Sff igft Expectations School life--it is made up of all the people we have met and the events that have taken place during our years here at DHS. But it is not just the events and people within this school’s walls that make up our school lives. Everything that we have seen and heard that has changed our perspective in some way has become a part of our school lives. Last summer, Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North went before a joint session of Congress to testify that he had done nothing involving the Iran-Contra scandal that he had not been ordered to do by his superiors. Whether he was telling the truth or not became a matter of great public debate. T-shirts with the logo ”011ie for President” became very popular during this time. Later in the fall, the Detroit Tigers won the American League East Division Title, proving to fans and opponents alike that they were not willing to settle for second best. During the winter, President Reagan and General Secretary Mikhail Gorba- chev of the Soviet Union signed a treaty banning long-range missiles. Although long-range missiles are only four percent of the world’s total store, the public and the leaders both felt that it was an important step towards peace. On New Year’s Day, the Michigan State Spartans won the Rose Bowl at Pasadena for the first time in 32 years to the delight of Spartans fans and to the chagrin of supporters of the Michigan Wolverines. On the lighter side, Dana Carvey, otherwise known as the Church Lady from Saturday Night Live, made a big impression on teenagers and adults across the country with this line, ’’Could it be...SATAN?” Each of these events has had a great impact on our lives and the way that we as both Americans and teenagers live our lives. When people get into the newspapers and onto the six o’clock news, it is bound to have an effect on us. Anything that changes the world in some way is going to change us as well.
