1980 was a boom year for the yellow ribbon industry as millions of Ameri¬ cans showed their concern for the plight of 52 fellow countrymen held hostage in Iran by tying yellow ribbons around their “old oak trees.” When their minds weren’t on the hostages, their eyes were glued to their televi¬ sion sets as they waited breathlessly to find out who shot “J.R.” The year was characterized by a general return to traditional ways and values, and, al¬ though Groveton’s moral fiber didn’t seem to be radically affected by the preachings of Rev. Jerry Falwell, the leader of the Moral Majority, some conservative trends were evident on the high school scene.

Photo by Delma Studios The year began with the hostage crisis in its second month, and national politics soon made big news as more than a dozen candidates hit the campaign trail in the year-long quest for the presidency. As the candidates came and went, millions of dollars were poured into campaign coffers and spent on packaging the candidates as perfect combinations of John F. Kennedy, Abe Lincoln, and F.D.R. In this flurry of political activity, John Anderson came to prominence as the favorite candidate of many students. As the summer progressed, the eyes of the world were focused on a little known mountain in the state of Washington — Mt. Saint Helen’s, which suddenly ended one hundred years of inactivity with a series of fiery eruptions. Meanwhile, in Po¬ land, the communist economic system was hit by a stormy political eruption. Union leader. Lech Walesa organized his co-workers in unprecedented strikes, shaking up the Polish economy. This made many in the U.S. fearful of a Soviet invasion of Poland. American relations with the U.S.S.R., already strained by a grain embargo imposed to protest the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, remained chilly.
