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

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

Nuclear Warfare The fear of nuclear war has been with us since 1945, when the G.S. dropped the A bomb on Japan. Within the last two decades, the awareness of nuclear war has become more intense. It is all over newscasts, newspapers and even on bumper stickers. With the release of the television movie, The Day After, many people who weren't concerned before, became concern- ed. After seeing the realities of nuclear holocaust, one can see how easily and how fast a nuclear war could happen. Anti-nuclear war activist groups formed; some are very intense with their protests. In just about any capital in the world there have been protests along with magazine articles and movies against nuclear war. We also found out that in Iowa, on some farms, in the silos, the govern- ment has put missiles which are ready to be launched in a matter of minutes. These missiles are aimed at the Soviet Onion, who also have missiles pointed at the O.S., ready to be launched in a matter of minutes. Nuclear activists have started buy ing television commercial time to drive their message home. They also use big names to press the point. One can easily conclude from all these protests and movies that the nation needs stronger nuclear deter rents instead of a nuclear freeze. Hart Wins Ohio In this year's Presidential elections, it was evident that there were four ma- jor candidates in the race. Three were seeking the Democratic nomination; Reverend Jesse Jackson, Walter Mondale, and Gary Hart. The only republican was Presi- dent Ronald Reagan. Reverend Jackson was the first black to run for president. He is from Atlanta, Georgia. Being a religious leader, as well as the first black to run, he has received much recognition. Walter Mondale, who was vice- president. serving 1977-1981 under Jimmy Carter, is from Illinois. Being an ex-vice-president, he has received a lot of publicity. Gary Hart is not quite as popular as Jackson or Mondale, but he also has gained much recognition and a lot of followers. Hart favors the rights of farmers, and many people admire that. Hart is from Colorado. He has become the man to beat in the primaries. President Reagan was the gover- nor of California before he ran for President. Reagan also ran for the Republican nomination in 1976. Reagan has a good record in foreign relations. Campaigning has begun with all of its promises, and President Reagan has done many things, such as his negotiations with China to help his campaign. We will all see the final outcome of the campaigning next November, when the next President is elected. Lisa Hawkins Magazine 27
