On Your Own Ti me I must've done everything there is to do in Bedford and Cleveland over last summer ' stated Tom Cichan, and I never knew there was so much here! I guess 1 never gave my own city a chance. I was really surprised when I found so many other BHS students at things like the Strawberry Festival, the Lions' Club Carnival, the downtown sidewalk sale, and the Fourth of July festivities. It was also kind of neat to see other students at the various concerts held in and around Cleveland during the summer, continued Sharon Yoho. It's interesting to see people you'd never expect at a Gordon Lightfoot concert or an Andy Gibb show really getting into the music.

Religious leaders dominated the news at the start of the 1980's as Pope John Paul II visited the U.S. in the fall and the Ayatollah Khomeini was democratically elected sole leader of Iran. Starting a new decade meant start- ing new trends in world events. The Pope's visit was a first. Though he reaffirmed his position on abortion, priests' celibacy vows, and other mat- ters of the church, his mission was one of love and peace, in God's name, for all people of earth. Then another religious leader, the Ayatollah, began killing in God's name. Anyone who had been a friend or aide to the deposed Shah was called a traitor and executed. Next he broke the unwritten policy of diplomatic im- munity when he supported the stu- dents' overthrow of the American Em- bassy in Tehran on Nov. 3, 1979. While the 50 hostages were still held captive, awaiting the return of the Shah, Americans celebrated Thanks- giving, Christmas, and New Years Day. They saw the arrest of 'Wings' lead singer Paul McCartney on a drug charge in Japan. The government can- celled his tour and he returned to Lon- don.
