rather than a club. Wargames is basically a harmless game that the guys go all out for. They dress up in camoflage, paint their faces and wear goggles for pro- tection. They carry b-b guns and pellet guns. They also have rope and anything else they can subdue their opponents with. How do you join this daring bunch? All you have to be is an in- terested soilder, who will be loyal to his platoon. The day of the big event the guys get together and pick names out of a hat to pick the different platoons. The guys camp out over night and start the fighting early the next morn- ing. The main purpose of the wargames is to have a great time. The platoons hide behind trees and in caves to surprise their opponents. They have yet to dig any trenches, although there is a creek bed that one could consider a trench. If you're bored and need something to do, try playing wargames. Jeff Miller magaiine 25

Seniors Take Charge After being crowned Jr Fair king and queen at the 1983 Hocking County Fair, Lisa McDanial and Alan Starkey sit and enjoy one of the many animal shows that occured during the week of the fair, (ju) When It’s Hot The heat doesn't always stop at the end of summer vacation. It usually carries into the first months of school. Everyone is used to dressing as cool as possible during those hot dog days of summer, then school starts, the temperature stays up, and everyone has to dress according to the school dress code. The school dress code is not a very strict one. However, it states that a person's hair should be groom- ed so that it doesn't create a health or safety hazard, clothes should be worn in the manner they were design- ed for, and clothing which exposes one's midriff is unexceptable. Foot apparel must be worn during school also. If a student does not follow these rules he or she will be asked to cor- rect the problem. After the second violation, he has the choise of two detentions or two whacks. The punishment then increases for each violation thereafter. All of these rules and regulations are fine in cooler weather, but what about these extremely hot days when school first starts. The dress code states nothing about wearing shorts or muscle shirts. These articles aren't revealing and they cover most of the body. Shorts and muscle shirts are allowed in gym class. They are not allowed during school. It would be much bet- ter to be cool and calm than hot and bothered. If a student is hot, he tends to have a poor attitude and not want to work. Perhaps the administration should stretch the rules of the dress code when it is extremely hot so that the students mind is on his work and not his heat stroke. Maybe the administration could give a revised dress code a chance. As the 1982-83 school year ap- proached sompletion, the junior class, 1984's mighty Chieftians, was faced with the task of electing those individuals who would lead them through their senior year. This was probably the most impor- tant choosing for the juniors, as the newly elected officers would be given the responsibilities of keeping their classmates informed of the many events taking place during their senior year, not to mention class reunions in years to come. Among these tasks would be the choosing of graduation an- nouncements, caps and gowns, the annual senior trip, the planning of commencement exercises, and the negotiation of senior priviledges, to mention just a few. Following the tabulation of ballots, the results showed that Doug Carr, junior class president, had retained his office, once again serving as class president. Andy Hunsaker was elected vice president, also a second year officer, with Terry Sinnott wining the race of secretary. Carrie Cook, the only student to be elected four consecutive years, took the seat of treasurer. The 1984 senior class officers, along with class advisors Joe DelCiello and Woody Johnston, donated much time and energy in making the school year a memorable one for the mLghty Chiefs of '84. 24 Magazine Jeff Miller

Logan Breaks Out A new kind of dancing has become very popular in cities around the U.S., it's called “breaking. It has a lot of artistic movement. With twists and neck rolls, it has become just as interesting to watch someone breaking, as it is for the dancers to dream up the movements. Even people who don't know how to break are trying some of the easy moves. Logan has become familiar with break dancing. At school dances a few people have shown their gym- nastic talents by dancing within a cir- cle of people enthralled by their talents. Break dancing got its start on the streets in New York by street gangs. Now they break dance in the streets instead of fighting. The gangs get together and share moves and invent new ones. Break dancing not only keeps them in shape, but also keeps peace. Break dancing has become so popular, that every time you turn on the television you can watch so- meone breaking, on commercials or even in movies. A movie has been filmed called Break Dancing. In the 50's we had “The Twist, in the 60's it was The Monkey and The Swim, in the 70's it was The Hustle and 1984 will be remembered for its Breakers. 26 magazine Lisa Hawkins
