Temper, Temper! Super Bowl XXXVII For the first time since 1980, Mount St. Helens has blown its top. The eruption this year has caused relatively little damage compared to the 1980 eruption, which caused several million dollars worth of damage and killed 19 people. This year ' s explosions have been kept contained by movable dams and other obstructions placed in the path of the lava flow. The only destruction done was to the resorts at the bottom of the hill. Leading geologists say that it is likely that further eruptions will take place, but the havoc caused by the huge ash deposits of the 1980 eruption should not be equaled. r America on Ice The American ice team has done it again. For the first time since the 1980 Olympics, the Russians have lost the Gold medal to the American Hockey Team. In the 2004 Olympics, as in 1980, America won by coming from behind with a pair of third period goals. New records were also set on the ice: Robert Heiden, son of Eric Heiden who won five Gold Medals in the 1980 Olympics, also won the men ' s 1500 and 4500 meter races, as had his father. The withdrawal of figureskaters. Randy Gardner and Tia Babalonia, brought great disappointment to the ' 80 audiences, but the fans of this year had no disturbances as, once again, we American ' s had our finest ' v ' •= on ice. The Oakland Raiders have re- turned after a 23 year dryspell to the Super Bowl. The head coach of the Raiders, Jim Plunkett, the quarter- back who led the same Raider team to a 27-10 victory over the Philidel- phia Eagles, in Super Bowl XV, has returned victoriously again. Plunkett led his team, with the great finesse he used as a quarter- back, to an easy 34-16 victory over the Patriots. The Raiders, always known for their flashy coaches, have surprised the public with the calm, imperturbable Plunkett, an asset to the Raiders and the NFL.

Jda cA 24, 2004 Angle Jewel, Diane Johnson. Paul Bowden. Todd Lucas. Katrina Tlllery Class of ' 81 to Host Eighties Day HTHS 99 Lake Hamilton School is going to sponsor an Eighties Day with everyone dressing up, and a dance with the music of the decade being played. The activity is to be sponsored by the Class of 1981 and will coincide with the Class of ' 81 ' s reunion being held at Lake Hamilton on March 25, 2004. The reunion is intended to be as realistic a trip into nostalgia as one could wish. The music, fads, clothing, and movies will all be represented at the dance. The pictures shown above are representations of the clothing. If you will notice, the baggy jeans, sweaters, and tennis shoes and loafers all have come back into style this winter. The members of the Class of 1981 are asked to bring records and 8-track tapes for use. The tapes will probably include such artists as REO Speedwagon, Andy Gibb, Bee Gee ' s, Queen, Barry Manilow, Allen Par- sons ' Project, Billy Joel, and many more. Many old movies will be shown during the two day reunion. Such smash hits as Kramer vs. Kramer, The Empire Strikes Back, All That Jazz, Smokey and the Bandit-Part Two, Flash Gordon, and the movie with the cult of its own. The Rookie Horror Picture Show. There will be an antique auto show of the 1980 models of the Trans Am, and the Camero, with the oldest car being a red Datsun 1600 from the Smithsonian Institute. In our knowledge, this reunion is one of the most extensive ever planned by a class at Lake Hamilton and it is hoped by all, that the journey into nostalgia is a most memorable one. The Good Old Days The gas prices hit an all time high again this month of $6.49. The reason for the latest increase is due to OPEC driving up the prices for the third consecutive month. The price per barrel now stands at an all time high of $157 for crude oil. The gas prices started rising in the early 70 ' s and have continued almost unabated since then. It is the belief of this columnist that it is up to us to act and to quit waiting until the prices get out of the reach of the average citizen. s The Future 343
