Very close to home was the eco- nomic situation. We cringed as our 1-4K gold chains became increasingly expensive as gold soared to S800 an ounce. We felt the double-digit infla- tion as our paychecks and allowances just didn't buy what they used to. f. vi ,5,1,,f'. f Z 5f ',7a-j7 fZT5T'5 X.

New Decade Hit Local Scene Welcome to the new decade in Deadford, Boregonf' All kinds of exciting things happened here in the center of the western United States. The economic problems of the nation were felt here in high prices on everything. Housing starts were down, however large construction projects did proceed, as a new jail was built as was the Applegate Dam. A new bank surfaced on every cor- ner. Also proliferating in 1980 were fast food joints. Hot dog lovers could get satisfied at Fabulous Franks and Wienerschnitzel.

Student involvement with City Hall ranged from obsenfing a council meeting to paying for a speeding ticket. 14 WARM UP
