C i t r Qy r Un Moment Enchantment . Those words captured the mood of Winter Formal perfectly. Held in the Plaza de Cafes, the Winter Formal had an atmosphere that was not only enchanting but romantic as well The Yearbook Staff outdid itself in sponsoring the affair and their efforts were obvious- ly appreciated. They were very good and played a variety of music remarked Jeff Van Den Bosch, about the band Scandal. The royal court consisted of Queen Cecilia Perry.

Argentine troops over ran a small company of British marines on the island. England then responded by de- ploying a task force which recaptured the islands in less than two weeks. Rolands armed conflict against its own citizens reached a successful, but repressive conclusion in late 1982. The military government imposed martial law which successfully thwarted political demonstrations. Four thou- sand protestors were arrested and the Solidarity Union was outlawed. Other conflicts raged endlessly on. Iraq which had in- vaded Iran two years past suffered heavy losses as Iran invaded Iraq in relataliation. Niether side, however, man- aged to win decisively. Russia, too, became more in- volved in there war in Afghanistan committing over 100,000 troops to the already beleagured country. The Russian forces had major setbacks against the Afghan rebels. Brutality took on many forms other than war. Violence both accidental and calculated claimed many victims. The IRA killed more than its shore of people as they maliciously placed bombs in cars on crowded streets in England. America was not immune to this bestiality. There was a rise in the murder rate and other violent crimes. But nothing shocked the nation more than the gruesome cruelty of cyanide laced Tylenol capsules that took the lives of seven innocent people. All the peoples of the Earth wanned grievously under the shadows of turbulence. Not suprisingly, 83 saw the birth of many peace movements which held demonstra- tions advocating a bilateral nuclear freeze and eventual disarmament in a last ditch hope to rekindle whots left of mankinds sanity. The results of there efforts, however, were questionable as the Geneva disarmament talks made little progress and the dedication of the diplomats to the eventual goal of the nuclear freeze became doubtful. Both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. made proposals to eliminate nuclear weapons that were specifically de- signed to sway world public opinion in 83 as President Reagan declared the development of a new U.S. missile defense system. The world was robbed of many great public figures this year. Most significant of these, was the changing of the guard in Russia when their leader Leonid I. Breshnev died of heart failutre (he was succeeded by Yuri V. Andro- pov). America lost many entertainment greats including Henry Fonda, Ingrid Bergman, Arthur Godrey, and Prin- cess Grace of Monaco. The nation also paid its final respects to the fallen war heroes of Vietnam during the long overdue, but none the less appropriate dedication of the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington Mall. 1982-83 had its high and low points. It brought the launch- ing of a new Canadian Constitution and the sinking of the Equal Rights Ammendment in the U.S.; the inspiring flights of the space shuttle Challenger and the sickening crash of a jetliner in Washington ' s Potomac River; the formation of a new United States Football League and a greatly abbrevi- ated NFL football season; social violence and the arrival of an egg-domed extra-terrestrial whose message of gentle wisdom seemed, indeed, unearthly.
