National Scene Sponsored by the Fort Wayne Women ' s Bureau, editor of Ms., Gloria Steinem, speaks in support of E.R.A. Year In Review For years to come, 1981-82 will be remembered as a year of surprises and momentous his- torical events. We were shocked at the stinging news of the death of Egyptian Presidt.it Anwar Sa- dat who was killed by a gang of muslim fanatics while reviewing a military pa- rade. A shadow of fear fell over the city of Atlanta when, in a rash of murders, over 20 black children were assaulted and killed. A feeling of relief came as a suspect was arrested and tried. After U.S. Navy planes shot down two Libyan fighters, Libya ' s President Muammar Khaddafi was accused of sending a hit team to stalk and kill President Reagan among other political leaders in the U.S. We watched Sandra Day O ' Connor became the first woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court. We rejoiced when General James Dozier was rescued after being held captive by the Red Brigade. Our nation ' s air traffic controllers went out on strike and gambled that we couldn ' t do without them. They lost when President Reagan ordered them fired if they didn ' t return to work. Preparing for the third take-off, the space shuttle Columbia awaits the final countdown. 8 national scene

Cadet Digest Cube: Six-Sided Headache During class, if at any time you had turned and noticed a class- mate paying more attention to a multi-colored cube than to the teacher, you probably ignored it. This scene was common in 1981 and 82. A great amount of time and concen- tration was given to that small cube, known as Rubik ' s Cube. The object of the puzzle was to get all six colored sides back in their original position after the cube had been jumbled. Experts claimed there were seven bil- lion combinations but only one which would solve the problem. After many hours of trying, some would give in and buy one of the numerous publications that demonstrated the solution to the cube. But if you couldn ' t figure out the solution from the book, there was a gadget that could be purchased if you grew too frantic: the cube smasher. The cube even became an event at a pep assembly when a contest produced a winner — Rob Amstutz solved the puzzle in one minute and 15 seconds to take the CLHS championship. One of the many students who own a pair of cowboy boots shows that they ' re not only stylish but comfortable as well. ' .. Boots Hit Halls From cowboy boots to knickers to de- signer jeans, Cadets followed the trends set by the fashion industry. Individual tastes also played a role in how the Cadets dressed. The polo shirt was popu- lar with guys and gals alike, especially the brand with the alligator insignia located on the upper left side of the garment. I thought they were very comfortable and I liked the style, commented junior Mark Vandre. Designer jeans were also a favorite with both guys and gals. Among the more popu- lar brands were Calvin Klein, Jordache, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Sasson. For girls, knickers also became a part of the in look for the ' 81-82 school year. Although cowboy boots used to only be at home on the range, it looked like they found a new home on feet walking the halls of CLHS. Among the many who found this fashion right for them, senior Heidi Linne- mcicr shows off her knickers and high socks, an outfit which is popular this year. 10 upclosc on fads
