 .. .And the envelope please The American public is constantly being bombarded by propaganda from the media, radio, TV, books, movies—all who desire to sell you their product—whether it be soap, an image, or a superstar. It has reached the point where there are literally thousands of stars in every field of enter- tainment—all striving to be a superstar, to be known as The Best. This has resulted in a mostly boring, sometimes repetitious series of award shows seen in multitude on television each year. It started with the Academy Awards, and has grown to en- compass awards for everything under the sun—Emmy Awards. Grammy Awards, Country Music Awards—just to name a few. These awards, however, have not always been consistent with what the younger generation (that’s us) think the current rage or the most popular. Therefore, a poll was taken of Paseo students to find out what their favorites REALLY were for 77. Now, here are the winners of the First An nual Paseon Entertainment Awards. FAVORITE MOVIES 1.

FIRE!!! The Childish Bet I feel that anyone who would jeopardize his education and future by burning a room in his school to win a $5.00 bet should be horsewhipped. Anyone who will sit around afterward and say they didn’t care about the room burning up and also say they wish the whole building burned down is as bad as the person who would bet or dare a person to burn down their school and should be punished. Soul Searching---- does this mean you're searching for your soul? Well may even be you’re trying to reach a goal. a destination, a place to go. Soul Searching is seeking and finding, Not letting anyone stand in your way. But the one thing you must know before you search is what you’re searching for and is it worth it. Soul Searching can mean a lot of things. Searching to find. Searching to kill, Searching to keep Searching for love and happiness among you and persons around you. Students, teachers and everyone needs to search for their souls because of the simple fact so many people are lost within themselves (Whether to do this or whether to do that) People are so busy trying to do what’s in and don’t really know themselves. Soul Searching is needed. Simply because everyone is playing a role. There’s no need in this. Why not be yourself. Stop trying to satisfy others and satisfy yourself sometimes. Be positive and with no doubt you will find your soul and yourself! And it will be worth the trip. You keep on Searching until you reach the highest ground. .......Stephanie Owens Walking that road human or beast doesn’t thoroughly understand. Searching for that block unknown to man. Hearing the cry of pain and misery. We continue to struggle the hill of our destiny. While our passing of wicked and phony smiles, we wonder if they’ll be truthful just once in a while. Then we find the sleeper refusing to wake, unaware of the tricks of Satan to possess his mind and soul determined to take. But who really cares where ever we go. Whether it be high or low. We’re Soul Searching, that’s our theme, ex- ploring our model and discovering our dream. Now we see our dream, but also the might. How could it ever be reality without the light.
