WH 11111 TOD OI' Bu I :':f.:..,.Ei::2'eS Sore muscles and tired feet were just a few small sacrifices in order to be the best, and the best was just what the Bonnie Buchanans tried to be. They practiced before and after school to tone up those muscles and tune up their drums. Lisa Miller, senior Bon- nie, said, uThis year was my second year and 1 enjoyed it a lot. Some of my friends are Bonnies and we all had a blast together. Washington D.C. and the Cherry Blossom Festival was the Bonnies' main goal for 1981. They rasied money by selling fruit, atlases, candy, and candy dishes, in order to get to the Festival. Finally on March 31, 1981, after a year of hard work, they left for Washington and the Parade. Junior Jill Barngrover explained, u1've really had a great time this year, and my sister Amy was a Bon- nie too, so it's been really special to me. Working hard with sponsor Mrs. Cynthia Ramsey was why the Bon- nies went far.

John Lennon 1940-80 Mark David Chapman, a 25-year-old Hawaiian, gunned down the legen- dary song writer and singer, John Lennon, on December 8, 1980. The following day, more than 1,000 people mourned outside his luxury apart- m e n t i n u p p e r Manhattan. When he put on pointed black boots, let his hair grow, and pro- tested against the Viet- nam war, so did the rest of the Mrock-Cn'-roll generation. It was the song writing team of John Lennon and Paul McCartney that changed the world of rock-gn'-roll with such songs as ul Want to Hold Your Hand, 46Hard Dayis Night, HYellow Submarine, 6LYesterday, and uLet It Be. One of the most im- portant facts about his death was that there left no hope for the Beatles group of ever reuniting for a final reunion concert. Jr a. Best of '81 . .

It all began on Novem- ber 4, 1979, when the Shah of Iran fled to the U.S. Then, students from the University in Teheran seiz- ed the U.S. Embassy, hop- ing to have the Shah returned for trial. How- ever, the U.S. refused to release him, President Carter ordered all Iranian assets frozen. During the 64 un- believable weeks, millions of Americans shouted slogans toward the Ayatolla. Iranians burned American flags and chanted out against Presi- dent Carter. Nevertheless, Americans showed their patriotism by tying yellow ribbons around millions of trees, street lights, doors, and even buildings. The hostages missed many major events, such as the U.S. winning the gold at the Winter Olympics, the World Series, the Presidential campaigns and Inauguration, Mount St. Helens' eruption, many holidays, and much more. With Algeria acting as a go-between, the U.S. gave the Algerian Government 2.5 billion dollars of Ira- nian assets to hold while they made sure both coun- tries complied. Just before 5 am on the day of the Presidential In- auguration, President Carter received word that the 52 hostages would be released. Indeed, 53 minutes after Ronald Reagan was sworn in as President, the hostages flew out Iranian air space.
