E.T. appeal hits extra hard I thought it was surprising how the soles of Reeses Pieces went up. I didn ' t thinl it would have that much of an effect. The it junior Mary Kennedy spoke of was the movie, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial. That wrinkled critter inspired Hallmark writers to write E.T. cords; glasses were designed and sold at Pizza Hut with scenes from the movie on them, people wore him laced in their shoes and on the front of their pajamas. What was it about the movie and the character that captured the hearts of the juniors? Kennedy said she thought the little girl was cute, and E.T. reminded her of Yodo (from Star Wars). The way E.T. walked, talked, and the way he wiggled his mouth helped him gain his popularity. Could this be the beginning of on E.T. sago? A sequel is being made to enable E.T. to wiggle his way back into the hearts of many. E.T. captures the tiearts of many juniors. Jon Metcalf Todd Miles Mictielle Mitctiel!

However, there are things like decorations, and the band yet to be paid for. A large part of the funds were acquired by something called junior magazine sales. And this year ' s juniors sold more subs- criptions than any other junior class has. According to Curt Zurcher, Curt Zurcher poses with some of the magazines he sold. who was top salesman by selling 36 subscriptions, McCalls was the most popular. Reader ' s Digest, T.V. Guide, and many other magazines seen in stores were also very popular among subs- cribers. Zurcher seemed to have little trouble selling. He said he sold subscriptions to neighbors, rela- tives, and friends, and only five people turned him down. One man on his block turned him down because he only bought things from kids in his own neighbor- hood. Juniors 91
