The heroes were still there, but dramas emerged as the box office hits of this past year. Two plays, Amadeus and Agnes of God. were introduced on film. The former was a dramatic plot about Mozartg the latter con- cerned a nun who became pregnant. Other dramatic movies included Passage to India. which showcased the Indian countrysideg and The Killing Fields, which was about a re- porters experiences in a war-torn Southeast Asia. For college students one serious drama stood out, St. Elmo's Fire. It dramatized the rela- tionships among a group of recent college graduates and depicted their adjustments to survive in the real world. Of course, the heroes were still dominant in many of the summers fun movies. Back to the Future featured a somewhat reluctant teenage hero. Mel Gibson returned as Mad Max, a hero surviving in a world devastated by nuclear warg and Rocky returned in his fourth movie. The summer also saw the continuation of National Lampoon's Vacation in Europe- an Vacationf' Other summer flicks included Summer Rental and Volunteers This year the western was reborn in films with Silverado and Pale Rider. Silverado was a big box office success about the all- American cowboy. Clint Eastwood returned as the macho cowboy in Pale Rider. Disney studios released a new animated film this year, The Black Cauldron, in which a new animation technique was tried. lt was filmed entirely on 70mm. Santa Claus made it big in the movies with the Christmastime release of Disneys One Magic Christmas and another film entitled Santa Claus the Movie. With the help of modern special effects these movies brought back the magic ofthe Santa Claus legend. E -DeeAnn Peterson - 4

E H!!! fffffff T f Timberline's F un Fridays he action this year was in the Timber- line! All through the year the Timber- line had many wonderful performers. Each presentation sponsored by the Timberline Committee was a smashing success due to the support ofthe student body. The Timberline was full each time there was a performance. The crowds were so large for the films shown, that some movies had to be shown twice. It was incredible the number of people that fitted into the Timberline on any one of these special nights. The students reacted with delight to Kier's vocal impressions and mastery of the electric piano. jim and Kim Thomas's witness through song was a very moving experience. The musical craftsman, Michael Maguire, beautifully blended rag, bortlenecking, and country blues into the finest guitar playing ever heard. There was not a slow weekend when the Timberline had something going, In addition to the weekend entertainment, the Timberline acted as a social center and place to study on weeknights. For those who were hungry, it could also provide pizza. You could find your favorite programs on the wi- descreen T.V. located there. The memories formed in the Timberline will truly last forever. We can look back on them as high points in our college experience at Mars Hill. The frequent performances. those quick trips for pizza while studying at night, the singing and laughing, all have combined to produce many lasting friendships. Each performance was a special moment in the memory of our lives on the hill. The nights really did come alive in the Timberline. The number of friends. the fun we had, and the memories were what made it such a suc- cess. lj -Georgia Harrington MICh1flN1agu1re PEYYYOYFUS 50519 Ofl11S Contemporary Christian musicians 'lim own style of folk music rational performance. ill On The Hill: Timberline and Kim Thomas put on a fun and inspi- , , Y-, w ', ,.
