79' 80 Happenings . . . Another decode has passed, and within that decode many things changed our lives, politically as well as socially. In doing so, if affected our school life. The deaths of many personalities left us saddened as we both felt the loss of them and thanked them for the richness they had brought to our lives: John Wayne. Janis Joplin, Charlie Chaplin, Elvis Presley, Hubert Humphrey. Jimi Hen- drix, Jack Denny, Pope John Paul, Ronnie Van Zant and the list went on. The seventies also met with criticism — it became known as the Me Decade as the self became the ail important. It was the first complete decade that any of us lived through, and the decade was marked by extremes: fantastic feats, blaring scandals, and human tragedies. Remember the first test tube baby? the saccharin ban? the Jonestown tragedy? the Who con- cert in Cincinnati? the Watergate scandal and Nixon's resignation? the gas lines in the summer of 1979? the day Sky Lab fell? the price of gasoline when it was 24.9 a gallon? The Seventies — we made history! i WWI TV m xccattUBl. 22 Student Life
