RCYALS WI IT LL by Chris Schiller he Royals made it! They were the Tchampions of the American league west. The playoff games were quite a challenge for the home team. The first two games were in Toronto, Canada. These two games were rough times for the Royals. Leibrandt had had a bad night at the mound. The Royals lost the first game to the Blue Jays in Exhibition Stadium. The next night seemed very much the same. With no luck for the Royals the playoffs were two to nothing, Blue Jays. Back in Kansas City, some hope still lingered in the fans, especially after the Royals came back to win their first home game. But the Blue Jays bounced back quickly with another win, putting them in a three to one lead over K.C. Still, the Royals came back again to save the series with a two to nothing final score. Back to Toronto once again, the Royals won it again, prolonging the playoffs to a seventh game to determine the 1985 American league champions. In the seventh game it was an amazing comeback for the Royals as they won the final game six to two. Meanwhile, the Red birds won the national league pennant over the famous Los Angeles Dodgers. It was an I-70 World Series. Back at home, a lot of preparation was needed before the four game series on home turf. The other three games would be at St. Louis's famous Busch Stadium. Special sections were needed for press and photographers. Hanging tables were made behind home plate and thousands of dollars worth of computer equipment and cables were needed. Over one hundred extra security personnel were added for the playoffs and fifty more were added for the World Series. Despite the extra security, several unfor- tunate incidents did occur. In one such incident, in the parking lot, a man jumped out of his car with a long steel pipe and proceeded to attack several of the crowd. A few were injured but the man was dealt with quickly. Also one man pulled a knife and waved it wildly at the fans but no one was injured. On to the World Series. The first two games did not look good for the Royals. Both games were lost to the Cardinals as they quickly gained a two game lead. It seems as if the Royals play well when they're in trouble, said several fans. Royals' manager Dick Howser stated, We seem to play really good with our backs against the wall. The Royals seemed to fulfill this statement by winning the first game in St. Louis, but just the same the Cardinals came back to win the fourth game, giving them a three to one lead. Once again, with their backs against the wall, the Royals came back to prevail, making it three games to two in the series. Back in K.C. the Royals had a heroes welcome as the crowds packed into Royals Stadium. At first it didn't look good for the Royals and several people had posters portray- ing the fat lady in the opera. Near the end of the sixth game, when the Royals looked like they were going to lose it, everyone was astonished by the amazing comeback by the Royals in the ninth inning. This made the series tied for the seventh game. The final game was an amazing blow-out that lasted too long for some of the Cardinal players to withstand. The final score was eleven to nothing, ROYALS!! They became the new World Champions. 1 P Royalsfr3

I've been more than seventy-five times and I still love every frame of it, said Michelle Thomas, senior. A night, l think everyone will remember for a very long time. Anther movie that had everyone on the edge of their seats was Freddy's Revenge, Part Z of Nightmare on Elm Street. Why didn't he just die and leave us alone? replied Tisha See, soph- omore. Also on the list of popular movies was Rocky IV, Fright Night, Back to the Future, St. Elmo's Fire, The Color Purple, White Nights, and Pretty in Pink. Arcadia, better known as Duran Duran, with their first new album, So Red the Rose, showed their fans that they were still making it big after john Taylor and Andy Taylor started work- ing with the Power Station. Corey Hart, an excellent new musi- cian, made his way to the top of the charts with Boy in the Box, and Nev- er Surrender. A new face that stayed in our heart and minds, wearing his Sun- glasses at Night, and displaying his james Dean look. New views in clothing included broaches, stirrup pants, rubber brace- lets, flowered prints, oversized sweaters with leggings and ankle boots. jean jack- ets made a big comeback and Levi's 5Ol's were still widely seen. New wave was growing ever more popular in music and clothing styles. New popular hits were Vive Le Rock, by Adam Ant, Sidewalk Talk, by jel- lybean, Never, by Heart, Rock Me Amecleas, by Falco, Kiss by Prince, Love Bizzare, by Sheila E., and Dig- ital Display, by Ready for the World. ln the rock-n-roll scene, nothing too new, same bands and a few popular tunes like Why can't this be love, by Van Halen, and Smoking in the Boys Room, by Motley Crue. Towards the end of winter, bad news for Bad Boys hit the music world when George Micheal and An- drew Ridgely announced that they were going their separate ways. If you heard that George won't be going solo, it's probably just a Careless Whisper. ,a-Z W Iili' Movies, music and clothesfj 5
