8th Grade in There All the Way In the words of 8th grade class mem- ber Gwen Dickson,uWe looked pretty good this year! Gwen is iust one of the 40 girls and 28 boys who made up the 1982-83 eighth grade class. This year, the eighth graders had booths at both the Halloween Carnival and at the Holiday Bazaar, and nothing could have been done without their eight-person student council. Julie Baskin, Florence Geck, Chris Keiger, Allan Kleinfeld, Erin O'Reilly, Kristin Reidy, Shawni Vaughn, and Mer- edith West did a terrific iob of organizing the Egg Toss, the Pie Throwing booth, and the Jelly Bean Count at the Hallow- een Carnival. Pam Bachmann seemed confident that the representatives knew what they were doing. Class sponsor, Mr. Shierling, comment- ed that the eighth graders were working hard to keep the student lounge clean so that they could continue to use it. They made sure that each ofthe class members picked up their trash, in addition to tak- ing care of the ,furniture and lockers. All in all, the class of '87 is looking up! 38-8th Grade Smitha Avasthi Pamela Bachmann Julie Baskin Tom Becker Brandi Bland Beth Brandt Betsy Buck Daryl Caid Camille Campbell Lcri Casados Jamie Clark Susan Cole Miguel Colocho

The Eight Grade Prepares Cortney Kellogg Alan Kleinfeld Christine Kyger Diane Lahren Elizabeth Lee Middle East Turmoil Continues Toward the end of summer Beirut was bombed by Israeli planes trying to eradicate hostile PLO guerillas burrowed in there among innocent civilians. The U.S. opposed this action which was reflected in several heated exchanges between President Reagan and Israeli Minister Menachen Begin. When Christian militia raided a Muslim refugee comp, an estimated 'IOOO Palestinians were massacred. Rumor took root that Israeli troops had participated in this horror. Outraged, the Israeli people demanded Begin's resignation and hurled accusations at Defense Minister Sharon. Reagan's plan for peace which would have given the Palestinians automony on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, was quickly reiected by Begin and the Israeli cabinet who felt that a proposed Palestinian state so close to Israel would endanger their own security. This reiection severely damaged a long and close U.S.-Israeli alliance. Despite attempts to create a lasting peace, the turmoil continues, and it is doubtful that this ancient conflict will soon be resolved.
