This year, with laced up shoes laced down, stick pins gleaming and double pierced ears becoming more popular than ever, khacki, sparkly, and silky were all shimmering in the nearest disco. Boxer style shorts and fashionable hats were also in style. Yes, this is the year spiked heels returned. A little higher now and most likely electroplated. Disco mania was the biggest fad of the year. If you weren't listening or dancing to disco music you were watching it in the nearest cinema. We were struck with the tragic plane crash of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and members of other groups, Chicago and Blood, Sweat and Tears also met with untimely deaths. ln the news, aside from usual soaring prices, economically 1978 wasn't so bad. The long coal strike was a great threat to us because we were freezing, but not as much as those south of us. Michigan recorded its worst blizzard ever. Last year the western states were struck with a serious drought, while this year they recorded record breaking floods. The Panama canal treaty posed the most controversial political issue, it was signed. One positive addition to A.B.H.S. was the Nautical Shoppe. An addition which was a great disturbance to many students was a cyclone fence with barbed wire at the top that surrounds the school grounds, to prevent vandalism. New Baltimore businesses are booming, but unfortunately two were burning, Kandlers and the Blue Whale. Next year will bring many new staff members, new fads, and new friends. We hope 1978 was a good year for you. 4 Cap 3's Company Love Boat Fantasy Island 8 is Enough Jaws ll Omen II
