National Crises affect Americans This is Uncle Sam, and the draft has been reinstated. Please report for reg- istration, or else . . . Iranian anger boiled over when they learned of the rescue attempt of the American hostages, who have been held in captivity since November 4, 1979. But what about the hostages themselves? Inflation at 18% has caused nation- wide anger, and mostly, worry. These and other related subjects have greatly affected Americans. And there exists a gut feeling that some- thing must be done about it, but what exactly is that something? And where can it be found? Being Americans, we learn to cope. We accept changes, and deal with them accordingly. And while all these problems are not yet solved, they are in the process of being solved. Here is where America earns her greatness. Despite sometimes unbearable prob- lems, she never gives up. BILLYGATE . . . Billy Carter meets with Libian Ahmed Al-Shahati in Atlanta at a friendship re- ception held by Billy Carter. WE WONT DO IT, UNCLE SAM . . . Says this group of protestors in San Francisco, opposing the draft reinstatement. EMHS 6 lnternational

ACTIVITIES Activities help to bolster school spirit ATTENTION EMHS LISTENERS. AN IMPORTANT NEWSCAST HAS JUST BEEN RECEIVED. THIS IS NOT A RECORDING . . . Between the hours of 8:15 a.m. and 3:10 p.m., most Redskins are kept busy by their active academ ic schedule. However, before classes start, and after they end, things really get hectic. Ranging from the Science Club to theatrical productions to the newspaper staff, Manual activities, are, to say the least, very diversified. Extra-curricular activities not only add to the fun of at- tending Manual, but they also can be educational experiences. Many hours are devoted to these activities, and stu- dents have different reasons for giving so much of their time to them. Says Senior Brian Litteral: Structur- ed activities, such as those maintained by the majority of secondary schools, continue the purpose of school in gen- eral, to better prepare the students for real life by exposing them to hier- archy and nurturing the drive for self- improvement. Junior Maryjo Johnson remarked: I like to take an active part in my school activities. It gives me more pride and more memori es. Junior Mark Wyss added: I enjoy taking part in school activities. It gives me a chance to do things which ordi- narily I would not do. It makes me feel that I have accomplished something of which I can be proud.
