ATGT splits and the market for long distance calls expands as the tele-communications field is forced to branch out. Girls Scout Cookies are forced off the market as pins and needles are found in many boxes in St. Louis. Jesse Jocksonjoins other Democratic hope- fuls Gary Hart and Walter Mondale as the first black man to run for President of the United States, Break-dancing leaves the streets of Harlem and takes center stage in music videos, dance halls and symphony concerts as the new pre- mier dance craze. Cabbage Patch Dolls become the most sought-after toy in decades as millions of par- ents frantically search for the doll for Christmas. John DeLorean goes to trial after being charged with conspiring a multi-million cocaine deal to save his faltering car company. Terms of Endeorment wins 5 Oscars, includ- ing Best Movie and Best Director, Athletic All Stars School morale was at an all-time high as the football and volleyball squads kicked off the fall season with impressive victories. Their enthusi- asm and hard work affected everyone, and school morale soared to an all-time high. The Athletic department of Fox High has managed to produce some very hard working and successful athletes this year, Following is a list of all players who were chosen as 1st team All-Conference players in Football and Basket- ball for 1984. Offensive guard-Kirk Westmoreland end-John Palmer back-Jim Sweeney Defensive tackle-Kevin White line backer-Kevin Jacobs back-Jim Gangloff Basketball Forward-Paul Keating Guard-Dave Deveydt The girls track team also produced winners, Girls Track Honor Boll-Post Dispatch 2 mi. 6 Mile 800 Sue Arnold Laura Byrne Laura Byrne High Jump Tracy Bierman Kelly Cox Kathy Emling Kim Leonard Angie Keating The following athletes placed at State finals: Brian Baddle- 1st in Track 2nd in Cross Country Jim Sweeney- Qnd in Wrestling Mickey Wright- Grd in Wrestling Stacy Weiland- oth in Wrestling Kelly Cox- 5th in Track To these people and many others not men- tioned we attribute the overwhelming success of all the athletic teams during '83-84, 5 X-I Music Mania just as the Beatles changed the course of rock-n-roll in the 'oO's, MTV and music videos have changed the face of rock in the '8O's. While some critics charge that there is too much violence, too tight a playlist, and too many unimaginative videos on music televi- sion, cirtis cannot argue with the channels popularity. Some of the best videos this year include Michael Jackson's Beat lt and Billie Jean , Herbie Hancock's Rockit , and the Roll- ing Stones' Undercover of the Night, The following albums were also on many best-seller lists for 19841 1. Thirller by Cwho else? Michael Jackson. 2. Synchronicity by Police. 3. Eliminator by ZZ Top. 4. An innocent Man by Billy Joel. 5. Speaking in Tongues by Talking Heads. .30 millon and rising, that is the latest figure for the selling success of Michael Jackson's al- bum Thrillet. Michael Jacksons explosive suc- cess in 1984 rivals the success of the Beatles in the 'oO's with the impact he has had on to- day's music scene. The figures are unbeliev- able: Thriller won eight Grammy awards, Epic Records reports sales of over a million copies of the album per week, and there are nine songs on the album that have been released as top ten singles. Jackson's reasons for his success stem from a magnetic appeal and flashy dance steps combined with a smoldering vun- erability. The superstar is now seen every- where - on posters, T-shirts, buttons, dolls, and his trademark - one gloved hand - has become as popular as a Beatle haircut or Elvis- inspired sash. Concert Choir travelled to Tan-Tar-a Lodge and Resort in January when asked to perform at the MMEA CMissouri Music Educators Assoc? Convention. Students traveled to Tan-Tar-A by bus and stayed at the resort for two days. We enjoyed swimming, being with friends and most of all singing for the huge audience, said Concert Chori President Terry Lester. The choir sang eight pieces for the select audience of musicians and educators related to the music field. We are proud of a job well done and the audience rewarded our performance with an enthusiastic applause, said director Mr Johnson. Congratulations 1984 Concert Choir! Paper Clips 125
