The U.S. car manufactures were driven away by imported cars and the cost of gas dropped in price from $1.40 per gallon to $1.15. President Reagan was shot in the chest by John Hinckley Jr. on March 31, 1981 in front of a Washington D.C. hotel. His Press Secretary, James Brady was also critically injured. On April 12th, the Space Shuttle Columbia lifed off from its laun- ching pad at Cape Canaveral in Florida. It was the world ' s first reusable space craft and after 36 orbits and 54 hours in space, the craft glided to a perfect landing in the Mojave Desert. On May 13th, Pope John Paul II was seriously wounded by a gunshot wound fired in St. Peters Square in Rome. In Atlanta, slayings of young blacks reached 30 in a two year series of deaths and Air Controllers flew down from their towers in August on a strike. In Northern California, farmers fought a pesty fly; the medfly. On July 31st, a beautiful wedding took place at St. Pauls Cathedral in London. Millions of people watched the Royal Wedding of Prince Charles of Britan and Lady Diana Spencer. In Poland, strikes continued and a country full of fear awaited troubles ahead. Sandra D. O ' Conner was appointed the honor of being the first woman judge to the Supreme Court in September, and Voyager 2 flew by Saturn and sent remarkable photos back to Earth. Sugar Ray Leonard unified the World Welter Weight title September 16th over Thomas Hearns at the riches sports event in history and in early October, President Anwar Sadat of Egypt was assasinated by a band of commandos in Cairo. The Dodgers did well in baseball as they won the World Series over the New York Yankees. On December 13th, the Polish Government declared a state of emergency and issued a decree of martial laws On Christmas Eve, President Reagan asked America to place a single candle in the window to show our support for the people in Poland, for solidarity. At the Super Bowl, the San Fran- sisco 49ers swept the field with a score of 26-21 over Cincinnati. One week in January, a cold front swept across the nation that came down from the Artie Zone. In seven days, 261 people died in related cold weather deaths as the temperatures dipped down to places like 30 below and wind chill facters blew by front doors at 100 degrees below zero. The mountains were full of snow and weekends were spent skiing in powder or relaxing at the beach on a perfect California day. In March, the Jupiter effect alligned all of the planets to the sun for the first time and the last for another century and John Belushi, the well-loved comedian for Saturday Night Live, died. Yet with its many problems, the world seemed to continue on through the year with beautiful moments. Times are remembered and forgotten yet they are relived in memories of us all. Highlights in view will hopefully bring back the good times and let our minds ponder on what has happened, and what will happen in the future of our lives.

vV3 HTS IN VI£ W) 8j Years go by and events occuring during a year, out- side of school, are some- times forgotten in a year- book. Things like politics, econ- omy, entertainment and events con- cerning America, or the world for that matter, pass by and are stored in history books; only to be looked upon as learning mate- rial instead of remembered as good or bad times through the eyes of ahigh school student. On these pages, are those times in one year, March 1981 to March 1982. In this year, it seemed that while the age of the Space Invaders had its back turned, a new video game came and ate it up . . . PAC-MAN. In the movie theater, Raid- ers of the Lost Ark seemed to be the favorite among many. Taps, Reds and On Golden Pond also made the scenes. In television, Hill Street Blues, Mash, Dallas and General Hospi- tal caught many eyes while Fri- days and Saturday Nite Live were the late night relaxers for tired weekend wanderers. In other entertainment, the sounds of the Rolling Stones in October ' 81, gave Mick Jagger a spectacular return. Music was unique with new wave and punk bands seemingly com- ing out of nowhere while Journey played superbly for rock fans. The ' 80s promised the greatest in music and the first two years marked the records for new and origi- nal sounds.
