“I read the news today, Oh Boy .. A battalion of Welsh guards, choruses of God Save the Queen , and roaring cheers accompanied the royal newlyweds, Prince Charles and Princess Diana. The Royal Wedding was viewed by millions, several times, on international television. After complications last April and September, the space shuttle, “Columbia” made a successful flight in November carrying astronauts Joe Engle and Richard Truly. This advancement in space technology will be helpful in studying air pollution and ocean activity. Tragedy was the fate of the Air Florida Boeing 737 taking off from Washington D.C. Because of the frequency of severe weather and sub-zero temperatures complications occurred most everywhere. The wings of the plane had been de-iced but iced over again before take-off. The plane could not maintain its height and crashed into the Potomac River killing 78. Although he worked with good intentions, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat was assassinated by a Moslem militant. His aim had been to establish solidarity between Egypt and Israel, this aim, supported strongly by Pope John Paul II. Hosni Mubarak succeeded Sadat, The Pope traveled much during the year. While visiting Fatima, Spain on May 13, one year after he was shot, another attempt on the Pope's life was made by Juan Ferandez who attempted to stab him. In December, air controllers with the AFL-CIO union went on strike. President Ronald Reagan fired 11,500 and did not allow them to return to their positions. He did decide to appoint them to new positions. AWACS, the Air Force E-3A, was built essentially as a flying sentry. Controversy arose when Reagan planned to sell AWACS to Saudi Arabia. He saw it as a chance to work constructively towards peace . Reagan eventually gained support from the Senate. Making the news in the L.A. Times was the uprising caused by the showing of X-rated movies in the Wahoo theater. Manager James Yates was confronted by Neumann Superintendent, Fr. John McCabe and parish women expressing their disgust. The theater was closed for several months but reopened in June with new owners. Hitting the headlines was the Falkland Island crisis. Argentina claimed that the islands, presently controlled by Great Britain, were rightfully theirs. Despite Secretary of State, Alexander Haig’s efforts to negotiate with both sides, fighting broke out on April 3 in the islands started by Argentina. 6 News

Changing patterns in student life It takes one to know one! (a high school student, that is) Students knew that when they entered Neumann they became victims of hectic schedules with a lot of demands, deadlines, meetings, games, etc., or a combination thereof. It was very likely that they saw much less of their family than of classmates, coaches, teachers, or oppon- ents! Eighteen years ago that may not have been the case. Girls’ athletics were a thing of the future. Classes like micro-computers and industrial arts were not a part of the curriculum. Attending rock concerts was not as popular among students. The psychedelic Saturdays of the sixties were far-out”. Students made the scene” at soc-hops to do “the Surf to the music of the Beach Boys and the Jerk” to Beatles’ music. Sadie Hawkins dances were really “groovy!” It would have been strange to hear someone say they “took a road trip” to see Loverboy in concert. Headbands would have fit in but not with the new punk hair cuts. Bell-bottoms have been shoved over for baggies and they’re cool , not “groovy”! Lisa Kralik, Marilee Ludvik, and Barb Barry, members of the National Honor Society, serve brownies during Catholic Schools Week, While twisting yards of colored streamers Diane Meduna and Mary Homes hurry to complete the decorations for homecoming. 8 Student Life chtrai «A
