Just One Of Those Days Well, the parking lot was probably empty at 7:25, but since I get here at 7:30, I am forced to park on I Street and trudge up the hill. I do my first three periods of yesterdayis homework in homeroom. Sleep through half of Mrs. X's lst period lecture because I just couldn't miss Johnny Carson last night - David Brenner hosted. I get caught while changing classes by an overly-observant teacher who hands me a pink slip just for wearing sweat pants, a ski jacket, and green and orange tennis shoes! She lets me off for the gumg I guess she felt sorry for me. In 3rd period I forget to bring my book for the third time this week. I wonder if she'll let me go and get it. My locker is just right down the hall. Whew! Finally made it to lunch - except that I left it on the kitchen counter at home! Oh, but there's a great choice of delicious, nutritious food from the vending machines, if they are working. I bum some money off my loyal friends so I can buy Chef Boy-Ar- Dee ravioli, Nacho Cheese Doritos, a Baby Ruth, and a Diet Dr. Pepper. Yum! I study for a test in activity period, and in 5th I bite my nails to make a decent grade. Sneak into the bathroom without a pass to comb my hair and fix the ban- danna that was maliciously yanked off. fOoh, what a mess!J Ah, Hi Sister, I was just leaving . . . What, ME SMOKE? In the bathroom of all places?!? Back to class -for a pop test- what fun. 3:10 - The countdown for the bell . . . three . . . two . . . one . . . Rush to the lockers where I catch up on the latest gossip about who's asking Joe or Mike or Greg to Satur- day's dance. I cram into the bathroom and get out of that uni- form into some all-American JEANS! I'm human again. What a relief! All-American idol worship occurs even at M.S.M. Marijo Faryewicz refuses to open another book. 24 Student Life Come to Marian Hall Cafeteria and try our Diet er's Delight.

YI Nl zwmox 'Saturday Night Fever 'Star Wa rs Close Encounters of the Third Kind Oh God! The glittering world of entertainment con- stantly changes in the search for that elusive star quality and audience appeal. The deaths this year of Elvis Presley, Charlie Chaplin, and other show business greats greatly upset their millions of fans. Meanwhile, new performers come to our attention: the short-lived Sex Pis- tols, Andy Gibb, Elvis Costello, Foreigner, and Player make their own changes in the music world, while rising stars Richard Dreyfuss, Star Wars' Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford, Steve Martin, Marsha Mason, and even Andy Kauf- man contributed new style and personality to the stage, screen, and television. The listings shown here are the results of a poll given to the student body, asking their favorite celebrity, movie, singer, book, and tele- vision show: Comedian Steve Martin, inciden- tally, can claim superstar rank at M.S.M., receiving the vote of over one-third of the stu- dents.
