ENTERTAINMENT The entertainment industry's chief target is teenagers. Probably because we thrive on it. After being couped up in school all day, we look to music, movies, and T.V, for some fun and diversion in our free time. A lot of memories were generated this past year from entertainment. In music, the biggest concert of last summer had to be the lack- son's Victory Tour: Michael himself also remained hot, riding on the success of his smash album Thriller. The Boss , Bruce Springsteen also had an immensely popular tour. Cindy Lauper emerged as the top new female artist. Billy loel and Christie Brinkley tied the knot. Steve Perry of Iourney and Dennis De Young of Styx each opted to go solo at least for the time being. And Prince burst into the spotlight with a hit album and a starring role in the movie, Purple Rain . At the box office, two extremely successful and hilarious com- edies highlighted the year's movies Ghostbusters and Beverly Hills Cop. On the flip side, Steven Spielberg's latest, Gremlins, was not as popular as it was expected to be. The top television shows for the year were The Cosby Show , Dallas , Dynasty , Cheers , and the A-Team . The board game also made a comeback with the popularity of Trivial Pursuit, a game which greatly adds to your knowledge of 'he world. By the way, what is the only marsupial residing in the United States? POLITICS On the political scene, Ronald Reagan's landslide victory over challenger Walter Mondale enabled the president to continue with his second term. While Mondale was unsuccessful in unseat- ing Reagan, his candidacy had historical significance. By choosing Geraldine Ferraro as his running mate, Mondale was the first presidential candidate to select a woman. Major issues of the campaign included the economy. The uncontrolled federal deficit, nuclear arms freeze, and prayer in the classroom. While farmers in America suffered the pains of over production, internationally, massive famine ravaged many coun- tries in Africa, threatening the lives of millions. A chemical leak at the Union Carbine plant in India killed 12,000 people. After years of impasse, arms talks between the United States and Soviet Union gave some hope to the slowing of the arms race. In Wisconsin the drinking age once again became a heated is- sue. Wisconsin schools proudly accepted the number one ranking in the nation for ACT test scores. Locally, the Retlaw hotel underwent a multi-million dollar renovation. Responsibility for school nursing service became a controversy between the city council and the school board. A record number of candidates ran for school board positions as in- terest in school district news received increased attention. GOODRICH Ten, eleven, or twelve years from now, when you are attending your class reunion, what will you reminisce upon about your days at Goodrich? Many events made the memories that you will look back at in years to come. Looking back at last fall, homecoming seems like a good place to start. The theme was Knights in White Satin. Scott Barbeau and Nancy Bestor were crowned king and queen. The senior class surmounted two incidences of van- dalism to win the class float competition. We can be proud of the accomplishments of our athletes during the past year. The volleyball team won the Fox Riv- er Valley Championship. The hockey team also triumphed in the Badgerland Hockey Conference. The wrestlers won the sectional title and sent four wrestlers to the State Tour- nament. The girls golf team placed fourth at the State meet. The golfers were led by Laura Sheibach's third place among individuals. Meg Sesing qualified for her second State meet in cross country. Under the direction of former Goodrich star player, Dick Diener, the boys basketball team season ended with a heartbreaking loss at the regionals. Excellence in performance was not just limited to athlet- ics. Goodrich students enjoyed many other successes. No one is likely to forget the school play The Curious Savage or the musical Of Thee I Sing. Academically, four Good- rich students were named as National Merit Finalists. They were Bob Arthur, Ienny Mick, Sue Leisses, and Ioe Sharkus. This year L.P. Goodrich itself underwent some changes. Additions were built on to the southwest corner of the building. The addition space is utilized by many organiza- tions such as wrestling and orchestra. Probably the biggest news of the year was Mr. Theil's announcement of retirement. Kurt Theil served as princi- pal here for 13 years.
