Class Competition As the third year ot class competition came to a close, we found that the Seniors had placed first once again. Not to be outdone by the classes prior to theirs, the Seniors wanted to make sure that grad night would be a memorable one. You see, winners of the class competi- tions receive money toward their class fund, which is in turn invested in grad night festivities, for the most part. This year ' s bizarre events included the banana pass, musical hugs, and the much acclaimed male wet T- shirt contest. Al l of these events ore arranged by the student council, which may explain these most unusual activities. The student council works hard, however, to plan each competition so that everyone gets in to the act. Tom Hummer and Kevin Kirwin anxiously await their next hug.

The space shuttle Challenger blasts off from Kennedy Space Center, Florida on April 8, Bombs dropped by Israeli jets explode in Beirut, during an attack on PLO strongholds. 83: Mankinds Endless Search For Security The 1982-83 school year witnessed many tragic and inspiring events. It was the year of the unemployed, while nations of the world tried desperately to recover from the world wide recession. It was also the year that held little respite from the toils of war as over one fourth of the worlds nations clashed over differences caused by their own greedy ambitions. But the one recurring theme in all world events this year was mankinds innate need to feel secure. This theme took shape in many obscure ways: in the START talks and the arms race between the U.S. and U.S.S.R.; in the nuclear protests in Europe; in Barney Clarks heroic quest for life with an artificial heart; and even in the movies as a benevolent extra-terrestrial tried to find his way home. Sluggish economics and a number of armed conflicts dominated the news in 83. Every nations leaders tried a number of programs to bring back economic prosperity but none could be judged brilliant. The military oper- ations, however, had no such problems of importance. The Isrealis launched a massive attack in Lebanon which successfully erased the PLO threat against Isreals northern border and may have destroyed the Arab dream of eliminating Isreal by force. But the operation ended in a nightmarrish massacre as Arab civilians were slaughtered by Lebanese militiamen in a refugee camp. In the Folklands, too.
