Magnificat High School - Magnifier Yearbook (Rocky River, OH)

Page 170 text:

mu Me U o lU As seniors finalized their plans for Genesis, Student Council candidates prepared for the election. And as May 8 approached, increasing attention was given to Democratic Presidential candidates, two of whom gave a large amount of attention to the city of Cleveland. When May 8 was over, Senator Gary Hart scored an upset victory in Ohio’s primary to give his campaign a needed boost. The hotly contested Issue 1 to finance a dome over the stadium through property taxes was defeated by a 2 to 1 margin. And the Soviet Union announced it would not participate in the XXIII Olympiad in Los Angeles. That was three months after the death of Andropov and Chernenko’s assumption of power in the U.S.S.R. And within two weeks of the Soviet pullout — they refused to call it a boycott — nine Eastern bloc nations followed their lead. But the Olympic flame still came through Rocky River, and Magnificat still smelled like onions. The seniors still pulled their pranks, even if they were a little milder than they had been in previous years. So Magnificat survived it all—the breakup of AT T, stampedes to get Cabbage Patch Kids, anxious waits until another shipment of Trivial Pursuit games came into the depart¬ ment store, and all George Orwell’s predictions. The siding on the front of the school was still blue—faded from a year’s wear, but unques¬ tionably still blue. 166 CLOSING
