Patty Murren scans her schedule to tell Kathy Hohl which mods she is free in the afternoon while Anne Vasa and Julie Otte come to meet them. “Harley-Man Don Vasa shows that boots, black leather, shades, and a Harley- Davidson motorcycle undoubtedly make one cool! Gazing back shows changes Gazing at the past by means of first-hand information, television shows, and yearbooks showed evident changes between the '60’s and the '80's. We compared events gaining national attention, fashions, primary concerns, and activities of people. Events highly publicized in the '60’s included the assasinations of President John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, and Martin Luther King. The Vietnam War was another major issue. Beatlemania” had hit the country and thousand of teens had caught it. While older people were a bit skeptical about their fanaticism, they were more concerned about the rise of “hippees who were into drugs, amplified music, and spiri- tualism. Launchings of Apollo space- craft and the first successful moon walk highlighted the news media. Fashions of the '60’s were simply marvy ! Skirts rose to mini , hair was long and straight, socks were white, and shoes were flat. In the later '60 s psychedelic colors were splashed on to flare- legged hip-huggers and necklaces bearing signs of peace and “love” were in”. The marriage of Prince Charles and Lady Diana, the Falkland Island crisis, and travels of Pope John Paul II appeared in living color on the t.v. in 1982. Part of President Reagan's budget plan in 82 included cutting financial aid funds for students attending college. Hitting the fashion pages of Seventeen magazine were knickers, emblem shirts, nautical look, prairie look, headbands, and, believe-it-or-not, mini-skirts! All the fashions, though, were not very readily accepted by all Neumann students. Gaining momentum was the not-so-new idea of being physically fit. Joggers hit the pavement, hou- sewives tuned in to Richard Sim- mons’ exercise show, and warnings about the danger of too much salt and cholesterol in the diet were given. Directly and indirectly all the changes around the world affected Neumann. Courses, fashions, inter- ests, and behavior showed signs of the world's CHANGING PATTERNS. Opening 5

The Neumann line defense crashes helmets with Mount Michael in a reserve football game while Chuck Vesely punts the ball. Todd Morrissey, Don Vasa, and Marilee Ludvik laugh hysterically over Don's joke but Linda Walla seems like she doesn’t get it. FAR RIGHT: Twirling strands of spaghetti, Pam Konecky seems pleased with her order. Pam and the rest of the Student Council spend an evening at the Spaghetti Works in Omaha. 4 Opening

“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
