Closer to home, Rams saw Colorado's own Gary Hart set off on a campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination which surpassed by far the prediction of the enigmatic uexpertsf, Alan Cranston fwho?!j also vied for the Democratic nomination, as did Walter Mondale and Jesse Jackson. Jackson's hand in the release of a Navy pilot shot down over Lebanon raised some eyebrows, but not the hands of many voters. And really, was anyone surprised when Reagan announced his intentions of running again? This past year also saw America blast her first black and her first woman into outer space via the space shuttle. Plenty of breath was baited, too, when the worldls first-ever untethered space walk was in progress - but it went without a hitch. While preppy Rams bedecked themselves in mourning togs at the loss of the Americas Cup to the Aussies, the rest of the sports world thrilled to the extravagance of the 1984 Winter Olympic Games in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. It was hardly a banner for the Yanks, but the beloved Scotty Hamilton finally got his gold in skating, and Bad Billy Johnson, the braggart, stole his own gold on the slopes. The Mahre twins also captured a silver and a gold on the slopes a but once you're at the top, isn't it always downhill from there? 200 - Current Events Go-Ilege-tuition goingu 1 1 l Clean air battle enters J p crucial round 0ur Dlympic star J Mon ow real action begin ' f if ..a.

While public schools came under repeated criticism, Rams were kicking up their heels, jumping back and getting down to the tune of M-TV,s greatest hits. Michael Jackson thrilled to the top of the charts, and Boy George was voted both one of the most eligible bachelors and one of the worst-dressed women! Christie Brinkley became an Uptown Girl, Brooke Sheilds went to Princeton, and Jodie Foster went to court - for posession of cocaine. America reveled in Trivial Pursuit and went ga-ga over Cabbage Patch Dolls, while hot new stars like Tom Cruise and Kevin Bacon pumped pulses and spurred new interest in movies. Network's The Day Afteri' and Hollywood's Testement stimulated thought while Terms of Endearmentf' The Big Chill and The Right Stuff' won critical laurels. Rams, though, preferred to suit out in torn sweats and boogie to s'Flashdance and Footloose,' - while they weren't witnessing the breakdancing craze of standing in line for the Police or Simon and Garfunkle, that is. GMHS celebrated on it's own level with highly successful Homecoming and Winterfest Celebrations, as well as the annual smash hit - Air Band competition. Rams were caroled by Shadows, wooed by Images, and visited by poem-bearing cupids. While dieters wallowed in NutraSweet and everyone shunned EDB-spiked muffin mizes, Seniors dutifully ditched on the 84 th school day before the Big Night, and Rams snared an extra 24 hours to just be bizarre - courtesy of Leap Year. So what if George Orwell did miss the boat? Rams will take good old black and gold spirit over Newspeak propaganda any day.
