Unable to shield ourselves in plastic bubbles and hide from the constantly changing world, we, the students of Dupo Community High School, must learn to deal with the problems of the world .. . and ourselves. In order to keep our book on the upswing , the 1980 El Tigre staff chose the theme All That Jazz. But in order to make our book the best possible record of the events of the past school year, the staff and editors felt it was necessary to include what was happening in the world around us. So in the next three pages we would like to give you an overview of the past school year. The most talked about event reared its evil head on Sunday, November 4, 1979. Four hundred and fifty Moslem students and other militants armed with sticks and clubs seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran. Some seventy people — sixty three of them Americans — were taken hostage. The militants demanded the Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, receiving cancer treatments in New York, be returned for trial. The next months were ones that the world and our students will never forget. Oil imports from Iran were cut off and Iranian students were required to report to immigration authorities for possible deportation. Iranian assets in the U.S., estimated at about $5 billion, were frozen and both pro and anti-Iranian protests were frequent throughout the country. Americans here in Dupo joined the rest of the nation in showing support for the hostages by placing yellow ribbons throughout the town. The significance of the yellow ribbon goes back to the Tony Orlando and Dawn song Tie A Yellow Ribbon Around the Old Oak Tree where the loved one of a prisoner showed her support and love by placing one hundred yellow ribbons around a large oak tree. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini Artwork by Janet Johnson World wide support for the U.S. was exemplified on January 29 when the Canadian government helped six American diplomats stage a daring escape from Iran. After hiding the Americans for three months in the Canadian Embassy, embassy officials provided the refugees with phony passports that fooled Iran.
