J. R. Bites The Dust JR Ewing kept television fans in suspense while Queen had music lovers eating dust. W ho, in the name of Ewing oil, shot J.R.? The T.

Students spent a great deal of their leisure hours watching television, making it a favorite pastime. Probably the strangest aspect of it all was the development of male interest in soap operas. It was like the plague the way the soap fever spread; everyone had it. Tommy Johnson would inquire of Math teacher Ms. Bates upon entering studying hall, ”What happened on General Hospital yesterday?” Although television was a favorite, sometimes students just wanted to sit back and listen to their favorite album or hit 45.

She could always go home and find out whether Luke and Laura would get assinated by the Port Charles Mafia. Whatever the weather or the size of the pocketbook, forms of entertainment could be bought easily in a nation of fun-hungry consumers. A touch of class. Off to the opera Julie Ryder partakes of a more refined form of entertainment than usual. What a smile. Jennie Alwood is quite amused by the amateur photography of Betty Moore. ENTERTAINMENT 19
