Q The Summer- cial?-GS exciting as the 1984 Summer Olympic - Games. Not since the year 1932 has Los An- geles been honored as the host of such a magnificent event and the final result was a complete success. All the years of planning and organizing seem to have paid off. From the moment the Olympic Torch began its long journey across America and arrived at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on July Q 28, 1984 to the grand finale on August 12, 1984, never have the games been better pre- sented. The excitement of the many competi- tions and the anticipation and enthusiasm of the huge crowds provided the necessary ele- ments to make the games an event long to be remembered. Among the thousands of people contribut- ing to the success of the games, Marina's flag and drill team deserve special recognition. Performing at the opening and closing cere- monies is an honor the entire school can be proud of. Hundreds of American athletes also deserve great recognition. ln the many differ- ent events they showed the strength and de- termination which make our country the great nation that it is, winning literally hun- dreds of Olympic medals. Although the games are now over, they proved to be of great historical significance. Watching the many nations unite in peace and friendship is something not to be forgotten for years to come. i The Coliseum and the fans prepare for the XXlllrd Olympiad. , ' -:i:2:,5'15--- fm: fr'-S I -Ui. -Q ' J-9, ' , ' L' , l qs ' 4'?'i 9'7 . --.n -if t f' 'n.:441.' 3 -tin we WFT! .- if -xv-iii x ..
