Gulf War Threatens U.S. Interests The Persian Gulf War began as a war be- tween Iran and Iraq n 1979 It continued for many years with skirmishes and small victories claimed by both sides, but with no end in sight Iran began to involve other countries m 1986 and it intensified its efforts in 1987 Gradually the U.S has become more and more involved as shipments of oil bound for the U.S and its allies began to become tar- gets for Iranian missiles and mmes OngmaHy. President Reagan sent members of the Armed Forces to protect the U.S flagged oil tankers The Naval fleet was also to patrol the Persian Gulf and search for underwater mmes and gunboats Occasionaly the patrol method didn't work and U.S ships were fired upon and or bombed This resulted in acts of U S retaliation and an increased U.S pres- ence m the area Senior John Nelson, who will be joining the Air Force after graduation indi- cated that he wasn't too worried'' about the situation He oded. The Persian Gulf is a vital link and is needed by our country Sup- porting our trade is a good policy'' Community Ed. Provides Experiences The Luck Community Education Program, which was founded m 1982 on the premise that the schools and other local resources could be used to solve most community problems, provided many educational and social programs for the teenagers as well as the adults of the community Stu- dent basons Kellie Scheeie and Nancy Christiansen worked with Director Sue Mattson and the other members of the Advisory Council to increase student in- volvement and use of the programs avai- abie Some of the activities which were of special benefit to the high school students included the school carmvai and spook - house, dances, and classes for anyone 16 or older In addition, the Community Ed provided loans for dances and special funding for the S ADD starter kit and for students to attend language camps, the journaksm workshops, and the Pipfest They also provided some of the decora- tions used for '88 Prom Papa J's Moves Papa J's Pizza, which was selected n the Of The Year Survey as the favorite hang-out of the students, moved mto a much larger building earlier this year m addition to pizza, the restaurant also served spaghetti, some sandwiches, and daily specials For the students. Papa's was much more than just a place to quench the appetite The arcode n the rear of the restaurant contained 10 video game machines and pmba machines as well as a pool table and “juke box Pool tournaments for students and oduits were held on Thursday nights A prize of ten dollars went to the winner and a pizza was served to the pool Drawings for prizes were also held during the hobdays Raffle tickets were sold on a TV which was given away at the Christmas party The pro- ceeds from the raffle were given to Mfce Peppenger for medical bills incurred m his accident Many non-Luck students spend time at Papa J's and the arcade during the weekends Due to the largely student cbenteie. Papa J's hours were adjusted to coincide with the hours which most stu- dents were free from school to patronize the popular hang-out Sen Jotn Nelson demonstrates Ns artistic liar wf e pantng a co-worker s face at the School Carnival which was sponsored by me Comrrx yty Educat on Ccxnci Students Learn To Communicate Students Jennifer Hendricks.
