I Gotta Be Me! •alia Licea leads her friends Jud enegaz, ' erez onto their latest ad ' enture. Lisa Cortez, Melissa Aguirrc and Ceannettc S ' eemed to be the ChatTey motto. With all the new fashions, music, and hairstyles, this year was more original than any before it. Instead o ' i follow- ing the crowd, we broke away from that pre-packaged look and went our own ways and did our own things. The in look was dressing to your music. The campus was speckled with new-romantics, rockers, reggaes, punkers, mods, and rock-a-billies. Of course, Chaffey was not without its common folk, those students who chose to dress conservatively. Although we were individuals, Chaffey will never be a school of loners. We congregated at lunch, games, and in classes. Lunch time is more than eating; said junior Jackie Bishop, it gives me a chance to be with my friends. As unique as we were, we did not remain without influence. We took the pieces of style which we liked to form our own style. It seemed that, more than anything, we wanted to be com- fortable with ourselves. a , n-i x 1 i t«F. t;!

Newsbreak N: ational and world events touch us all. Chaffey was no exception this year or any other. However, the events of 1984 had an especially great im- pact on us. We were all shocked, upset and enraged when Russian fighters shot down Korean Airlines flight 007, killing 269 in- nocent passengers. They had been tailing the 747 for two hours before destroying it over Sakhilan Island in Soviet ter- ritory. The assault sent Americans into protest. Many plans of action were suggested, from boycotting wheat exporta- tion to refusing to allow Soviets to compete in the Olympics . . . Speaking of the Olympics, they ' re coming this summer! En- thusiasm was high and so were our hopes of winning tTte gola Plans were in effect to prepare the Los Angeles Memorial Col- iseum for the big event. Already the production of Olympics mer- chandise is big business . . . Quite a bit of controversy arose from the bombing of Marine head- quarters in Lebanon. The explo- sion killed 234 American ser- vicemen. This attack began to make us all wary of the possibilities of war . . . The im- plication of war was also left when two-thousand troops of the American Army invaded Grenada. The invasion followed the assasination of the Grenadan prime-minister and a take over by the communist party. We were joined by three-hundred troops from other countries, in- cluding Jamaica and Barbados e TiTteSTtieTalirTrTTi? Kennedy Space Center when they sent up the first American black and woman astronauts. Guion S. Bluford and Sally Ride were proud contributors to our advancing space program . . . Another first was the crowning of Vanessa Williams. She was the first black Miss America in the history of the competition. Although these events affected us greatly, there will be many more which will be significant in our lives. Perhaps future events will prove so extreme as to make us forget those of this year. Cer- tainly as the years dwindle away they will seem much more minute, as they are reduced to memories. Korean citizens demand ihat action be taken against Soviet ' s for their attack on Our new Miss America, Vanessa Williams, takes KAL flight 007. time to sign an autograph. 14
