Pictures have been a source of
entertainment since the early dawn
of man. Prehistoric men made
shadows on cave walls. During the
Renaissance Era, operas and ballets
blossomed into an art. Then came
the discovery of electricity and the
ever popular silent screen. With
Lights! Cameras! Action! The
movies arrived to open the doors to
a new age of creativity and
imagination . . . an escape from the
real world! THE MOVIES.
Moving pictures have been
one of IMSA's favorite
weekend pastimes. Most
students disappeared to West
Plaza or Fox Valley Mall to
catch the latest film and to
escape from the pending
situations and commitments of
school life . . . "the Goodman
essay due tomorrow" . . .
"Gramsch's lab report." At the
cinema, students had a wide
variety of movies to choose
from like: the intense super sci-
fi, "Aliens"; the hilarious
adventures of "Crocodile
Dundee"; the Woody Allen
comedy, "Radio Days"; the
controversial drama,
"Angelheart"; or classic teen
comedies, "From the Hip" and
"The Secret of my Success."
These movies were popular
among IMSA students for
many reasons. "I go to a movie
to get away and to vegetate for
a few hours," said one student.
"It's definitely a source of
relaxation" said another.
But many students also chose
to see specific movies because
they featured their favorite
actors and actresses. "I went to
see 'Top Gun' because Tom
Cruise is totally gorgeous!" said
one IMSA fan.
