Balance restored in leisure time Current events, concerts, and other activfties gave Bell students a well-needed break from school during the year. During the fall, current events that rocked the nation touched Bell students as well. The entire crowd at the Bell- Trinity game unified for one moment to cheer the recovery of Jessica McClure, the Midland child who fell down a twenty-six foot well near her home. Black Monday, the biggest stock market crash ever, was felt at Bell also, especially by economic students who had S260,000 of Mr. Bob Stapleton's money invested. Bell students eagerly sought leisure from the unpleasant facets of news and school from the turbulence in the Persian Gulf and from junior themes and research. Music provided a temporary release from school activities. Students enjoyed scores of concerts performed in the Metroplex and also three new radio stations featuring heavy metal, Christian music, and light jazz. Spending time with friends proved to be a favorite activity among students, also. Q3 Cybill Shepherd and Bruce Willis are the stars of the hit television series Moonlighting Vince Neil of the rock band Motley Crue during their recent concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Bono, the lead singer of the rock band U2, opens a concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The Irish group promoted their album, The Joshua Tree. Rock star David Bowie performs in front of a sold-out crowd at Anaheim Coliseum near Los Angeles in September. His Glass Spider Tour was seen in many cities in the United States and Europe.

Three long bells resounded through the halls of Bell Sept. 18, cueing another um seemingly routine fire drill. This drill, ' ,,. however, was actually not a drill at allg rather, it was a warning to evacuate the school from a blaze that erupted in the boiler room and caused six-figure dam- ages, mostly to gymnastic equipment. Most students were hardly concerned with the school's condition since it looked like they would get to go home, but classes resumed even though some had to meet in the courtyard. Although the theme for the day was Luau La- mar, the Vikings succeeded in roasting Miami? the distracted Raiders that evening on the gridiron.
