The KKK originated from anti- negro groups after the American Civil War. The KKK almost died out and then reappeared in the early 1960 ' s over the Civil Rights issue. They grew in power and prestige until the black riots of two months ago. One of the many defeats was a particularly bitter struggle over school segregation. This propaganda picture was circulated in many southern states to arouse sympathy and promote the Klan ' s position. The Klan is expected to take the disbandment order to the U.S. Supreme Court. Arkansas Leads Way in Gifted and Talented Education It is hard for us of the 21st century to imagine the monetary problems in education of the 20th century. What we take for granted today was a struggling issue then. For example, the ACE program, Gifted and Talented classes, was one of these controversial issues. In 1980 the pilot program in Arkansas was almost squashed by Governor White. Governor Gray ' s administration, though, greatly expanded the pro- gram; and eventually the idea caught on and spread throughout the U.S. In 1998 the first school created especially for the Gifted and Talent- ed Students was built in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Three years later, the President created a new cabinet position for GT Counciling. The GT program is now flourishing in the United States and is spreading to other countries.

In 1979 Iran was plunged into revolution by the teaching of Ayatol- lah Khomeni. American hostages were taken, im possible demands were made by the Iranians, then the unbelievable happened: the Shah of Iran died in exile in Egypt. This made things very complicated for the American negotiators. The Shah ' s son, Rezegh Pahlavi II, declared himself the Shah in exile. The American hostages were held for 444 days and then released in exchange for the frozen Iranian assets in America. The hostages were released on Inauguration Day, January 20, 1980. The Ayatollah Khomeni ruled until his death in 1984; then his minister, Bani Sadr, took over and ruled until his death until 2003. After Bani Sadr died in 2003, civil war and anarchy swept the country, and the Shah ' s grandson was asked to return to the throne of Iran. It is hoped that the Shah will restore law and order to this very important middle-eastern ally jf old. The Presideni , spokesman, George Smith, has si .;v that as soon as is feasible, ths will pledge monetary and military aid if it is needed.

Bi« x ,sa : -; « jt ' Jne fJiain om enneclion Each year a new Editor has the same old problem- what to write on the Editor ' s Page. Well, I decided to move away from the traditional page- as the 1980-1981 Wolf Howl is far from traditional. The cover has broken away from the usual maroon and gold combination and the sections are far from being in the conventional order. I think that this yearbook should be a reflection of the students it represents, and we are far removed from the Traditional concept of high school students. I am very proud to have been a part of this book. The people who have worked on it, with it, for it, and who are in it are very special. To say thank you does not seem enough. This book is based upon rainbows. We all search for many things throughout our lifetimes and rainbows seem to represent these things, but they are not as hard to find as the proverbial elusive rainbow is. I know that each person at Lake Hamilton can find the things that he searches for, and once he finds them, will be able to hold on to them forever. Si A P dj(Z 4tr7L Tina Watson, Editor
