Winter - Pg. 65 Juniors — Pg. 117 “If a man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured, or far away. — Henry David Thoreau This year’s Spectator staff chose the theme “Dare To Be Different” to celebrate the mavericks, the individualists who follow Thoreau’s advice from a century ago trans- lated into modern lingo as “Be yourself.” More and more people are deciding to create their own styles even if it means being “dif- ferent.” So, as you turn through the pages of this ’86 Spectator; take a closer look at the many ways CM students “Dare to be differ- ent.

“CELEBS” MAKE NEWS The school year 1985-86 saw a lot of extraor- dinary people from every facet of life. From the world of TV, two of the most popular names were Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas, stars of the popular television series Midmi Vice. The stars influenced new styles in men's hair and clothing and became the stars of posters, magazines, and Pepsi commercials. Another popular name in TV this year has been that of Bill Cosby. The Cosby Show rated first in the Neilsen Ratings, bringing Americans back to the nice clean family comedy. Cosby could also have been seen doing commercials for Jell-0 pudding or Coca-Cola. In sports, one of the most popular names was that of William “Refrigerator Perry. Perry was the 305 lb. offensive fullback for the Chicago Bears, the Super Bowl winners. Perry was seen on many talk shows following this year's Super Bowl and also participated in the music video “Super Bowl Shuffle. In music, Bruce Springsteen led the way in popularity. Springsteen sold over 13 million copies of his album Born In The U.S.A., a medley of songs taking pride in America. Springsteen visited sixty-two cities around the world on his world tour.

The initial meeting between President Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev was expected to be a brief personal encounter held behind closed doors. It continued for two hours, far longer than anyone had expected. A second session later in the day also lasted two hours. The following day, the two men continued to discuss U.S.-Soviet differences. When the summit concluded the next day with a joint appearance, both leaders acknowledged that the meetings had been important and suc- cessful inasmuch as both sides had spoken frankly and left with a better understanding of each other’s point of view. There was little, if any, progress in resolving such con- troversial issues as human rights, arms con- trol, and a space-based defense system. The two men plan to keep meeting in the future to have these important talks. Reagan also had some very important de- cisions to make about Libyian affairs. His decision to bomb Libya was a topic of discus- sion in many classes at CM.
