Students Aid Local Famil Giving has always been an impor- tant part of the Holiday Season. The SGA sponsored a Thanksgiving canned food drive in order to aid needy families. Interclass rivalry led to two homerooms raising a total of 228 cans of food. The spirit of com- petition combined with a desire to assist those less fortunate made the drive a big success according to SGA President Mark Whitaker. The spirit of doing for others car- ried over to the Christmas fund-rais- ing of Operation Santa Claus. Right: Angie Ruffin, Tamara Lumpkin, Amand Mines, Harry Jenkins, and Janet Millner tallied the number of cans donated during the week before Thanksgiving.

@vie Macvess Movies — some were blockbusters, others were flops. The summer of 1982 was a season to remember, and one that would go down in cinema history as the largest, most successful summer ever. This was the summer of comedies, action films, and the return of old favorites. The sequels were in full swing. “Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan’, “Road Warrior’, “Rocky III”, “Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3-D”, “Halloween III: The Season of the Witches”, and “Poltergeist” were the titles of some of the blockbusters last summer.

Buttons, T-shirts, Reeses Pieces, posters, and even amateur impressionist clearly showed the wave of affection felt for the little alien. “E.T. — The Extra-Terrestrial” may have won the hearts of many people, but other movies ranked high, too. Sherry Powell said “I liked “Rocky III’, especially Mr. T. because he was big and bad”’. “Poltergeist” ranked high as well as low with several students. Saundra Davis said, “It was too real’. Ivory Scales felt “It was stupid and unreal”. Angela Mayo said “I liked the part when the head came out of the closet”. The most unusual movie release was “Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3-D”. Keith Rogers said “The audience’s reaction to 3-D made it more exciting.

A The remake of “Cat People” starring Natasha Kinsky became a minor hit last summer. “TRON” used the idea of video-mania to draw the crowds into the theater, and make it a minor hit. Dana Brown and Sally O’Brien seemed most interested in the poster of the comedy movie “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid” starring Steve Martin. 26 Student Life
