A whitewashed chimney is the last remaining evidence of the woods along Atlanta Fid. ln the background sits the beginnings of Paces Vinings Apartments. A shopping center replaces the chimney. ci-iAiveiive suaunam Life in Smyrna is laid-back, boring, and insignificant compared to the rest of the world, contemplated Robert Spen- cer on life in the small sprawling town of Sm yrnag however other students painted a different picture of the school's home town. A Drastic changes took place in Sm yrna. Condominiums, shopping centers, and office buildings were going up at a diZzy- ing rate. Vinings Mountain was literally leveled to make way for more office parks, and the woods surrounding Star- vin' Marvin were cut down in order to build Paces Vinings Apartments. lt should be called destruction not con- struction. lt's taking away from the natu- ral beauty of Smyrna and replacing it with needless, ugly office buildings and hous- ing, commented Amy Ruth. Chaos was the word Jay Worley used to describe the construction zone that once was a four-lane highway known as the downtown connector. Due to MARTA construction and highway re- routing, Atlanta 's main artery was a mess. ln addition to physical reconstruction, political rebuilding was taking place. After the death of Larry McDonald in the plane bombing, the 7th district seat in the Unit- ed States House of Representatives was left vacant.

Students and teachers alike tuned into school closing announcements with avid curiosity. De- cember provided the area with the cold- est Christmas on record, a chilling O 0 F Still, however, Christine DiVicino, a native of Chicago, exclaimed, lt's too hot down here. Although the weather was sometimes cold, the Atlanta sports scene was heat- ed. The Falcons had a disappointing 7-9 season while the Braves fell behind L.A.. The Hawks enjoyed a winning season Tech basketball fans were given some- thing to cheer about, and the Dawgs won the Cotton Bowl by a 70 to 9 score. A smaller unit than the world or nation, Smyrna was pulsing with news just as it was twined into the city of Atlanta via its many arteries. VVe've Got Something To Say 247
