Entertainer '8 Unforgettable Watching television and listening to the radio was a favorite activity of many Hardaway students. This past year, many entertainers stayed in the spotlight while others resurfaced or appeared for the first time. Among those staying in the spotlight was the Huxta- ble family from NBC's The Cosby Show which had remained a a hit television show and Phil Collins who constantly released hit after hit as a solo performer, and as lead singer for Genesis. Also remaining popu- lar this year was Huey Lewis and the News who claimed that it was 'lHip To Be Square. Entertainers such as U2, whose album The Joshua Tree was released after a two year period following their last album The Unforgettable Fire, resurfaced this year. Also becoming popular again was L.L. Cool J whose new album was Bigger and Deffer than his last album Radio. A favorite newcomer to the entertainment scene was a fuzzy space alien named Alfwho starred in his own hit television show on NBC. Also coming into the spotlight was Suzanne Vega who had been praised by critics for years, but only this year received national exposure with her hit song Luka.

I News 8 What Happened Then Many events made the news in 1987. These events affected most people in that they created opinion on different subjects, made people think about the World around them or sympathize with or antipathetic against someone. Politics played an important role in the news. American's watched as Lt. Col. Oliver North testified before the Iran-Contra hearings. Some people claimed North was a hero while oth- ers believed that North was a law- breaker and should be punished. Conflicting opinions were also creat- ed with President Reagan's nomina- tion of Robert Bork to the Supreme Court. This nomination was eventual- ly rejected by the Senate. Reagan's second nomination of William Gins- burg was withdrawn after Ginsburg admitted he smoked marUuana a few times in the 60's and 70's. Also with- drawing from a political situation was Democratic presidential candidate, Gary Hart, who admitted to romantic involvement mth Donna Rice. In October, Southem California was rocked by an earthquake which mea- sured 6.1 on the Richter scale. Also in October, the whole nation was stunned by a 508 point drop in the Dow Jones industrial stock average. This tremendous drop caused uncer- tainty in the market and many stock- holders lost money. One such stock- holder, who lost over one million dollars, ended up killing himself and his stockbroker. Nineteen-eighty seven was a time to say good-by to many popular enter- tainers such as Fred Astaire, Liberace, John Huston, Lee Marvin, the Great one Jackie Gleason, and Lorne Green. It was also a time to celebrate with the crovming of Raye Lani Rae Raflo as Miss America and Dennis Conner's winning of the America's Cup.
