room areas located in the basement of the gymnasium. A scaffold is holding up a fire wall that was blown out from explosion concussion. The explosion was in a base- ment locker room when physical education instruc- tor and coach Chuck Green- lund turned off a light switch. The explosion was caused by a natural gas line leak beneath the street which goes on the side of the high school. It is believed the leaking gas migrated under- ground, below the frost dome, and seeped into the school below the ground surface. The natural gas ap- parently accumulated in the weight room and locker Some of the students in the gym class experienced probably the most terrifying moment in their young lives but emerged with nothing worse than minor burns, cuts and singed hair. However, there were twenty people who received emergency room care following the explosion. The majority were treated and released but Coach Greenlund and two other students had to be flown to the St. Mary's Hospital Burn Center in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 3

The Dawning Head injuries have a million questions why, A long road of discovery, And a desperate need to cry. I myself have felt this desperate need, Fears, confusion, anger and despair Have wondered where my shaky steps will lead, And prayed with all my heart Just to succeed, Not in those big, important things That other people see, But just to walk or write my name Meant all the world to me. And so my fellow victims Remember this, my creed: It's all right to fall and struggle If your goal is to succeed. Stand firm — continue striving, It is not after wind If victory is your friend. And somewhere in the silence, On the brink of despair A new strength of life emerges And new friends with which to share. Gwinn High School Teachers Have taught my mind to see Not the end, but the beginning of an opportunity. By: Debbie Smith To all of my teachers and friends

The governing coalition confidently predicted that 70% of its candidates would be elected Aquino clearly did not reach that goal Among the defeated were two of her relatives. Because of the results of these elections, other elected members chose to resign claiming lack of support There are at least 6 million Ethiopians that are faced with starvation for the second time in 3 years because of excessive drought. Food donations from the West have, again, poured into Ethiopia but. again, much of it does not reach the hungry. In one week, over 172 tons of food were destroyed by rebel forces attack against Eritrean People’s Liberation Front. Gary Hart was one of the many po- litical figures affected by the media. Hart, a Democrat, pulled out of the elections as media magnified Hart’s affair with Donna Rice. But Hart po- litical ambitions could not be con- tained and he re-entered the race for president with the support of his wife. Hart is only one of the many political figures affected by the pressures of the news media and America's curiosity. tould Gary Hart have re-enter e race foi President?
