opening 2! 1980 - a new decade, new feel- ings - an explosive year. World events almost detonated larger explo- sions. The crisis in Iran gave a new boost to the patriotism of many Amer- icans. Feelings bubbled over as Amer- icans saw Iranian students burning American flags and holding Ameri- cans hostage. Export Iranians, Import Heinekins , Dump the Ayatollah , and Iranians Go Home became familiar slogans to citizens actively protesting the takeover of the U.S. Embassy. If Iran was not a big enough threat to United States' supremacy, the U.S.S.R.'s invasion of Afganistan cer- tainly was. There were possibilities that the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat of the Olympiad would not be the same again. A boycott of the Summer games in Mos- cow by the United States as well as nearly 30 other nations put a damper on non-political world competition. However, the Winter games at Lake Placid ran smoothly with many pre- ii., Qitrcw I trait World Politics I n cedent setters. Speed skater Eric Heiden became the first man to ever win five individual Olympic gold medals. Also, for the first time in twenty years, the Soviet hockey team was defeated. The team that dealt the mighty blow was, ironically enough the United States' team led by ex- Goaldigger, Mike Eruzione. Chants of U.S.A.! and God Bless Our Hockey Team went through the ice house as the team won their gold medals. Fears of a communist takeover of the free world led to the reinstate- ment of draft registration. This touched the lives of many McAuleyans because women were to be included as well as men. It made girls think about the gravity of the times -they and their friends could be inducted within the year. National happenings also precipi- tated upheavals. For the first time, a Roman Catholic pope stepped foot in the White House while on tour of the United States. Fifty four seniors got the chance to see him in Boston dur- ing their senior trip. The White House made news again when Presidential election campaigning began. Chap- paquiddik raised questions of whether Ted Kennedy was Presidential mate- rial or not, while the Iranian crisis made voters wonder if President Car- ter should be re-elected. Sparks flew as gasoline prices rose to over 351.00 a gallon in the Toledo area. Struggles for the car increased for many girls because parents gained a new excuse for not driving: It's too expensive to be wasting gas by driv- ing around on the weekends. Downtown renovation made great advancement with the construction of the Sea Gate building as well as other banks and businesses on the river- front. Many reactants go into producing an explosion, just as events large and small shaped the 1979-1980 school year. The data was collected, and it was analyzed and is recorded on the pages of the 1980 Gilmarian. ite 1980 I 1 The Ayatollah Khomeini often proved to be a perfect target for the frustrations of school, work, parents, and Iran for some McAuleyans. Ayatollah Khomeini dartboards ranged from this handsome, life-size photo to hand sketched editions.
