A TIME TO BUILD UP, The old two-story railroad depot in Illmo was torn down in March of this year. It was built in 1909 by the Cotton Belt Railroad and was used in the past as a Western Union office and for passenger and baggage service. The depot was replaced by a new, more adequate metal building. All that now remains of the landmark are a few scraps of lumber, rusty nails, and old memories.

A TIME TO BE BORN, AND A TIME TO DIE, As a country, we had to bid farewell to many respected public figures. The nation grieved when john Wayne, the western hero, lost his battle against cancer. Eleven teenagers were trampled to death while waiting in line to see the rock group Guess Who . Tragedy struck the New York Yankees when catcher, Thurman Munson was killed in an airplane crash. Lucille Ball's crazy friend and loyal sidekick, Vivian Vance, died at the age of 69. And finally, one of the nation's wealthiest men, Nelson D. Rockefeller, died in his office. As a school, lllmo-Scott City witnessed the addition of two new assets to the Business Department. The students, themselves, were caught up in the excitement that accompanies the arrival of a baby. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Andrews and Mr. and Mrs. Robert McCowan are the proud parents of Adam Moore Andrews and Michael Owen McCowan, who by the way took their time getting here! After many months of heated debate, Illmo and Scott City were consolidated into one township. Gray's Landing, Riverside, Illmo-Scott City, and Newport were just a few of the proposed names of the new town. In a later election it was renamed Scott City. It was a relief after several months of living in a town with no name . Nineteen eighty and the progress that accompanied it proved to be the death of Illmo and the birth of a new Scott City. 1 J Y LSMIT 3 ,,..3 5 5 C e . g 5 A i 3 4 T 3, L... , .J .

Nineteen eighty was no exception. This year brought us: rabbit coats, rock concert T-shirts, hiking boots, wool skirts, cowboy hats, satin pants, straight leg jeans, clogs, blazer jackets, and charm necklaces. Disco was one fad considered to be on its way out. Rock concerts became a popular source of entertainment for I-SC students. STYX, Linda Ronstadt, Fleetwood Mac, and Jethro Tull were just a few. A variety of movies came to the area such as: The jerk, Kramer versus Kramer, American Gigilo, The Muppet Movie, The Rose, Chapter Two, Starting Over, Escape from Alcatraz, The Electric Horseman, Little Darlings, and A Coal Miner's Daughter. Bo Derek became the country's newest sex symbol with her performance in the movie 10'f. Miss Piggy, who made her movie debut in The Muppet Movie , was a close second.
