Obese obsession Even though only 19% of the girls were overweight, 100% went on diets at some time. Many found out that dieting is not fun or easy after trying many different kinds of diets. One person drank water only for four days and passed out, and another girl got high on diet pills. Her favorite diet, according to a junior girl, was the seafood diet: “I see food, and I eat it.” The girls' popular breakfast of nothing was compared with the toast, eggs, bacon, milk, juice, and cereal eaten by the males, and many coeds complained “It’s not fair. Eating a candy bar for lunch is Karen Poulsen's favorite diet Guys never have to go on diets.’’ However, after the weights of both boys and girls were studied, the percentages showed that most of the girls did not have to diet either. Even after losing the desired pounds, girls are never satisfied with their weight, and while they want to be skinny, they try to convince everyone that they are fat. One discouraged dieter finally declared, “I’m not overweight — I’m under height!” Two of the founding fathers of the senior men slanguage.

Who's under the bed? Throughout the year, the different classes sponsored parties. The Seniors held a party at Saint Anne's Retreat in Logan Canyon during the summer. The girls asked a boy with such creative invitations as balloons, pillowcases, and painted pictures. Each couple brought a flashlight to play Flashlight Tag.” Even though Saint Anne's is notorious for being scary, everyone wandered ♦outside for the game. However, Lez-lee Hales and Kip Meachem hid under a bed upstairs. “Every time someone would come upstairs, we'd be as quiet as we could. The telephone rang a couple of times right in the room, we were sure they’d find us, said Lezlee. They finally came downstairs after about an hour under the bed. The Juniors and Sophomores had class parties, too. Both the Junior Road Rally and the Sophomore's spring party were a great success. In addition, several academic classes had parties. The Amphion staff had a party in the Canyon as well as late night deadline parties. The Chauntaires went caroling after a concert and then ate at Tifani Eyre’s house. These different parties helped promote unity in the class and provided a chance for classes to have a lot of fun together. A food lover's paradise.'' sighs Lori Reid Nine to five About half of the studentbody held jobs during the year. These jobs ranged from secretarial work to selling clothes to being a busboy. Some of the benefits of working besides the check are the discounts and prizes given in contests between employees. Some students take work that they are interested in for after high school, but others work at places that they are able to get a job. Work helps one to learn responsibility and independence. Soap Operas are Blake Peterson's favorite! A typical date Most dates are essentially the same. For example, before a dance one goes out to eat, and afterwards the couple usually goes to someone's house. However, every once in awhile someone thinks of something creative to do. One senior girl told of a date with a boy from Sky View in which they went to Grand Central and bought crayons and paper. Then, they went to a cemetery, made stone rubbings, and told scary stories. Another girl went to her boyfriend's house and gave his dog a bath and a haircut. Although most boys try to plan something fancy before a dance, one boy took his date to Dee’s before a junior prom. They ate their food in Central Park. It can be hard for boys to ask a girl out. Likewise, girls are always complaining of not enough dates. However, when a date is finally a reality, it is most likely to be a success. Soap Operas are Blake Peterson's favorite! A successful date for Nancy Beyers and Ben Brown T.V. top ten 1.

wmmTm r imt, Showt ir r © Roger sees the light It might be fun to meet someone in the hall you could walk right through, speculated Roger Hart, referring to his work with the laser he has kept in the basement of the school for the past two years. Roger found an article on holography and became interested. He found that the school had almost everything necessary, and Mr. Bradford found him a place to set up the laser and go to work. A hologram is a three dimensional photograph, but rather than looking at the film as with a regular photograph to see the picture, one looks through the film to see a 3-D picture. Champion Decker Karate is an unusual sport practiced by a number of students at Logan High. One of these students is Mike Decker, who has been taking lessons since a friend got him interested in it four years ago He takes lessons twice a week and tries to work in a half hour of practice a day. In 1979 Mike won the Idaho St. Junior Championship. He plans to continue karate though he is now too old to fight in the junior division. Mike enjoys karate not only because it is fun but because it increases reflexes, coordination, and confidence. He feels it is a fun sport and encourages others to take it up. It sounded intriguing Amy Long began fencing as a sophomore when she heard about a club starting at the University. It sounded intriguing so I joined, said Amy, and she was glad she did. The fencing season runs from January to May, and during this time practices are held four nights a week in preparation for two tournaments a month. The team plays all Utah Universities and many from the Western states. Amy finds the sport both difficult and challenging. She likes it because it is not only a physical sport but a mental one. She also likes the competition and the opportunity to meet people from other places while competing. During the year Amy was the only high school member on USU’s ten-member team. Pretty bird Training pets is not an unusual hobby, but it can be if the pet is a Mike Decker parakeets which he both trains and breeds. It takes one to two years to train most birds, depending on how smart they are. If the bird is wild, it is much more difficult to train than a tame one and takes much longer. When asked what his birds could do, Steve replied, Most anything a smart dog can do — play dead, shake, turn around, etc. Benny, the bird that got Steve interested in bird training, talks, using expressions such as pretty bird,” and “Benny wants a cracker.
