Camera sales are up
By PALL SIEGFRIED According to "Popular Photography”, camera sales are up 28 per cent, so a lot of people are thinking about buying a camera. Whether the camera is an instamatic or a 35 millimeter, there is a wide selection. There are many ways to choose a camera. Some of the ways are to go to a photography store and pick up some literature on the types of cameras that you would like to buy. Also, the owner or clerk should give you any information on the best quality camera for the money and the various prices of different makes of cameras. Another way to decide on a camera is to make a chart listing the cameras on one
A PARENT IS MADE VICTIM DURING MR. IDEN’S CLASS ON SWAP DAY.
Adults go to school
By SUSAN FREEMAN There is one day a year when a student can feel smarter than an adult. This year it happened on November 15. On this day, known as Swap Day, adults could be seen roaming the halls with a rather confused look on their faces. This day is, perhaps, the only day a parent will ask directions and, perhaps, the only day they’ll end up in the wrong place anyway. Some of their classes may run

side and all possible features of the cameras on the other side. This way, you can compare the cameras and find out which one has the most features at the best price. Once the choice has been narrowed down to a few cameras, the quality of the camera should be checked, such as how well the camera can be repaired, the reputation of the camera, how well the camera is advertised and built, and the quality of the lenses (in 35 mm cameras). Most of these conditions are tested and the results can be found in “Popular Photography” and “Modern Photography" in the sections called “Modern Tests” and “Labßeport.”

Movie reviews By STEVE PEACH Disco has gone through many new phases since John Travolta and “Saturday Night Fever,” one of which is a fairly new kind of entertainment, Roller Disco. Skatetown USA is about a disco roller rink with a wild and crazy disc-jockey who controls the show. As I watched the flick I got the feeling that I was watching studio. 54 on wheels. People dancing with skates, listening to great groups like Dave Mason and GQ singing their latent disco top 10 hit “disco nights.” As in all movies you have your good guy and you have your bad. The hero is dressed in white and has a simple, mild-mannered name of Stan Nelson. The bad guy on the other hand, is just what he plays himself up to be, a rough and tough hood who is the leader of the west side gang and his name is Ace. Sound like something you have heard before? Ace has a little sister, though, who is not like her brother at all. She is petite and is star struck as her and the star’s eyes meet each others for the first time. As all roller rinks do, they hold contest to see who is the best pair of skaters in their area. Our hero and his new found love skate their hearts out and use grace and beauty in expressing their feelings for each other as well as grabbing first place. The movie moves back and forth from roller rink to snack bar to the locker room showing the cut up escapades of Flip Wilson and some of the other crazies in the cast. The cast includes a number of stars who really haven’t made it big yet. The people who made the movie famous are Scott Baio, Moreen McCormick, and Gary Mute among others. The movie is rated PG and I think this flick is worth paying $3 to see. Even if you don’t like disco you might be surprised.

Students learn of human anatomy by disecting pigs
By BETH PRITCHARD The human physiology class of Wawasee High School is disecting pigs, but have you ever stopped to wonder why? Human physiology is the study of the human body and anatomy, but what does this have to do with disecting pigs? Tliis year, as in previous years, each member of the class will be disecting a baby pig. The students disect the certain part of the pig that corresponds to the chapter that they are studying on the human body. So far this year, they have taken the skin off the pigs to look at the muscles and are now looking at the brain and central nervous system. Angie Augsburger, one of the students of the class, said that being able to see the organ they are talking about helps her to better understand it and how it functions. When asked why he has the class disect a pig instead of something else, Mr. Karl Keiper, Wrestling season to open Dec. 4 By LINDA PERRY The Wawasee High School wrestling team will open its season December 4 in a tough conference battle at North Wood. The Warriors have seven returning lettermen on this year’s roster. Among them are ’79 sectional winners Kevin Walker, Terry Rinker. Arnold Garza, Doug Mock, and Rusty Morrison. Other letter winners are Jeff Glon and Oscar Hernandez. According to head coach Richard Welborn, the main problem with this year’s team will be lack of experience, particularly in the upper weight divisions. Welborn is also worried about injuries and he has been having his team do lots of conditioning exercises to help lessen the threat of injury. Warrior wrestling fans can get a sneak preview of this year's team at the intrasquad meet tomorrow evening at 7 at the high school gym.
