For six years, our President has demon- strated honesty and had earned the trust of most Americans, but because of one mistake in his terrorist policy , the Americans have begun to wonder en President Reagan appointed Lt. Col. Oli- ver North as assistant to Adm. Poindexter who was in charge of finding a way to bring the hostages in Iran home. The power and money that Col. North had in his hands was enough to drive him to sell American arms to our supposed enemy in Iran. This is where the scandal began. From there the money gained in arms dealing was then stored in a Swiss bank account for later use in helping out the Contras in Nicaraugua. The truth was not brought out for quite some time, but when it did come out, the persons involved said nothing about it and tried to deny it ever happended. The recent Congressional hearings are bearing out that perhaps President Reagan was more involved than was first indicated. His acceptance of full responsibility ini- tially, now appears to be more than he first indicated. by: Jim Engell YEAR IN REVIEW 5

THE ENTOMBMENT Bakkers’ Mistake In 1980, Jim Bakker of the PTL Club had an affair with his secretary. She then allegedly blackmailed him for $250,000. Evangelist Jimmy Swaggart became aware of the scandal and attempted to bring it to the attention of the Assemblies of God denomination, but somehow it was leaked to the press. Since then Swag- gart has blasted Bakker and there has been mudslinging ever since. Bakker has re- signed, transferring his ministry over to fundamentalist minister, Jerrry Falwell.

For the First time in their careers, Paul Newman and Michael Caine won for Best Actor and Supporting Actor. The clinch is, neither one of them showed up because they thought they would not win. overwhelming welcome. There has been a lotof controversy sur- rounding Bakker due to misappropiation of funds, poor management skills, sexual immorality, and violation of ministerial creed. Reactions have run from total for- giveness to total banishment. The media has taken great delight in exposing the hypocrisy in today’s Chris- tianity, but the Christian faith remains true because of its anchor and hope, Jesus Christ. by Andy Phillips Dianne Wiest won for her supporting role in Hannah and Her Sisters directed by Woody Allen.

FACULTY THE TIME INVESTORS. We are thankful for the group of men and women that have been brought by the Lord to guide and instruct us in the development of Christian maturity. They invest tremendous amounts of time and energy to provide the envi- ronment of love, acceptance, and edu- cation to help us become all that we are meant to be. They range in exper- ience from rookie to 20+ year veter- ans. They have wisdom and creativity. Some are a riot, others very mellow. Some are predictable, and others keep us constantly guessing. Some are our most treasured friends, and others are regarded as second moms . We need them, and we have found, that they also need us. We are glad to make them feel fulfilled, and we are thankful that they meet our needs as well. by Cora Afman Mrs. Lee Third Fourth grade Mrs. Fleck Kindergarten Mrs. Medema Mrs. Kanehen ' Second grade Second grade a Some are our most treasured friends, and others are regarded as our second moms”. 99 Mrs. Everson Fourth Fifth grade Mr. Engstrom J.H.
