c=± uggling act d School routine requires balancing of activities You sit in science class, un¬ consciously soaking up infor¬ mation like a sponge. You are in a good mood since it is Fri¬ day. Your joy quickly fades into doom of death as Joe At¬ tendance Aide walks into the room with a green pass. You READY. SET, GO Wide awake and ready for action, sophomore David Starr, freshman Mark Stemper, and senior Andrew Paul Vicari enter the building and swing into a new day at school. HERE WE GO AGAIN Anxiously approaching another school day, seniors Stanna Tschetter, Tracey Jillson, and Vicki Head leave the parking lot to enter the building. Many students with automobiles bring carloads of friends to school dai¬ ly. CATCH THE WAVE Awaiting that refreshing feeling, ju¬ nior Sherrie Jean Adank reaches for a Coke on her lunch hour. The pop ma¬ chines, offered by the Student Coun¬ cil, are a number one asset to making it through the school day. begin to squirm in your seat because you sense that your name is written all over that slip signed by Mr. Paul Geor- gas. The aide hands the pass to your teacher. “Mr. Thomas, the teacher calls out menac¬ ingly, “It looks like you have another appointment with Mr. Georgas.” The green pass. A select few never receive this gift. To some, it is just another part of the school routine: The rou¬ tine of preparing for school and pushing yourself through seven hours of learning. Dur¬ ing those hours, students also manage to squeeze in time talking with friends, grabbing refreshments, and getting to class on time. These things add up to the routine of high school. Balancing them helps students to keep up in the swing of things. HEY, WHAT’S UP? Between classes, sophomores Brandi McGrew and Charles Noonan take time out to chat. The five minute passing period was a great opportuni¬ ty for friends to catch up on the latest news. TIMEOUT In a deserted hallway junior Leroy Bowman and senior Marilyn Rex gather books for class.

m am and Joy Newsworthy advances and setbacks stir emotions The hearts of Americans everywhere experienced both sorrow and joy as they turned on their televisions every night to watch the evening news. People felt their hearts pulled in opposite directions as stories both positive and negative were brought into their homes. Investors everywhere were horrified as the stock market plunged over 500 points on Black Monday in late October, far exceeding the famed crash of 1929. Billions of dollars went with the wind as com¬ puters struggled, then failed to keep up with the record vol¬ ume of trade. Restrictions have since been integrated into the system which are de¬ signed to prevent a similar di¬ saster in the future. A slow re¬ covery marred with frequent pitfalls increased confidence in the economy. Nightmarish images of a second Vietnam flashed through the mind of the coun¬ try as tensions in the Persian Gulf sparked increased American involvement. The damaging of an American ship by an Iranian mine was the fi¬ nal straw. President Reagan responded with an assault of several offshore oil platforms; the U.S. Navy flexed its mus¬ cle by sinking three Iranian ships that tried to save the platforms believed to have been used as bases for covert terrorist activity. The whole incident seemed to stun the greatly inferior forces. The gulf returned to normal only a few days after the show of A PREMIER WELCOME During arrival ceremonies, President Reagan talks with Soviet leader Mik¬ hail Gorbachev at the White House. A three-day summit meeting in Decem¬ ber ended with the signing of a nuclear arms control agreement by the two su¬ perpower leaders. force, setting American minds at ease. In December the entire country was moved by the courage and determination of a small Texas town to help res¬ cue Baby Jessica McClure from the depths of an aban¬ doned well. After accidently falling into the well, Baby Jes¬ sica was trapped in the shaft for more than 36 hours before rescuers emerged from the shaft to cries of jubilation. Jessica survived the ordeal to become a living American hero. A small step toward peace between the superpowers was taken when Soviet Premier Gorbachev came to the United States with the purpose of having a summit with Presi¬ dent Reagan. Both nations came very close to agreeing on a treaty to abolish short range nuclear weapons. The summit in January also laid the ground work for a future sum¬ mit in the Soviet Union. Many people found them¬ selves captivated by the Sovi¬ et leader and his wife and many delusions of a cold Com¬ munist leader were forgotten as Premier Gorbachev became a darling of the American me¬ dia. From February through June, the greatest spectacle in the news media was the presi¬ dential primaries. A field of several candidates for each party was narrowed down to a one-man race for the Republi¬ can nomination and a two candidate dog fight for thej Democratic nomination. George Bush quickly pulled past all competition for the Republ icans. Michael Duka- kis found himself neck and neck with Jessie Jackson, who } had found new support since 1 ' his dismal ’84 campaign. The eyes of the nation will be on Atlanta and New Orleans, the sites of the party conventions j which will nominate the next president of the United; States. The year’s good news uplift- ! ed the hearts of the people watching it. The bad news - brought everyone back down to earth, causing everyone to ■ remember that the world is far J from perfect. 24 World News
