Special is hardly the word to decribe 1988. In- stead of ringing in the New year with Auld Ange Syne, we began it with the Olympic theme. But, even with the excitement one had to set aside time for the presidential primary elec- tions. To add an apple to the year, the new A+ school year with its ISTEP tests became reality. American hopes were bright at the opening of the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Calgary, Can- ada. However, hopes tum- bled as our speed skaters fell and the hockey team couldn't quite catch the Russians. We felt proud when our male figure skat- ers brought home the gold. The presidential prima- ries offered a different look from the usual competiti- venes. They were fought with ideas and words. The Democrats had the biggest field, ranging from Illinois' Senator Paul Si- mon with bow-ties, Gary Hart's surprising come- back, and Jesse Jackson's proving one could surpass the color-barrier in politics. Republicans were color- ful too. They pitted Pat Robertson, once a TV evangelist against Senator Robert Dole and Vice- President George Bush and others. The A+ Program, some said, would more appropri- ately have been called the C+ Program. The state legislature demanded 175 i days of school for students in 1987-88. That didnlt bother us as we had 180 scheduled. What did affect ' us was the ISTEP tests. All freshmen and juniors took tests in English and math knowledge. So did most el- ementary students. And if the elementary people An Exciting Year failed they had to attend summer school and or re- peat the same grade level. We were told that if a large number of high school people failed the EVSC might lose money from the state government. Throughout it all, things 0mm Jackson stayed about the same. At school someone was meet- ing someone new and breaking up with some one old. We all grew up a little. No matter how we lived it, it was some how special and so it will always be. Wt!
