The direction wasn't always for- wardg sometimes it was to the side, a little off the beaten path , and sometimes the movement was regressive, but the movement was a change. The tables seemed to turn on the United States when 50 Americans at the embassy in Iran were taken captive. Some felt this only served to exemp- lify the United States' failing status. But, even those who thought the U.S. was faultering admitted that for the first time in almost 30 years the people were united concerning a pol- itical conflict. They were grow- ing into unity. Many Americans were pleas- antly surprised when, for a change, Canada came to the aid of the U.S. by smuggling Ameri- can embassy personnel who had avoided the take-over home to their families and country. In the midst of what came to be known as the Iranian crisis Senator Edward Kennedy QD- MASSJ made the long-anticipa- ted announcement that he would seek his party's nornin- ation for president. Many polit- icians viewed this as the begin- ning of the Campaign race. The Democratic horses were unden- iably President Carter and Sen- ator Kennedyg the two forerun- ners who were continually fluctuating in the popularity polls by mere links. Governor Ronald Reagan quickly outsted John Connally only to find John Anderson speedily gaining in the track. SEASONS are the symbol of change. Many people enjoy the first frost because of the newness it promises. I I 1

THE Fort Wayne Children 's Zoo provided an unusual escape, a chance for picnics and animal watching. THE brass section added their own form of class and style to the pep sessions. 4-OPENING! Onward, Upward, Outward Onward, Upward, Outward Locally a new Fort Wayne administration took over. Mayor Winfield Moses assumed office January 1, 1980. The change from Republican to Democratic promises a move- ment and the mayor promises expansion. Our school reflected every- thing that was happening around us. Anti-Iranian feeling was rampant. Anyone could parti- cipate in a gambling pool on the American Hockey team. Music maintained its traditional high priority standing with high school students. Maybe the music best parel- led our lifestyle. The established artists remained near the top while new ones never ceased to challenge their statuses. A new breed of music came to be known as New Wave rock. It was a compilation of everything presently existing, but it moved to expand and explore. It al- lowed growth of aritsts much like an academic institution teaches a student how to use his talents and learn the concepts necessary for survival. People want to grow. They need to change. And in order to grow, they must expandg ex- plore their potential, their horizons and their goals. Political happenings were in abundance when President Car- ter asked the American athletes and people to boycott the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow in protest to the Soviet invasion of Afganistan. Following Car- ter's announcement the U.S. Hockey team shocked the world by winning the Hockey title at the Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York.
