This has been a year for movies on a much broader scale. For some, the 1985-1986 school year will be remembered as the year when little brothers and sisters and their teachers were moved from neighborhood schools in the district to grade level centers at Bruce, Valley, Chaney, and West Richmond. We will also remember it as the year we began the term in the middle of the 1-70 World Series. Teens and parents alike will recall this as the year the St. Louis Cards nearly beat the Kansas City Royals. Remember the frenzy, the red and white days, the banners, the hats, and even the yards decorated in Card memorabilia. Two other unprecedented moves were made in our state this year, as Missouri was introduced to its first lottery and its own law requiring seat belts for all automobile users. On a broader scale, we will remember the tragedies that dominated the news. This was the year when space shuttle Challenger exploded moments after lift-off, claiming the , Junior John Jones, who no longer has this much hair, held down the front steps for us. Senior class president Madonna Wiseman did her crepe paper routine for homecoming.

Technologically, robots are movin' us into a new era. Television commercials clammor that we should move up the ladder of success with this or that computer, and that we should move about town in a certain model of auto- mobile. Other ads cry, Make the right move, as you move through life and sign up for this insurance policy or that program. It's something like the popular lyrics of mo- vin' on down the road, or a game in which we make the right chess moves. For most of us, we probably feel as one student put it, We've been moving around all of our lives. For some sixty new students to the M-RH High School this year, moving has brought them into a new building, with new faces, new friends, and new responsibilities. Perhaps so much moving is frustrating, but we can't stop moving and we should at least take a look at where we have been. Mr. Schondelmeyer helps Sherry Hughes compute an algebraic equation. You won't believe it, but I'm reading all this stuff so I can get into college. His Duran Duran shirt always helps Mike Hinchcliff type faster.

lives of her crew and the first teacher in space. We will also remember the earthquakes in Mexico and the air tragedies like the one that killed nearly 350 U. S. Army personnel in Newfoundland. We will recall that the makers of Tylenol were forced to remove their product following a second series of deaths involving cyanide-laced capsules. Late in the school year we watched with attention the problems of the Philippines as a people seeking democracy moved toward their goal as they peacefully ousted their dictator Ferdinand Marcos. Amid other international news was the return of Halley's Comet. It was a once-in-a- lifetime event for us in '86. We studied it in science; watched it on tv; took trips to the St. Louis Science Center; and photographed it for ourselves. But for teenagers here at M-RH, we will remember it as the year Color Purple, Out of Africa, Beverly Hills ( ontinucd on pagr 16) Foods classes provide a relaxed atmosphere for Schantal May, Rosemary Welch, Monica Young, and Derrick Shipley. Chefs Aaron White and Curt Nalls whip up something. (But O.K. you guys! Let's hit those books! What?)
