This year did not pass quietly. From fashions to music to politics everything changed. For years, hemlines were well below the knee. But once again, they began to rise. And speaking of rising, prices practically doubled. Gas reached an all-time high at $1.10 a gallon. An odd-even rationing system was put into effect in some parts of the United States. But no parts of the U.S.A. were immune to the change in the music of the time. The trend went from electronically controlled disco to the basics of hard rock. Later into the year, the country as a whole felt the pressures of an international battle. In Iran, the Atatollah Khomeini and his followers held fifty U.S. citizens captive in Tehran. The Iranians demanded the return of their disposed Shah. Overall, 1979 will be remembered as the good 'ole days in many students lives. It was the beginning and the ending of a memorable time.

Do You Remember These? The 70's were an exciting time for the world. History-making events were happening every day. Gracefully, in 1976, the United States celebrated her 200th birthday with a party that stretched from shore to shore. On the other hand, on August 9, 1974, Richard M. Nixon ended his career in public office in an unparalleled drama in American history, as the first president to be forced from office. Further into the decade, with the world watching, Louise Brown, the first child conceived outside a woman's womb, was born, July 25, 1978. Louise had no idea of the rejoicing her birth brought. Twelve days after this blessed event. Pope Paul VI died. His successor. Pope John Paul I, died fifty-three days later. Pope John Paul II replaced him. Through all this happiness and sadness the world survived, as she had before and will again. As long as we live for today, look to tomorrow, and hold yesterday's memories, we will continue to survive. 16 inch color T.
