Original Toronto Star caption: Lured by games: Video games have become an addiction for some students from Danforth Technical High School; here glued to the games at the Happy Sailor Submarine near the school on Greenwood Ave. The school's vice-principal says they're cutting classes; spending their lunch money and even stealing to feed their addiction; and he's cracking down on the younger ones.
