gf! Rose Parade Crowns Peer A variety of events took place in Arcadia. The city hosted the annual West Arcadia Band Review, which offered South- ern California music groups a chance to display their talent. Arcadia also featured prominently in the Tournament of Roses Parade. Arcadia's float was honored with the Pioneers Trophy, and the city returned the favor when Carol Newell graced the Rose Court. Arcadia attracted attention of a different sort, when the parents of a Hare KI'iShI'la devotee Madonna Slavin attempted to have her deprogrammed. Deprogramming was a technique which attempted to break a person's devotion to a cult or religion. Deprogramming was nothing new -there were several professional deprogrammers in the country - but Madonna's reaction was that she was the first person to press criminal charges against her family and deprogram- mers that they had hired. Her case promised to be a legal landmark. will M 'rf ,eq V Mr! Community Happenings X 31

Students See The World One hundred and nineteen Arcadians sampled the life of the JETSET this past summer before school started. The one hundred and nineteen students, accompanied by Arca- dlan teachers and administrators spent many long hours rid- ing in planes and touring buses all over the United States and Europe. Fifty four students participated in the European tour, while sixty five went on the Bicentennial tour. The interna- tional tourists went to six foreign countries and visited such cities as Rome, Florence, Paris, and London. The Bicenten- nial tour took the Arcadians to five states, and cities like Washington, D.C., Richmond, Boston, New York, and Phila- delphia. The students could earn college or high school credit for their adventures. All the students had experiences they will treasure for the rest of their lives. 1 ' 2 ,iii 4 32 X Community Happenings
