a I ,. DICIO' ..IuII a...st 0-i't - b . O . C tilt errorism rocked the world in 1985. People could not look at the morning paper or watch the evening news without being informed of another terrorist attack. Not just the United States, but the world felt the pain, suffering and loss that came ' with these attacks. These same feelings were found with the White family of Kokomo, Indiana as they fought case after case trying to return to school. Ryan White, a fourteen year old hemophiliac, contracted A.I.D.S. through a blood treatment and was removed from school. On the other side of the world, Rock Hudson suffered and died from AIDS. Hollywood lost a lot of fine actors and ac- tresses in 1985-86. Orson Wells and Yul Brynner both died on October 10. Disneyis voice of Donald Duck lives on though the original, Clarence Nash, died of leukimia. Two of the most tragic deaths in the US. were not that of an actor or actress but of a young girl trying to promote world peace and a woman taking a chance for educa- tion. Samantha Smith, 14, whose corre- spondence with Soviet leader Yuri Andropov launched her on a tour of the So- viet Union for world peace, was killed in a plane crash. Christi McAuliffe, a Maine school teacher, died with seven crew members aboard the space shuttle Challenger only minutes after take off. Colonel Khadafy, leader of Libya, has given terrorists a place to hide.

Membership was low in many clubs just as it was during 1985-86. You would think that this was the 1982-83 VLC club, but itts not.
