by Stephanie Williams 1978-79. When you look back over these two Years. what comes to your mind? Perhaps your favorite movie. or television show, or maybe your favorite recorc Was fashion your bag? Whatever you remember about these two years. no one can deny that these years produced significant changes in our way of thinking and living. Over these next six pages, we will try to recall some of the more memorable aspects of the years. So relax, and think back over the “SIGNS OF OUR TIMES.” The Top Ten Movies. by Bill Sneed The 1978-79 school year was a great one for movies. The best movie by far, was Superman. Christopher Reeve headlined this show which had big name stars as Glenn Ford and Marlon | she-tele lon Another favorite of the hard-core movie buffs was Same Time Next Year. Alan Alda starred with Evelyn Burstyn in this chro- nology of adultery and friendship combined in one happy-sad film. The Deer Hunter took everyone by surprise. The Viet Nam war and close family and friend relationships formed super twists to stir the mind and mix the emotions. If you have ever thought about smuggling Hash out of Turkey, Midnight Express will definitely make you reconsider. This is a magnificently written and directed film. There are scenes of brutal violence, but they just help convey the shock of this documentary. (Yes, it really did happen to somebody.) The funniest movie of the year by far was Up In Smoke, Cheech and Chong’s first cinematic attempt. The Chinese-Mexi- can comedy team scored a big hit with the hilarious story ro} eo} ol smokers cruising in a reefer-lined van. For those with a raw sense of humor Richard Pryor In Concert was a big hit. The die-hard Pryor fans seemed to enjoy this movie more than people who w ere not prepared for what they heard. Pryor teamed with Bill Cosby and a host of other stars to make - California Suite a well received movie, although it did get drawn out and complicated at the end, it was one of the best comedies. Gabriel Kaplan wrote and starred in a fun movie about a man ie quitting his job to become a small-time college basketball coach. Fast Break also starred New Jersey Nets’ forward Bernard King, who many of us remember from his glory days with the UT Vols. King’s acting is not quite on the level of his basketball skills, but | he received good review. Clint Eastwood really changed his image in Every Which way But Loose. He usually portrays a good guy, but, for a change, he is normal and even vulnerable. If it is any indication, his co-star was an orangutang. To round out the consenus of top 10 movies, we have the | bone-chiller Halloween. This film did get a bit long at the end and | the plot could even be considered silly, but the sheer shock of | some of the scenes did draw raves from the crowds |

Parents are becoming a little more lenient and are trusting their chil- dren more. Curfews used to be around 11:00 but now they have gone up to 12:00 maybe even 1:00. Sometimes if the curfews are too loose, kids get into trouble and parents regret letting them stay out. So our advice to you from the Annual Staff is to obey your parents and do not take advantage of their generosity. Kids need to stop thinking of themselves (all the time) and have more concern for who has to be responsible for you (mom and dad). Everybody needs somebody to care for them and keep them in line. Parents are only looking out for your best interest. Curfews are one way, they can protect you from the crowd and the law which the crowd may lead you into. So stay out of trouble and come in when your parents advise you to! Is it worth it?
