Reaganites live soaps Dan is being rushed to the hospital, Laura ' s car is smashed and she ' s stranded on 1st Street, Kerri and Dennis are reunited. Sound like a soap opera? Well it is. Welcome to Reagan High. Though many Reaganites (even guys) followed at least one TV soap opera (many watched three or four), that didn ' t seem to be enough for them. They wanted more. So, for five days out of the week, seven hours out of the day, Reaganites lived their own version of General Hospital, All My Children, The Young and the Restless, etc. We waited with bated breath to hear the answers to our questions: Would James Wright ever be content with the Radar and Spur and quit complaining. Would Rodney Espinoza graduate with his class, or would he end up being a S5-yr-old PW. ' Even the administration, our Guiding Light, had questions: Would Mrs. Seal ever return to Reagan, or would she in- stead spend her time working on her sun- tan? Would the new Attendance Policy ac- tually work, or would Reaganites succumb to the calls of City Park and miss more than ten days a semester? For the answers to these questions and more, stay tuned to The Days of Our Li es . . .
