A Space Shuttle Celebrates 25th Anniversary The Space Shuttle is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Launched first in April, 1981, the space shuttles have been doing satellite repair, maintaining the moon colony, and helping with weather prediction. The shuttle pictured above was the Space Shuttle Columbia. The Columbia was launched March 14, 1980. The shuttle first carried only two passengers. Now they are designed to carry up to 100 people and large quantities of weight-up to a 100 ton payload. The space shuttla was conceived after the end of the Apclic missions. The shuttles are now consider:; : be one of the major advances of the •;.:=: age. Photo Courtesy of AP Wire Servit ' ; School Sued by Community Pillars The Anytown Public School System has been sued by the Noname city council for damaging the town ' s reputation by allowing obscene pictures to be printed in the annual. A similar case occurred in Arkansas in 1979-1980 schoolyear. In the latter, 3 seniors in Beta Club, a class officer, and 30 other students were suspended for three days for making obscene gestures in pictures for the annual. Though the staff tried, some pictures could not be retrieved, and ended up in the yearbook. This year, though, the town is apparently attempting to sue the school for damaging the town ' s reputation. The case will go to court in May, 2005. Draft Passed by Congress One of the most controversial issues of the past two centuries has been the use of a draft. The draft was first used in the Civil War. There were ways to get out of it then: if you had $300, you paid and were free for a year; pay someone to go in your place; or, just simply disappear until the end of the war. The Spanish War was all volunteer, W.W. 1 was all volunteer but then came the cruncher-W.W. II. The need for man- power was so great that it just had to be done. Korea was all volunteer but then came Vietnam. The college students protested, militant anti-draft groups formed, and people went to Canada. The violence culminated at the college of Kent State where National Guard troops were s«nt in. There was some jostling, then the guardsmen fired killing 4 students. After Vietnam the U.S. tried an all-volunteer army, but it didn ' t work; the draft returned in February of 1982. In 1980 and ' 81 there were riots, sit-in ' s, and other various types of protest. The picture below shows rioters being arrested in New York in January of 1981. The draft has become a commonplace thing in our lives, but recently there have been gathering protests over the draft. It is hoped by the Ziggy administration that the protests will not be as severe as those of twenty years ago. Photo Courteay of AP Win Serrice 344 The Future

Jda cA 24, 2004 Angle Jewel, Diane Johnson. Paul Bowden. Todd Lucas. Katrina Tlllery Class of ' 81 to Host Eighties Day HTHS 99 Lake Hamilton School is going to sponsor an Eighties Day with everyone dressing up, and a dance with the music of the decade being played. The activity is to be sponsored by the Class of 1981 and will coincide with the Class of ' 81 ' s reunion being held at Lake Hamilton on March 25, 2004. The reunion is intended to be as realistic a trip into nostalgia as one could wish. The music, fads, clothing, and movies will all be represented at the dance. The pictures shown above are representations of the clothing. If you will notice, the baggy jeans, sweaters, and tennis shoes and loafers all have come back into style this winter. The members of the Class of 1981 are asked to bring records and 8-track tapes for use. The tapes will probably include such artists as REO Speedwagon, Andy Gibb, Bee Gee ' s, Queen, Barry Manilow, Allen Par- sons ' Project, Billy Joel, and many more. Many old movies will be shown during the two day reunion. Such smash hits as Kramer vs. Kramer, The Empire Strikes Back, All That Jazz, Smokey and the Bandit-Part Two, Flash Gordon, and the movie with the cult of its own. The Rookie Horror Picture Show. There will be an antique auto show of the 1980 models of the Trans Am, and the Camero, with the oldest car being a red Datsun 1600 from the Smithsonian Institute. In our knowledge, this reunion is one of the most extensive ever planned by a class at Lake Hamilton and it is hoped by all, that the journey into nostalgia is a most memorable one. The Good Old Days The gas prices hit an all time high again this month of $6.49. The reason for the latest increase is due to OPEC driving up the prices for the third consecutive month. The price per barrel now stands at an all time high of $157 for crude oil. The gas prices started rising in the early 70 ' s and have continued almost unabated since then. It is the belief of this columnist that it is up to us to act and to quit waiting until the prices get out of the reach of the average citizen. s The Future 343

President Ziggy Demonstrates Noblesse Oblige Photo Courtesy of AP Wire Service President Ziggy ' s Inauguration costing approximately $13 million, was the most costly since President Reagan ' s in 1981, costing almost 11 million dollars. The pomp and circumstance of the Inauguration was greatly ex- panded, and it is estimated that the formal balls alone cost approximately three million dollars. The Inaugural Parade cost a little over one million dollars. The accommodations, the platforms, and the grandstand for the guests cost somewhere in the neighborhood of eight million dollars. The last million dollars is listed under miscellaneous ! The Inauguration, while being especially costly and lavish, was accompanied by the heartfelt ap- proval of the American public. So, once again, for the 43rd time in American history, the change of power has been accomplished in a peaceful and orderly manner. Soup Sales Skyrocket Credit Given to Lake Hamilton Students David Worley and Kelly Perkins Lake Hamilton has once again surpassed Lakeside Schools and the Hot Springs City Schools in the annual soup label drive. Begun in the late 1970 ' s at Lake Hamilton Elementary School, the race for the most Campbell ' s soup labels has grown from inter-homeroom competi- tion to an all-out sprint to the local supermarkets by students of the Hot Springs schools. Mayor John Baker has declared this week Soup Week , and predicts that the deadline next Monday will be met with even more labels coming in th an before. Interviews with market owners and managers show an overwhelming increase in sales; not only in the soup sections, but also in other food departments. What started out as a project to obtain more equipment for Lake Hamilton Elementary Schools - both playground as well as audio-visual- has steamed to a well-participated - in quest for the competition of such city projects as a new park with equipment donated by the schools, extensive materials given to the city library, and each year one of the participating schools receives half of the collected labels for its own school ' s use. Competition between the schools as well as the class and grades of the individual schools has reached an outlandish peak. Lake Hamilton, for example, had its own Soup Week; the cafeteria served three varieties of soups for lunch, money was raised by guessing the amount of noodles found in one gallon of Campbell ' s Chicken Noodle Soup, students wrote essays on the production costs of various soup manufacturers, and the COKE taste tests were taken over by a Soup Brand taste test! All in all, the week of the first annual Soup Week has gone well so far. There have been reports of students admitting to the fact that they are getting rather tired of hot soup for lunch each day, but the new toys for the city and schools are worth the small inconvenience. A special thanks for the success of the week goes to Lake Hamilton Schools for their co-operation and fo --ding of the drive, which has n-5.de the market managers, it.p.eeially, SOUP-er happy!
