X l'....,, America's future: a revolution in space Above: Computerized television games are just a hint of the techno- logical advances possible in future years. 1:-n-4 fb.-1 A v, America has progressed steadily in technical ad- vancements since the Industrial Revolution. Not only have new ideas been adapted but also old ones have been improved upon. Early inventors had little idea that their creations were just milestones along the road to higher technology. From finger counting to calculators to computers and from horse and buggy to the Model T to today's Corvettes and Cadillacs, we have come a long way! The modern conveniences that we take for grant- ed now are very likely to go through so many alter- ations that in a few years time we won't even recognize them. 1 think there will be a drastic change in Ameri- can lifestyle, said Ivy Devanis. Space travel , for example, 'twill become an every- day occurrence, stated Maria Korienek. Charlie Ryan felt, The space shuttle will be an asset in improving our communications with foreign countries and advancing our medical technology. Some people felt that a drastic all-over change would occur. Lurita Vrabec predicted, We will be living in a science fiction type world, some- what like the characters in Star Wars. With the new discoveries being made and the vast opportunities open to mankind, the future of America looks promising, but also bleak for some. Many students agreed that technology had advanced and improved the appliance field. All appliances will most likely be com- puterized, which will lead to more leisure time, but will also lead to unemployment, said Sue Giovingo. More unemployment will also hurt the economic structure of our country. Chuck Billstrand stated, The economic future of America is contingent upon the stability of income versus work where there will be little distinc- tion between social classes because they will all be striving towards a common goal of economic stability.

A select few find themselves maintaining more rigid schedules than they did during the school year. Summer practices for all sports were needed due to B V the fact that most seasons began soon after the start of the school year. Practices often took place early in the i morning or later in the evening to combat the heat of the midday sun. One football player commented, I had to get up by six every morning just to get all my gear on and warm up by the time practice started. I don't even get up that early during the school year. Others complained that practices interfered with va- cation plans. My family Wanted to take a three week vacation but had to cut it short because the coach only allowed a two week absence, grossed one senior. In addition, cheerladers, Cygnets and the marching band also spent the summer preparing for the upcoming year at various locations around the school during the summer. As one band member exclaimed, Well, they say practice makes perfect! Right: Football is just one sport which holds summer practices. 218 SENIORS
