M down Crack, a free base form of cocaine, became read- ily available on the streets. University of Maryland basketball star Len Biasl death emphasized a nation- wide campaign against drugs, particularly crack. Magazines featured articles trying to stop chemical dependencies, while television used celebrity spokesmen to tight drug use. MTV sponsored the series RAD a Rock Against Drugs, which featured rock musicians in the hopes of reaching the teenage audience. Other top stories almost always contained some element of foreign relations. For example, the Soviets captured Nicholas Daniloff, an American journalist in the USSR, in order to trade him for Andre Sakarov, a Soviet spy in the US. The plan succeeded. Another foreign country, the Philip- pines, made the headlines quite often. The Filipinos ousted Ferdinand Marcos in their revolution and voted Corazon Aquino the new president. Perhaps the largest foreign relation scandal struck closer to home. The Reagan Administration ac- quired a bit of tarnish as the Contra scandal came to light. The US. secretly sold arms to Iran and alleg- edly funneled the profits to the Contras in Nicar- agua. The questions of who actually knew about the plan remained unanswered. New York City put on a gala celebrating the hundredth birthday of the Statue of Liberty. Three days of musical programs, tall ships, and hoop-la culminated with one of the largest fireworks display ever seen on July 4. New Yorkers celebrated two more times when the NY. Mets pulled out a 4-3 come-from-behind win over the Boston Red Sox and the Giants defeated the Denver Broncos by a score of 39-20 in Super- bowl XXI. All of America cheered as Americals Stars and Stripes triumphed over Kookburra II to bring home the Americas Cup. The war raged on Lynn Bangle, ary Moore, Heather Munroe, and Beth Shiner, members of Ms. Don's Boitnott's 4th pen'od. debate the effects of the Contra scandal, Debates such as this were rarely boring and gave students a chance to discuss their views. 24' - World Events on oton y In times fLIrllI of Change, no one could describe life as monotonous. A new community aware- ness by teenagers spread, pro- voking slow as well as abrupt changes. Channel 7 News sponsored a documentary promoting community aware- ness of teen pressures, orga- nized by reporter Lyn Jack- son. Teens from five different schools came together to talk freely about their anxieties and what options they had. Ms. Jackson narrowed the nine nominees, given to her by Ms. Toni Tillman, to four a Nikki Anderson, Tina Laudato, Andy Shreeman, and Steve Ewers. In February they taped a three hour rap session that aired during March. ltTalking to others helped us to understand how we and adults can cope with our pressures. No matter how bad things get there is always a choice? stated Tina Laudato. Changes continued outside the school. Economic unrest swept through Roanoke affecting the teenage work force. Many businesses such as Ferros, Mick or Mack, and The Yogurt Factory closed, leaving students with mixed feelings. lll was glad Mick or Mack closed because it meant I had time to wrestle, commented Doug Grabowski. Neverthe- less, unemployment did cramp some lifestyles. Teenagers, long stereotyped as self-centered, showed a giv- ing attitude that helped to dis- pel this notion; The SCA sponsored a food drive in De- cember that received an en- thusiastic response. Several homerooms vied with each other to see who could bring in more cans of food. Mrs. Brenda Turnerls homeroom won with 468 cans followed by Mrs. Sandra Fergusonls with 396 cans. The thought of bringing happiness to others, not winning the first place breakfast, motivated the stu- dents. Twenty students, enrolled in Latin, met Mrs. Jewell Field and Mrs. Polly McFarlane at Liberty House and sang the traditional carols in Latin and English. To the elderly people who heard them, it did not mat- ter if they were in tune rather that they had cared enough to come. Visiting and sewing dinner to the elderly at Friendship Manor showed the Key Clubls Christmas spirit. Another group, FBLA, demonstrated their concern by spending time with the Ronald McDon- ald House guests. By appearing in Elmwood Park in late September, stu- dents supported the rally against racism in response to Ku Klux Klan activities in Virginia. Rock Against Rac- ism, organized by Billy Foster, consisted of bands like Inspec- tor 12 and Fast Passion play- ing all day. The rally gave students the opportunity to listen to their favorite bands and express their opposition to racist activities. By getting involved and giv- ing of themselves, students made their presence felt and even provoked change. Tracey Krupski A Catholic school?

Each school year is distinctly marked by the current fashion trends, which are clearly re- flected in the students man- net of dress. Paisley, Swatch watches, and stirrup pants e last years fads - were replaced by new trends in accessories, fabrics, and basic moods of dressing. Students wore shoes, belts, earrings, purses, and hair accessories to achieve a complete, pulled-together look. HTheylre solar purses, said Chris Dillon, referring to the new metallic gold and silver purses. Of course, with the new purses, there were metallic belts, shoes and even bracelets to match. Hair received more attention as girls flaunted large bows and ornate hair combs. Overall, banana shaped clips were the newest craze in hair styling as they pulled the hair into a Mowhawk-like strip running down the back of the head. Several fabrics which had 26 a Fashion i-ho 5i ver Metallics and the rustic look prevailed as the latest fashion trends. always been popular emerged in new forms. Faded denim, usually seen in blue jeans, was used in everything from shirts to skirts. These shirts, worn by girls and guys alike, were often oversized, mimicking a mans work shirt, The girls version of this shirt usually bore beaded flower designs or rhinestones. In addition, many girls wore long skirts of denim, both straight and full. Cotton became the new rage in sweaters, replacing the more common wool of previous years. The LlMlTEDls cotton shaker knit sweaters with button close collars were espe- cially popular and came in every imaginable color. For the first time, people combined clothes so that each outfit conveyed a certain mood or feeling. For example, students paired Western- styled boots, complete with fringe, metal studs, or rhinee stones with fringed leather jackets reminiscent of the jacket worn by Tonto, the Lone Rangerls Indian side- kick. 80105, a type of Western tie, were added to complete this look. The LlMlTEDls llOutback RedH collection also inspired a mood which was characterized by soft, subdued colors such as peach, gray, khaki, and army green. This rugged look was often completed by hiking or desert boots. Jennifer Allen M etallica Nikki Anderson's metallic belt and shoes accent her green knit dress.
