FADS, FASH I One of the biggest fads during 1982-83 was videogames. Crowds of students could be seen in Captain Video, Anderson ' s, and Big Cheese spending all of their quarters on games such as PACMAN and DEFENDER. Home video game sets such as Atari which could be hooked into TV sets were also very popular. This year students really got into the latest fashions, from knickers (Lisa Lindemuth and Kathy Daly), coulottes, and miniskirts (Melanie Anderson) to shirts with various critters to legwarmers and the layered look. Side-buttoned blouses and sweaters tied over the shoulders were still popular for girls and the prairie look was all the rage. Preppy or western were the main alternatives for boys. Tennis shoes, especially Nikes, were seen all over the high school, but cowboy boots, boat shoes, wafflestompers, duck shoes, baby dolls, and pumps were also worn. The dominant types of foods were at two extremes: health food and junk food. Sunflower seeds and frozen yogurt were in demand and a new kind of drink, Caprisun, became very popular. Just as many people, however, favored traditional junk food such as pizza, ice cream, and diet drinks. Regardless of the food they ate, students seemed more interested than ever in physical fitness, participating in var- ious sports, jogging, biking (Patty Machen), and even taking up Jazzercise. ET was this year ' s star of the movies. His adorable face or his slogan Phone home could be seen on T-shirts, buttons, and bumperstickers, while punkers Jennifer Schinn and Chris Lynch demonstrate another ongoing fad. Introduction 5

LIMITS Outer Limits are the borders for activities in Los Alamos. The outdoors forms our backyard. Pam Farr gropes her way through thick powder while Mike Pruitt likes his skating best. Abiquiu makes excellent sailing for Mark Wad- strom. East Forks is a favorite spot. Steve Wewerka dives from the first cliff as Pat Conn sprints on air. Brian Ray and David Charlton look on. Katy Cross and her horse Double L Dot are familiar contestants at horseshows. Bill Hunter resembles Spider Man as he scales rocks in the canyon behind the school. He assured us it was during class time. Sam Louck is pursuing Jaws. The Rock Climbing Club, headed by Mr. Chris Foster (left), spends a lot of time clinging to local cliffs. On the far right is Jennifer Leon. Justin Gehre and John Greenwood (bow) find rafting demanding. Introduction 7
