WHAT I-IAPPE ED. '86-'87 brings Cl variety of news orld news, American scandals, state policies, and local politics dominated Diamond Bar's headlines in the 1987 school year. But not all the news was bad. There were many triumphs in the world of sports. Starting with baseball's World Series, it was a New York Mets victory over the Boston Red Sox in a tough seven game series. , In football the New York Giants defeated the Denver Broncos for the championship. In yachting, the America's Cup was once again in the U.S. as Dennis Conner's Stars and Stripes defeated the Australian boat Kookaburra in four straight races. In December a plane named Voyager flew around the world without refueling. The tiny two-person craft braved not only a shaky take-off but storms over Africa in its 10 day journey. In Diamond Bar there was the annual Ranch Festival in October. Also at Diamond Bar High there was a new principal in Robert Corkrum, a new vice-principal in Hank Iohnson, former grade level coordinator and replacing him as GLC was Linda Martinsen. These changes coupled with the move to the Sierra League and some controversial new state laws changed the complexion of DBHS. On the downside, there were many events that made the news. It started with the Rekyjavik, Iceland summit. The summit between President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Cor- bachev ended in a stalemate over the proposed Star Wars defense plan. The major domestic story of the year was a scan- dal involving the sale of arms to Iran to finance South American rebels. The plan was mastermind- ed by Colonel Oliver North and Admiral Iohn Poindexter without consent of the 'government. It ended with the dismissal of North, the resignation of Poindexter, the replacement of the National Security chief, and the replacement of the presi- dent's chief of staff. In local news a new state policy got rid of the smoking area. This prompted the hiring of four new proctors to police the bathrooms It was an active school year both in and out of Diamond Bar, and as junior Ioyce Cruz put it, one not likely to be forgot- ten in the years to come. 250 Closing fNews STANDING.
