Free Time Spent In Many Different Ways ▼ Komet hockey became popu- lar with many students this year. Defenseman Mike Penasse was a favorite with the fans. During the years that oung people are in high school, the activities and lappenings that students attend and participate in are )ften what make school go a ittle easier. Many times these interests ire the same or much similar o the interests of students in nrtually any year. Some- imes, though, they are just jassing fads that are soon orgotten. One activity that has ilways been popular with itudents is high school iports. As always, Archer ootball and basketball lames were often the place o be on a Friday or Saturday night this year. Another subject that takes up much of a teenager's life is music. This year the emer- gence of New Wave on the pop music chart has set yet another style for the tastes of fickle music lovers. Bands such as Blondie, The Cars, and Devo all gained quick popularity with New Wave fans. Disco, which had swept the country with such force in the mid and late seventies, still played a major role in the music world, despite its declining popularity. Hard rock, especially from bands that featured a south- ern style in their music, remained a favorite with many music lovers. For the true music lover, attending a concert seemed the ultimate goal. This goal became a reachable one as groups such as The Commo- dores, Molly Hatchet, and the Charlie Daniels Band performed in the Coliseum. For the student with lim- it ed amounts of time to spare, electronic games were a favorite way to pass time. These games, which could either be hand-held or played with the aid of a tele- vision, thrilled and frus- trated many students. ► k Roller skating was an activity Eat had a large increase in the lumber of participants.
