Happ days are here again? I98l started on an optimistic note but as it progressed many circum- stances caused it to turn into a nightmare. All of the following events except for the royal wed- ding are listed as the students at GHS felt they were important to them and their consequences re- garding the world at large. Locally, the shortage of water and the related drought caused a certain amount of worry that Gar- nett's water supply would run out before rain was received. Restric- tions were placed on water usage before spring. The first kidnapping in over I7 years happened early in the year. Bea Gilner of Greeley was abducted by a demented man and, after a lengthy high-speed police chase, was released near Kansas City. On a brighter note, three girls were the first set of triplets born in I6 years. The proud parents are Mr. and Mrs. Ron Hiles. Regional news wasn't much bet- ter. ln July a group of about l,500 revelers gathered at the pride of the Hyatt Hotels chain in Kansas City for an evening of the big band sounds. The tea dance had just started when two skywalks tore loose and hurtled down on the mer- rymakers. Rescue workers found lll dead and around 200 injured. It was the worst disaster in Kansas City history. The economy had a major impact on this region. A combination of run-away inflation and 20 percent- plus interest rates caused the entire national economy to sag. An area problem that may have contributed to the setback was the long-lived drought followed by torrential rain fall and flooding that plagued most of Kansas and Missouri. The national picture was topped off by assassinations and attempted assassinations. Such international figures as President Reagan, Pope John Paul ll, and press secretary James Brady were all the target of an assailant. There was one suc- cessful attempt made. President Anwar Sadat was gunned down in YEAR IN REVIEW October just before delivering a speech. Closer to home in Atlanta, GA., 28 young blacks were brutally murderd. The accused killer of at least ten of the victims is Wayne B. Williams. Something relatively new in the news was the Moral Majority. Led by Reverend Jerry Falwell, it had Hollywood scrambling to keep its ti- tle of Entertainment Capital of the World rather than the decidedly less attractive one of Sin City. On a lighter note, the 52 hostages being held in lran were released after 444 days of captivity. The baseball sea- son came to a shuddering halt. The issue of the free agent draft caused a walk out on the part of most of the players and pre-empted the long- awaited season. The conflict wasn't resolved until late in the season. ln Washington D.C., Sandra Day O'Connor was installed as the new Supreme Court Justice, the first woman to hold such an office. Meanwhile in Europe, there were many new and unfamiliar undercur- rents in both political and private affairs. In lreland, the religious civil war between Catholics and Protes- tants battled on. lrish prisoners of war being held by Great Britain em- barked on one of the most contro- versial issues in the history of the lrish-Anglo war. Many of the prison- ers went on hunger strikes and sev- eral died as a result of this travesty. On mainland Europe, Poland was en- gaged in revolt of the newly formed and believed to be Soviet-backed military dictatorship. Much of the Solidarity Union has been revolting while pacifist wings of the organiza- tion have been trying to settle the matter in a peaceful way. Also in the past year the world lost many great and famous person- alities such as Gen. Omar Bradley, last five star general, Natalie Wood. popular actress, Joe Lewis, heavy weight boxing champion, Harry Chapin, reknowned composer and singer, William Holden, actor, and many, many others. The the world still had time to turn on their radios and televisions to watch or listen to The Wedding of the Century. Lady Diana Spen- cer became betrothed to Prince Charles of Wales, Heir to the British throne. They recited their vows in mid-July while an estimated 750 million people looked, watched, or listened. The Royal couple is now expecting an addition to the family sometime this spring. l98l was an original year, and most people hope that i982 will be infinitely better.

We're one for all and all for one Producing a yearbook is a very tedious job which takes patience that we didn't always have. The pressures we were all under put a strain on friendships, but they sur- vived. Now that the fourth and final deadline has been finished it is time to thank the many people who made this yearbook possible. l want to thank Mrs. Studna, our advisor. During deadline weeks she was at school by 7 a.m. and stayed after school so we could work on our pages. Many nights she never left school before 8 p.m. A big thanks to our photogra- phers who got some very inter- esting and hilarious pictures and provided us all with a lot of laughs, especially Tammy Welsh who drove to various places, even out of town, to take pictures after school. Thank you to Sam Raines and Wright's Studios for taking the time to take group pictures, senior pic- tures and getting them back to us so we could meet our deadlines, and who also graciously did this for free. Thank you to the administration for letting us out of class to sell ads. Thanks to the faculty for honoring requests and being cooperative while being interviewed and com- pleting deadlines so we could accu- rately write about what was going on in each class and complete things on time. Thanks to the stu- dents, who were so cooperative, even more puzzled as to why we were taking their pictures, because many times we couldn't explain or we would have had to give away our theme. Also a big thanks to the mer- chants who bought an ad in the yearbook. This is a very large means of income for the yearbook. With- out their support there would be no yearbook. l'd like to thank .losten's Ameri- can Yearbook Co., that published our yearbook. Also thank you for allowing the staff to tour the plant. Many thanks to Don Mathers, our representative with the plant, for advising us and coming down when- ever we needed him. Special thanks goes to Dena l62 - THANK YOU McDaniel and Juanita Morgan. Dena carried an extra load on the staff. She did almost everyone's artwork, plus she turned in as many pages as the rest of us. Juanita drew the cov- er, on which she did an excellent 'ob. I Also, thanks to Debbie Shultz, our in-plant representative, for answer- ing our many questions and getting supplies to us when we needed them. The final group of people l want to thank is the staff, They worked very hard after school and on week- ends and at sometime or other they all had things they would rather be doing. Thanks to Connie Lankard, who spent many hours selling ads for the ad section and used her own gas to drive to sell the ads. Thanks to David Sobba, even though he wasn't on the staff, he helped with typing and taking pictures. l con- gratulate the staff on a job well done. l98l-82 Bulldog Editor, wedge Published by the yearbook st of Garnett High School, Jost American Yearbook Company Topeka, Kansas printed the 5 volume of the Bulldog.
