Kelly Cooper rf' W' xmas fm, f Strike-ing summer Big even ts fu1H11 Silence. Quietude descended as the last students and teachers walked out the door. The parking lot was deserted except for a few stragglers saying good-bye. The school would be relatively empty for the next three months. No, the Plague had not taken over the country. And no, electronic games had not quite yet captured the U.S. It was just summer vacation. As students jumped in their cars and took off for one last lunch with friends or toward their new jobs, all had thoughts of the wonderful things that this summer could bring . . . that spectacular new car . . . that special girl or guy . . . that vacation that you've always wanted to take. This summer might just be the summer you've always waited for. However, in Iune, the National Baseball Association went on strike. They wanted higher wages. Many students who worked at the Stadium lost their jobs. Some people felt so disgusted that the ballplayers would do this to them, that they boycotted the Texas Rangers by refusing to watch the games when Varied dreams the season resumed in late August. However, some faithfuls stuck with their team right up to the end of the season, which stretched into October. The idea of striking seemed to catch on. On Aug. 3, the National Air Traffic Controllers went on strike. The con- trollers were striking for better working conditions, more safety precautions and the all-time favorite, more pay. Many vacations were delayed or not even taken since it was such a hassle to get a seat on an airplane. President Ronald Reagan gave the controllers 10 days to return to work or they would be fired. Some returned, but many did not and they were, alas, fired. On july 29, as the entire world watched, Prince Charles wed Lady Diana Spencer. Charles and Diana will one clay rule England as king and queen. Whether all the things dreamed of were accomplished or not, still it was a break from the ever-present school. It was a chance to relax until September, when the doors once again opened and the school once again became a bustling center of activity. Feeding her sister's horse, Lou, sophomore Amy Cooper prepares to ride while staying at her grandparent's house in Angleton. Most students took advantage of the summer break to experience a change of scenery. Gathering during the summer, cheerleaders draw signs for pep rallies. Many other groups got together over the summer including the football teams, the band, the volleyball teams and the drill team. -A-4.
