The students look back over the year to see all the good and all the bad times. They see happy times and disappointing times. This year has had the same things going on as other years, and yet, it has been different. Capital High showed its class in many ways this year. The students showed how much they care for the needy people by giving 3,700 cans in the can food drive. The school also started new improvements on the school grounds. The amphithea- tre was finished. A new park is in progress. Also, a new readerboard was put up in order for people to keep up with current school events. On the sports side, there were happy occasions and not so happy occasions. The Capital Football team defeated Fort Vancouver in their Homecoming game and then made it to the semi-finals in State. The Freshmen.Football team was undefeated making the first unde- feated football team in Capitals His- tory. The Varsity Boys' Basketball team was Southwest Washington AAA Conference Champions, and the J. V. and Sophomore Boys Bas- ketball teams were also League Champions. Of course this year will hold spe- cial importance to the senior class of 1981. They will look back and remember both the happy and sad times spent at Capital High. They will remember the friendship of the fac- ulty and their own special friends. They have grown and matured and they will, from time to time, think back on the days spent at Capital and will smile at something that took place. Yes, this year has been basically the same as any other year, and yet, it was different. lt was a year that will always be in the memories of the studentbody, just because it was the year 1980-81l

They were seized on November 14, 1979, by young Moslem militants who stormed the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. They wanted the former Shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was undergoing medical treatment in the U.S., in return for the hostages. The Shah found refuge in Egypt and died in Cairo on July 27, 1980, but the hostages were still not released. During their several days in captiv- ity many suffered from abuse by the Iranians. - President Ronald Reagan was shot in the chest March 30. The bullet collapsed his left lung. The White House Press Secretary, James Brady suffered a bullet would in the head which caused extensive brain damage. Secret Service Agent Timothy J. McCarthy took a bullet in the stomach while shielding the president. Thomas K. Delehanty was shot in the neck. No one was killed. John W. Hink- ley, Jr. was apprehended at the scene of the shooting. Although the turmoil in lran was major news around the world, in our school the topic was not one we enjoyed hearing about. The news we liked to hear, was about the things we as students participated in. We were thrilled about all of the exciting sporting events that we won and upset at all defeats. We might soon forget all the latest world news and political controversies going on. But we would not forget the classes, teach- ers, people or activities that made up the year. Football games, basketball games, dances, spirit week, Capital High School plays, and many other activities that we par- ticipated in are the things likely to be topics of conversation ten years from now. What we did was usuagy more important to us than any news Walter ronkite or Dan Rather reported because we were the ones who made up the headlines, . . This has been a SPECIAL REPORT. We now return to the regularly scheduled broadcast, already in progress.
