A Dedication to . . . Uri gin ality Teaching is still such a fun experience, I really enjoy com- ing to school every day. This quote from Mrs. Nancy Ham- monds is an excellent example of why she was the choice for the dedication of the 1987 Raider, Mrs. Hammonds is a member of the Bedford Library Board, the Texas Council of Social Studies, and representative on the Faculty Council. Mrs. Hammonds wanted history to be exciting for her students. Each week she tried to do something different to keep the chapters from getting too boring. It might have been the use of maps, charts, filmstrips, or the comparison of current events. Possibly the most enjoyable were the occasional visitors that came to the class to introduce a new unit. The visitors were dressed in a costume appropriate for the time period being studied. Along with the fun came the work, too. Each six weeks the students did a project. They always had to turn in a political cartoon notebook, a time line, and a genealogy report. But work was not always difficult work. Her classes studied other countries and their peoples, their contributions, and their food. Mrs. Hammonds did not go about teaching history in any set fashion or by any certain guidelines. She was admired for her creativity and unique teaching methods. Congratulations to Mrs. Hammonds for an outstanding year on the flipsidef' ' I.

Le t: The sky filled with fireworks, the re ighting of the Statue of Liberty gained the nation's applause. The statue was lighted again for its 100th birthday, following a S66 million facelift. f k Below: Number one on the charts for five weeks, Whitney Houston's song The Greatest Love ofAll was the number one song of 1986. 1986. The year the people of Texas had to leam to say Usesquicentennial. ' The 150th birthday of our state prodded a year-long celebration and a 3,235 mile covered wagon joumey that ended up in Fort Worth! In sports, Brian Bozworth of Oklahoma University was big news. A member of the football team, he was banned from the Orange Bowl lgame because of steroid use. When he ap- peare at the game wearing a National Com- munists Against Athletes t-shirt, he was asked not to retum to the university. In October, the Mets won the World Series: and the Cowbo s, what could be said?' Mark White, well-known llor his educational reforms, lost the election for Govemor to Bill Clements in November. The Iran Arms Scandal brought wonder to the minds of Americans. No one knew the truth about what happened, and if he did, the fifth amendment pro- tected him.' Using submarines and underwater cameras, we took a close look at the Titanic. Sitting on the bottom of the Atlantic since 1912, unable to be raised, our curiosity about the shi was finally satisfied! lt was 100 years ago that Sora-Cola hit the market. Now they don't just make drinks, but clothes and accessones also bear their name.' A little closer to home, in Fort Worth an explosion caused by an arsonist cutting a gas line put some business owners out of business, and destroyed a street of Fort Worth. A ten-year-old boy held hostage at our own DFW Airport made some peo- ple wonder what we had to do to be safe any more! And finally, the people ofthe United States joined together coast to coast in Hands Across America, a true project of charity to help the poor.
