High School Hostages American fell prey to terrorists twice during the past year. First the American Embassy in Tehran, Iran was taken captive and then Mr. Jensen's 2nd hour class was captured. Mr. Howell's A.P. History class was studying terrorism and as a learning experience they abducted Mr. Jensen's sociology class one by one and held them hostage in the fallout shelter. Bizarre music blared and strobe lights flashed to add realism and give the full effect of being a hostage. Mr. Jensen was the first to be taken prisoner and the last to be released. When he went to the office to answer a very important phone call he was jumped by the fierce patrol of terrorists known as the unknown terrorists. The terrorists read a list of demands over the P.A. system, this included the discontinuation of the bell before announcements and other similar conditions for release. After it was over, and they were treated to punch and doughnuts, they decided that being a hostage While kidnapping Mr. Jensen's sociology class, an unknown terrorist shows his emotions. wasn t SO a . Sweet Things Most people think of sugar as a white, grainy substance used mainly as a sweetener for cakes, candies, and just about everything. Girl's despise it and dentists appreciate its contribution to their profession. But thanks to a group of boys at school, sugar has a double meaning. To them, sugar is something you would want after a date with a foxy chick. Sugar also has several partners that go along with it. These include, cinnamon toast, cake, sauce and glazed doughnuts. When asked what these meant, group members said that it was a strictly confidential secret. But we do know this, when you're out on a date, refrain from sugar, limit the cake and stay completely away from glazed doughnuts. Sugar, cake and cinnamon toasl are favorites with Layne Butterfield, Brik Eyre and Wade Haslam. iooI Happenings School Happenings School Happenings School Happenings School Happenings 19

Held Up Happenings Doug Carling, Wade Haslam and Caldon Wadsworth can't figure out which way is down, at ski class. Slowed Up Slopes With less than two feet of snow around Christmas time, Beaver Mountain appeared to be in serious trouble. But after a series of snowstorms in late January, Beaver opened for a late but welcomed season. Along with Beaver's opening came the ski school for Logan High School students. Anyone who wished to participate in this activity, filled out sheets, and paid $55. This included bus fare and also a sack lunch. Then every Wednesday, for six weeks they were excused from classes to enjoy a day of action packed skiing. The first day was February 4. The regular school apparel was invaded by moonboots, worn levis, and brightly colored ski sweaters. It's almost worth the money just to miss school one student replied, but the skiing is great too. Once up at Beaver, the students were divided into groups ranging from beginners to pros. In fact, Carff Hubbard helped out with the instruction. Then, after dividing, the beginners tried to make their way down the hill and the others zoomed by with their teachers behind them. When the class was over, the rest of the day was spent with friends on the slopes or resting in the lodge. Some of the runs were in pretty bad shape from the lack of snow, but with the exception of a few rocks, most were skiable. The classes managed to get by with no major injuries and most agreed that it was worth the expenses. Purity Becomes Popular A club gained recognition at Logan High. This club's membership was limited.. Many wanted to join but few could live up to its difficult standards. This club was known as the Virgin Lips Forever Club or the V.L.F. club. The club which was most popular among the senior boys, was actually founded a few years ago. It almost became a contest to see who could 'resist' until their eighteenth birthday. Really, only a few succeeded but many claimed that they did. When asked why not many girls were actual members, one student replied, It's probably because girls are so naturally irresistable. Well, whether you're a girl or boy, if you're interested in becoming a wealthy bachelor or a finicky old maid, this club's for you. John Mortensen laughs at what he has resisted fo almost 18 years. hool Happenings School Happenings School Happenings School Happening? 18 School Happenings

Resting in the shade ot some tall trees, smurfs relax from their new stardom. Are You Hooked? “Swimmers remove your nose plugs and get ready for General Hospital Update!! At one time or another every walk of life was called on to listen to the ever popular update that was repeated on KVNU. General Hospital, the highest rated soap opera in the U.S., was a real attention getter among interested students and faculty. Because the soap was on during the daytime TV schedule, the curious viewers relied on the updates to keep them informed. Hawkeye, who originated the idea of having the update, admitted that he got hooked on the soap opera by watching it during his lunch hour. While on the air, I started mentioning complicated situations that arose during the last episode he explained. Because so many people watched General Hospital, KVNU decided to turn the update into a regular part of the network schedule. Beginning in May 1980 the update could be heard two times every weekday and was also published in the Cache Nickel! Many years ago there was a great wizard. Th is wizard could create or do anything he wanted. He had almost everything he wanted, but he was very lonely. He decided to create some friends for himself. Little blue people with white hats resulted from a spell cast by the wizard. These people were faster than a speeding slurb, more powerful that a robnikoff, and able to leap tall gleeks in a single bound. 'Smurf' was the name given to these new people. This story based on a comic strip created in Belgium 22 years ago has resulted in a fad that has reached many places on the earth. The smurf we know today was the creation of toy distributor, Wallace Berrie and Company. Students enjoyed carrying smurfs on their key chains and wearing them on their shirts. There were even stuffed smurfs. They made a record composed of songs that were rewritten for the smurfs. Smurfs depicted everything from astronauts to kings, from Olympic champions to clowns. There is even a super nero smurf. Sheri Reid, smurf fan, remarked, Smurfs are people too! Wearing his cowboy hal. Mr. Howell displays an incoming fad.
