'rr Change, throughout the nation. ln 1988, for the first time in eight years, the government will be almost totally revamped. We'll have a new presi- dent, vice president, Presidential Cabinet, and rt new Congress. It may seem strange but we won't refer to Ronald Reagan . as , President any- more. Having a new President might feel a little different at first, but we've made it through two World Wars and a Great Depression so we'll definitely make it through this one. Here at Pine Forest, our gov- ernment went through some changes too. Breaking all past traditions, Pat Pugiisi had a new approach to cam- paigning which resulted in his vic- tory. He and the restiof the Student Council no longer had to meet only on the first and third Wednesdays of each month. This year gave them a third period class to handle all the headaches and the triumphs of Stu- dent Government. Of course, there's the factual change, but what about the change in our feelings? 20 years ago, teen- agers protested Vietnam War. Now we're beginning to understand what really went on. The veterans are be- ing honored instead of ridiculed. Maybe the war was lost, but in a sense if was also won. It may have in AM ' to Ha ve you got that spirit? Student council pres- ident, Pat Puglisi asks as he adds a link to the sophomore chain. Missing In Action . . . Amy Vanlcrburg.

Our parent's generation has been known to actively protest the war. But our generation, instead of putting up protest posters, wore wrist bands to show our support. When walking down the hallowed halls of PFSH, one may have noticed many students who wore red, aluminum wrist bands which bore the inscribed named of fellow American still missing in ac- tion. r r Another Olympic year! Theylre al- ways so exciting! The pride we have for our nationlshows as we cheer our ' Olympic athletes on to victory. The Winter Olympics were held in Cal- gory, Canada. This was the first time rodeo events were held in the Olym- pics. -The Summer Olympics will be held in Seoul, Korea. A country once torn apart by war, will now help bring countries together in goodwill. This year's Olympics are sure to be the most exciting yet! To help cele- brate the coming sports event, North Carolina hosted the Olympic Festi- val last summer. The festival was a gathering of many young talents who came to experience Olympic compe- tition. Last summer found several Trojans attending this awesome col- lection of athletic prowess. Hearts also change. Our country reaches out to those in need. A little girl loses herfamily in a plane crash. The country responds with gifts, cards and most of all understanding. Hunger and starvation exist in our own city, as well as other countries. We reach out with money, food, and clothing. Maybe the compassion has always been there, now we're just not afraid to show it. Organizations such as Key Club and Tri-hi-Y are com- munity affiliated clubs. This year found them helping the many elderly and needy in our city, through chop- ping wood, providing food, and even adopting an elderly citizen. The many other clubs at PFSH, were also involved with helping, our communi- ty in one way or another. Eighty-eight, a year of change. This year brought many changes to our lives both nationally and interna- tionally. Many significant things oc- curred which will deiinitely find themselves in history books, and P.F. shared in experiencing some of these changes. Yes, we're movin' on up, movin' on up through a year of change.
