It 's Michael Myers Bloody movie terrorizes students Movie fans filled the local the- ater to capacity to watch the hor- ror film, Halloween II. In the bloody sequel to an earlier movie, mass murderer Michael Myers re- turned and continued to kill de- spite numerous attempts on his life. “I thought he would never die,” commented Marcy Goodwin. The movie had an effect on ev- eryone present. “I was so scared I jumped on someone else’s boy- friend,” admitted Cristina Romero. Some people didn’t actually see much of the movie. As Michelle Romero confided, “I only saw about half of it because 1 kept my eyes closed the rest of the time.” Geoff Stevens also missed much of the film. “I couldn’t see or hear most of the time because everyone was screaming and jumping around.” In December; the Rolling Stones presented a concert at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. Barry Maling, who managed to obtain a position in the front row, was among the more than 80,000 fans present. “I got there early,” recalled Barry, “and just kept working my way forward until I got up front. It was a great spot except I got crushed every time they played one of their hit songs.” Faculty member Georgianne Schneider also attended the con- cert. Mick Jagger was “electrify- ing!” said Miss Schneider. “It was one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen.” “Don’t Stop Believin’” was the theme for the third annual basket- ball homecoming held on February 19. Fourteen girls, representing most of the organizations in the school, competed for the title of Basketball Sweetheart. Finalists were chosen by the student body. The varsity boys’ basketball team then selected the queen from the six top vote-getters. Nancy Navar- rete, representing the cheers and poms, was voted the 1982 Basket- ball Sweetheart. Past basketball coaches were the guests of honor for the evening as the game with San Manuel was the last to be played in the old gym.
