FORD AND REAGAN BATTLE FOR VOTES One of the most outstanding world events was the kidnapping of Patricia Hearst. Hearst, a news¬ paper heiress, was allegedly ab¬ ducted and held captive by the SLA. Patty was finally discovered and convicted of bank robbery. Her defense caused great controversy: was she brainwashed or not? ALF-CIO leader, Jimmy Hoffa, was also kidnapped, but he was never found. Spring was a time for primary elections. Jimmy Carter surprised the nation by leading the Demo¬ cratic primary. Reagan and Ford fought a tough battle for Repub¬ lican delegates. For the first time, a major city went bankrupt. New York City declared its bankruptcy and re¬ ceived federal aid. Pet rocks, mood rings, afros, and CB radios were among the fads to hit. The biggest movie was “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’’. above: HEEEEEEEEY-Displaying their Fonzie t-shirts and thongs, Sarah Mavity and Lori Babbit imitate Fonzie’s famous greeting, left: FINALLY 18 Voting for the first time, John Blomeke examines a sample ballot before entering the real booth.

Population twenty two hundred and twelve,” yelled the conductor as a train filled with salesmen entered the train station. With these salesmen was a man by the name of Professor Harold Hill. Hill was a con artist whose profession was starting boys bands based on the “think system”. The unusual thing about the professor was that he couldn’t play a note himself.

Marian soon learns of HiU’s plot but keeps it to herself. The rest of the town becomes suspicious when Hill starts trouble over a pool table. When the instruments arrived, Marian secretly teaches the boys to play and this saves Professor Hill’s Mfe. 24 Ad School Play
