I O During the past year the spirit of giving was a definite and apparent force in our country. With everything from heart transplants, to danger- ously ill infants, to the millions of starving in Ethiopia, the spirit of giv- ing was also the spirit of the Ameri- can people. A dry cloud of despair hung over Ethiopia as ten years of drought turned the country into a vast wasteland. By the end of 1984 al- most a million had died from lack of food and the subsequent spread of diseases including cholera and ty- phoid. Critics suspected that by the end of 1985 almost another million could die. Relief funds arose all over the world to help the country's starving population while many criti- cized that the organizations were solving only the immediate prob- lems and undermining the real ques- tion of Ethiopia's future. Laura Rickles commented on the situation when she said, lt's all very tragic. Something needs to be done. ln addition to the sick and starving in Ethiopia, the suffering continued in the United States.

Money raised is used to aid in research for many childhood diseases. 226 Keeping The Spirit Alive of life was an ordeal for Baby Fae, who was only a few days old when her chest was opened for implanta- tion of a baboon's heart. She lived three weeks, even seemed to flour- ish, until life ended abruptly on No- vember 15 at the Loma Linda Medi- cal Center in California. Many ques- tions still remain about the issue and its ultimate effect on the baby's life. When asked this question Jackie Swilley commented, I think the op- eration was worthwhile. lt was the baby's only chance for life. Another medical breakthrough 66Because' we have so much it's our responsibil- ity to help others who are less fortunate.,, - Natalie Keng was that of William Schroeder. As a heart patient, he became the world's second host for an artificial heart. The operation seemed to be a success when he asked for a beer, his social security check, and a Christmas tree, but then he suffered a stroke. Doctors in Louisville, Ken- tucky, suspected the artificial heart caused a blood clot which triggered the stroke. William Schroeder's case was particularly important due to the former case of Barney Clark who lived only thirteen weeks after the implantation of his artificial heart. When asked her opinion of the case junior Sandy Derocher stat- ed, I feel the operation was very beneficial. The research gained from the case will benefit other heart pa- tients in the future. The Spirit of Giving was also pre- sent in the school community. Clubs such as Beta Club and National Hon- or Society participated in several ac- tivities including a holiday canned food drive and a telethon benefitting a local public television station. 5, .V Nw ' iii 1613 if' ii i i s. ii- Ni it f- ll ii iii i i . ,,,.,, , ,,,,.. .,,. . .,,fyf,,,,,,,, f '77, ,VVV My VJ, , V gi

Leaders were people who had a pro- found effect on their followers, and the qualities that made a good leader were important character elements. To Sean Rowe these traits included, strength and an aggressive personal- ity. Kary Kauffmann listed, dependabil- ity and responsibility, as good leader- ship traits. Leaders took all forms and were found in all places from the local level up to the national level. At school, lead- ers came from all areas including aca- demics, sports, and clubs. Students such as Brad Day and Cale Conley led their peers in Student Council. Lead- ers are people who carry a lot of weight on their shoulders, stated Brad Day. 6fLeaders are people who carry a lot of weight on their shoulders. ,, - Brad Day Leaders were also present on the field. Team captains and co-captains served to guide their team mates through games and practices. Team leaders are responsible for setting an example for the other team mem- bers, stated Thad Baird. Leadership was an element that spread outside the school, to the com- munity andthe nation. With the arrival of the local and presidential elections, leadership became an important issue to the people. f fa l 5 iv ii' ffl V SM M , ,Wa ly . 3 352!
