I On January 28, 1986 a national disaster oc- curred. The space shut- tle Challenger with seven astronauts aboard, in- cluding teacher Chrlstle McAuliffe, stunned the world when it exploded minutes after blast off. North Carolina students held a particular interest in this mission because both a teacher and a Beaufort native QMlke Smlthj were involved. Above is a chronological sequence of the lift off. tPictures: Mrs. Mabel Lanier, Chinquapin, N.C.b Young, far from home, lonely and marked by their short hair- cuts. These are all characteris- tics of a significant percentage of the population of our town . . . the Marines. The town of Jacksonville has vastly in- creased in size because of the addition of the military base Camp Lejeune in 1941. Al- though the crime rate has in- creased, the effects of the mili- tary have been more positive than negative. Businesses, res- taurants and recreations have flourished because of the need to entertain these young men. The majority of our business comes from the Marines, said senior Mike Baldwin, an usher at the Cardinal Theater. Downtown Cotherwise known as Court Streetl, a place where some objectionable activities occurred, became the center of improvement. The City Council devised plans to bring about change in the downtown re- gion. Bars were shut down and Marines: Men of the World -+ this part of town was designed for practical purposes. And then there was the basic military family man. He was transferred all over the world with his family accompanying him, or he left his family in a time of international conflict. Many students were temporary residents because of their fa- thers' orders. Junior David Magnuson commented, l've been in Jacksonville several times, but we keep moving all the time - l've moved four- teen times in sixteen years, l've never been in one place long enough to settle down. Other students were without a live-in father for a period of time be- cause of their orders to such places as Okinawa or Japan, or cruises in the Mediterranean or the Caribbean, or cold weather training in Norway. The Libyan incident also de- manded the fathers be away from their families. Khaddafi claimed an excessive area of in- ternational waters and a cha lenge to the United States J trespass Another incidel was the Beirut bombing whiz caused the military to ser men to increase security. Tv students, junior Chandi Combs and freshman Step anie Hoff, both had fathe who went to Beirut. Stephan remarked, lt scares me lu cause he can get called to du anytime, but I guess since he doing it for our country il okay. There's no substitute for voting!

Covering their boards for that always short ride to the beach, Alan Woodard and Larry Keith both agreed that the waves did not have to be huge to be gnarly. Although slx foot waves were not com- mon to Topsail Beach, they were welcome when they came.

Junlor Sandra Baldwin reads a letter from her father who was sent to Libyan waters when Khaddafi presented the U.S. with a challenge. In a militarytown sometimes letters have to represent dads in a time of worldly conflict.
