Tracie Parks reinforced this idea saying, an age of technology, while a frustrated Chris Beck exclaimed, lt 's an age of Van Halen, as he searched for a couple of tickets to the upcoming Van Halen concert. Beyond the pale green and yellow walls of school laid an exciting, yet turbulent world. Lebanon, the sight of much inter- national strife, was the major global story throughout the school year. During the fighting there, 239 United States military men and 58 French soldiers, acting as a peace keeping force, were killed due to kamikaze bombings of U. S. and French military installations. These events brought a public outcry to release U. S. troops from Lebanon. Turn them lose or bring them back home, exclaimed sen- ior, Angela Bush. Over the horizon, more tragedy fell upon the world when a commercial plane, Korean Air Lines' flight 001 was shot down by Russian air to air missles. Very little physical evidence of the bombing was left. l don't know the whole story, but we ought to shoot an ICBM at them lthe Russiansj, stated Sean Robinson. 269 passengers, including 7th district re- presentative, Larry McDonald, were killed in the bombing. Another topic of American government classes and Coach Alan Nicely's shoot the breeze days was the deployment of U. S. missles to Western Europe. This strong action taken by President Ronald Reagan was criticized by both Western and Eastern European countries. The So- viets walked out of arms reduction talks in Geneva, Switzerland, and West Germans protested by forming a sixty-five mile hu- man chain across the roads of their coun- try. Backed bythe Bill of Rights, students voiced their opinions. ln favor of German protesting, Ken Franchini sarcastically stated, Even though it effects their coun- try, the Germans have no right to make decisions about such things as interna- tional security. Mike Powers backed President Reagan and stated, l 'm totally in favor of missles in Germany. About the time of the deployment of the missles, a timely, made for television movie, viewed by millions of people across the globe, dramatized the finality of a nuclear conflict. The show left me feeling helplessg a nuclear confrontation is inevitable, explained Danielle Deubel. Other top stories of the year included an America 's Cup victory for the Austra- lians, who claimed, We keeled them , a brand new Olympic games in Sarajevo Yugoslavia, and the death of the Soviet's Communist party leader, Yuri Andropov.

A useful military intervention to secure democracy i'n the Western Hemisphere, explained Ken Carter on the purpose of the invasion. This military action thwarted Russian attempts to build a military airport on the island and secured the unstable govern- ment of the island. Russian press agency, Tass, described President Reagan's ac- tions as an act of undi'sguised banditry and international terrorism . Junion Brad Nye defended the U. S. from international critisism saying, l feel the U. S. is its own world and its actions are often misinter- preted by her foreign brothers. Domestically, a presidential campaign heated up as signs of the upcoming elec- tion grew more evident. A want ad in a San Francisco newspaper read Seek candidate, 4-8 yr job, Start Jan. 85, Min dual 35, natural born U. S. citizen, 74 yr resident, 8200000 yr, all fringes, Equal Opp Employer. With a rainbow of presi- dential contingents, student predictions and favorite candidate choices were mixed. Hi hope President Reagan wins, he's done a good job, stated Keith Bo- hannon. Sam Sinclair commented, l like Jesse Jackson better than anyone else because he 's the underdog. As candidates beat the campaign trail, a host of other stories caught the public 's eye. The Greyhound strike inconven- ienced travelers and helped the hound's competition. A 700th anniver- sary for the Brooklyn Bridge lit up the sky of New York City in May of '88 and the Space Shuttle program soared to new heights as NASA approached their ulti- mate goal, a permanent, manned space station. Sporting news traveled fast among high school students. The University of Miami was crowned NCAA football's national champions by beating previously unde- feated Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. Pull- ing out an upset over the Redskins, the L.A, Rai'ders romped to a 88-9 victory in Superbowl X Vlll. North Carolina State University was given the title of NCAA basketball champs, while North Caroli- na 's Tar l-leels dominated for the most part of the '83-84 season. The Baltimore Orioles beat the Phi'ladelphia Phillies to win professional baseball 's World Series. A new duck phone symbolizes a giant business story, the turnover of AT 8 T After the switch, Scott Busby commented There isn't much difference besides the T V commercials. Southern Bell had cute commercials.
