Pathfinder as worldwide happen- ings marked the year. The AIDS epidemic continued to rapidly escalate, sparking in- creased efforts in awareness of the disease with the only viable preventions being education and monogamy. ' Lt. Col. Oliver North testified to a Senate Committee about the Iran-Contra affair, a complex web of actions involving the sale of arms to Iran with those funds diverted to the Nicaraguan Contras.

Money problems plagued television evangelists in a year mark- ed by allegations of immoral misconduct against Jim and Tammy Bakker and Jimmy Swaggert. It was a hopeful year, too as President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev joined in Washington, D.C. to sign an historic missile treaty. America also had another reason to celebrate as the United States constitution turned 200 years old. The new year brought Olympics and it also brought an election year, a year some students would be able to vote and take a more active role in the world beyond 21400 E. Pathfinder.

That depends on the individual, Many had a while left at school. Others were going off to college. Some were going to special career or trade schools, while quite a few were going straight to jobs. When asked about after high school plans many students had very definite ideas. I'm going to a university after graduationf' said senior Paul Spere. I want to go to college and after I graduate, I'm planning to go to law school. I want to be a corporate lawyer, said sophomore Karen Johnson. I intend to go to college and study surgical nursing, remark- ed Heather Cardamone, senior. Some students were already getting a head start on their futures. Right now, l'm attending cosmetology school. After gradua- tion, I want to study nursing, said junior Stacey Sarratt. Other students weren't so sure about their plans for after graduation. I know I want to go to college. I'm not sure what I'll major in, where I'll go, or what l'll do after college, but I know lim going to college! said sophomore Christie Lee. Plans for the future were nice to have, but sometimes what was planned and what actually happened were two very different things. I never really wanted or intended to become a school prin- cipal, but that's the way things happened, said Principal Bob Corkrum. i'l'm happy with what l'm doing now, but before too long l'll probably be doing something entirely different. What does the future hold for the grads and gradseto-be? No one is certain now, but it should make interesting reunions in the future. 262 Closing,'Future i ' ' L 1. ,E A ..
