It was a good year for a new perspective We watched Sadat bring forth an olive branch to change the tensions in the Middle East. We debated the Panama Canal. ERA. abor- tion. the neutron bomb, and American Edu- cation. We witnessed the Lowry protest grow and agitate to stop the giant silver towers that serve American power greed. We continued to pump that same greed at the gas station with increasing imported oil and higher price. We know that most prices were rising but that farm prices were lower. We listened to Mondale say •Hubert taught us how to live . .. and how to die”, and we knew that it was true. We examined the athletic programs for their purposes, motivation, and leadership against our own. We looked at Kruegers Creek. Selective TV. Central and Jefferson additions. County Courthouse. Viking Plaza and Perkins, and we wondered about the future of our area. We reflected on Presley and Prinze when they left early and others like Crosby. Chaplin and Marx after a full life. We could see past the debris of the parking lot at the end of the day to the new concepts, the rich experiences in classes, the partici- pation and the new self discipline. We felt good about the future - because we had learned - for it was a good year for a new perspective. Mr. Riggs
