Tracksters win state medals Ten years ago the last American left Vietam but not until this year were they recognized for their ef- forts. The school year came to an end with five out of seven track- sters who attended the state meet, coming home with medals. Many fads became evident during the year such as parachute pants, fluorescent clothing, Hawaiian shirts, and Walkmans. All-star wrestling made a reappearance and videos were fast becoming one of the most powerful forces in the en- tertainment industry. Kids flocked to see Beverly Hills Cop and lis- tened to Prince, Madonna and Cindi Lauper. Amadeus swept the Academy Awards and TV's were tuned to the Bill Cosby Show and Days of our Lives. Once again summer arrived and another school year drew to an end. Steppin' Out to new beginnings and adventures filled the minds of the students.
