The pool had been in ex- istence for 40 years, and there had never been a drowning. People who swam at Lawton Pool will be swinnring at North Side Park swinming pool in the 1983 suDiner. The ejqaansion of the State Street bridge was finally begun in August. For Redskins who drove or walked to school there were a fa minor changes in the usual routine. No right turns off of Spy Run onto State or left turns from State onto North Side Drive were pemiLtted. The noise from the equipment also caused distrac- tions in the classroom.

Harvester chose to keep the Springfield, Ohio, plant open rather than the one in Fort Wayne be- cause Springfield had a more modem faciKty.

Always on the scene, Legend photographers Todd Da- vid, Eric Beltran, and Tim Miller snap the shots. Nervous smiles are abundant as the Koryo students wonder about the coming three days. North welcomes sister school The month of Septenber became very special in North Side history. We as a student body welcomed 18 students and four teachers from Japan to our country, our city, and our school. None of the students had been in the United States previously. As they got off the plane, tensed with ejqpecta- ticHis, th were welcomed by cheer- leaders and students with red and white carnations. Their busy week began with a recept- ion at the Holiday Inn so that they might get to know the families with v iom they would be spending the next three nights. The students todc Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to tour the city and the school. Wed- nesday we welcomed them to school with a rally on the front steps. The students then traveled by a very American school bus to various attractions throu out the Sunmit City. They stopped to see the Old Fort, the view of the city from atop the Fort Wayne National Bank Building, Snider High School, and met Mayor Win Moses, among many other things on their very full agenda. A conaon thread ran between us that destoyed any language barrier. We were all high school students who liked to have fun. Together we danced to the Beach Boys at the Junior-Sen- ior wonen ' s football game, shared lun- ches and shunned the rain during the Hcmecoraing football game. Our desire to learn about each other brought us into discussions about favoirite rock groups, clothes, .and blue jeans. We also exchanged some good-natured kidding. As the days flew by and the time came to say sayonara, lasting friendships had been formed. Beautiful gifts were left as remembrances and promises of letters were given. We had learned a lot from the Jap- anese teachers and students. New games, new words, and n« foods, like dried seaweed, were brougjit to North. tt. Howe joked, I can understand how difficult it mast be to negotiate a war. We had enougji trouble negoti- ating bacon and eggs in the morning. All jcking aside, that week in Sep tenter will not soon be forgotten by North Siders. By: Christine Dennis Koryo visit 13

Trends Story by: Joel Brecount Clothing and recreational activi- ties reveal what styles and pastime activities we enjoyed. Video games, like Iron, Defender, and ZaxJODn, became more and more pop- ular. Biese games developed as a vit- al part of a student ' s free time. The result was a hl er degree of com- plication, vAiich excited the fantasy and raLni of a daring star-raider. Music was another form of student enjoyment. Some of the Redskin popu- lation enjoyed basic rock, while oth- ers listened to country- western or r 0ii wave. The introduction of nesa wave misic changed the way many students looked. Often, an uncountable nunber of stu- dents couH be seen anbling down the hall with a pair of punk shades on. Karen Rohrig, an exchange student from Germany, conmented, The thing I like about the apparel of teen-agers here is how casually they dress. The focus was on clothing that was com- fortable but still stylish and func- tional. The dominant object in every Redskin ' s wardrobe was still the be- loved pair of blue jeans. The differ- ent types of jeans became more wide- spread, bringing baggies, straight legs, and pin-striped. Other nacom- ers to the fashion vrorM were knick- ers, mini and prarie skirts, and ruf- led blouses. Seniors Jon Woods and Bill Habig points of their fall wardrobe.
