THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING HAPPENING ssssnssxssssnnassn! E van when school died down, there was always something happen- ing in the form of entertainment. The big screen was assaulted by a torrent of teen-age movies. In the sports world, we had the Olympics. TV was always there. But the biggest attraction was the music scene. Going to concerts became the thing to do. The most popular rockers were Prince, Bruce Springsteen, and Madonna. uPurple Rain the al- bum, concert tour, and movie made Prince the season's number one star. Tina Turner made a reappearance in the music world. Julian Lennon picked up a following, as did the groups Wham and New Edition. Peter Vidmar, Mitch Gaylord, and of course, Mary Lou Retton became household names as the Americans reigned in the 1984 Olympics. Night after night people tuned in to watch the competitions. They were well-pleased with our athletes' superb performances. The movie industry catered to the high school audience. The most popular movies were unquestionably Ghostbusters and Beverly Hills Cop. Many students went to see them more than once. Two se- quel movies were uPorlsty's Revenge and Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning. The Breakfast Club was not outstandingly popular, but most of the students who went to see it enjoyed it. They said it dealt with relevant high school problems and had more meaning than most of the trashy films thrown at them. On TV, shows dealing with the law and comedies were pre- dominant. For the police show lovers, there was Miami Vice. In the comedy department, was the Cosby Show. Bill Cosby proved that he can still make America laugh. The soaps were still very popular. Days of Our Lives ranked number one. General Hospital trailed a poor second. It seemed that people were still ready to follow the adventures of TV's tragic families. Forty-five of America's top singing sensations gathered to sing together on a record. We Are The World became an instant smash. The album USA For Africa became a top-seller and raised millions of dollars, which were sent to relieve the tragic starvation that was ravaging Africa. No matter what else was happening, there was al- ways something going on to entertain those high school students who were willing to be entertained. The people of CHS have certainly proved that. 1 Still popular, Cyndi Lauper seems less flashy than usual. 2 While sitting in detention, the five stars of The Breakfast Club form unlikely friendships. 3 Wham gained popularity at their US. debut and seem destined to make it big.
