Odds-N-Ends Over the course oi a year at Ignatius the number ot things that make up student life is so high that even Mr B. couldn't count them Unfortunately, even the average Calc student could count the pages of this yearbook. For this reason, it is impossible for us to cover everything But fear not! Since our infinitely thoughtful editor knows that all facets of Ignatius are important, he has granted us two pages to reminisce over those little things that add spice to our years in high school At Open House, future freshmen jnd their parents walk around and try to find out as much as they ran about Ignatius. Cars Washington, one of the school's great entertainers, lets his magical fingers go in the student center. In the background. Craig Paelh expresses his opinion of the music with a twenty dollar bill. At the Tae Kwon Do exhibition these Martial artists kick up their heels .... but they're not doing the Charleston. 24 Odds and Ends There are many things that go on. revolving around the school, that are not organized by the school. Some of the students that created the spirit of Ignatius without official help were Lawrence Latimer and Matt Becker with their own Becker-Latimer Open Golf Tourney. Adding a touch of class to the lunch periods were students like Andy Gulla. Dale Hartman, and Gary Washington who displayed their musical talent by tickling the ivories in the Student Center There are also many other events that just wouldn't fit in the yearbook for one reason or another Among these are open house and certain assemblies. Although it wasn't well publicized, the martial arts club sjx nsored an impressive Tae kwon Do assembly after school hours. Though these events haven't been covered as thoroughly as they deserve, this is no indication of their importance On the contrary, these events will be well remembered as they are the ones that make up our daily life.

Uh, welcome to the fads section of our yearbook My name is Bob Mackenzie and this is my brother Doug. DM: Like. Good day, eh?

Geddy Lee (Ten bucks is ten bucks) So. like, take off-to the Great White North! Take off —it's a beauty way to go. TAKE OFF! You hosers. Whether you like it or not, the Preppy look was definitely the biggest fashion news in 1982 The strange thing was that there were as many anti-Preppies as there were members of the top drawer society. Between these two cultures was waged the battle of the monogram The famous Izod alligator came to be the most widely recognized symbol of preppiness Save the alligator, eat a preppie!” became the battle cry of the liberal cult. To sum up the controversey. it could be said that preppies were either loved or hated, but never ignored I looked at my rador scanner and saw that there were about six on my tail! So I went down the ground, pulled a quiet reverse, and got 'em all with a smart bomb.” Who's talking' With the advent of modern microship technology, chances are it might be an ordinary businessman describing his latest foray to a video game arcade. This activity has become quite common now not only among businessman, but in all walks of life. The industry did not really boom until 1978 when the Bally Co., which produces many pinball games, released a new game to go with its other inventions. The name of the game was SPACE INVADERS. The object of the game was to defend the Earth from great numbers of aliens w-ho descended to the surface with increasing speed. The following year. The Atari Co. released a game called ASTEROIDS, and from then on the field has literally exploded into a multimillion dollar industry. The popularity of these games is obvious, as each video machine takes in about ISO dollars a week. Multiply this figure by the number of machines operating, and one begins to comprehend the size of the industry. In addition to this, media coverage of the whole phenomena has increase, and books dealing with the various aspects of the games from how-to manuals to the psychological affect of these games have appeared. For the player, however, the only concern is to attain the best score possible and en|ov it. The games provide an easy war to release agressions by taking them out on an inanimate” object. In the long run. they have the physical benefit of improbing eye-to-hand coordination. Whatever the reason for play may be, the ultimate purpose is to have fun. which is what the video game mania is all about 26 Fad
