Orwell’s Doom Did ’84 Live Up? | 984, Orwell’s year, did not produce Big Borther, Ingsoc, or Eurasia as foreshadowed in 1984. The pure Socialist world of Marx's Das Kapitel did not emerge, but neither did Cooper’s Eutopia or Thoreau’s Walden materialize. 1984 was a year full of events and happenings both good and bad. Many individual triumphs went on record in 1984 Jesse Jackson became the first serious black candi- date for President. His “rainbow coalition” carried the state of Virginia in the Democratic primaries. As the first female running mate to an earnest Presiden- tial choice, Geraldine Ferraro also placed her name in the annals of political history. Vanessa Williams became the first black Miss America, and regretfully the first to cede the crown to her runner-up after posing for nude photographs in Penthouse. In medicine, heart work was the order of the year, with two major stories breaking the news. First came Baby Fae, a normal baby except for the fact that she received a baboon heart to replace her own failing one. S he was the first infant to receive such a trans- plant. Unfortunately, she died forty days after receiv- ing the transplant. Next came William Schroeder, a 52 year old man. In 1984 he had the second artificial heart transplant. and the recovery from such an op- eration was a first; Schroeder was active only three days after surgery. 1984 certainly proved the leaps and bounds made in medical advancement. The Republican Dominating Party in the 1984 Election, held their con vention in Datlas, Texas “ a.) — “ », . William Schroeder is the Second and only living human to have received an artificial heart Student Life Current Events one in Flag seems a fitting background for congratulations to Swim Team

; f ; ao. a eo Jonathan Defalco and Carolyn Davenport visit MHS to share their feelings on Veterans Day National Merit finalist, Bert Lott, calls up information on available scholarships from SOICC ed Tae A Step Ahead Each year, juniors from around the country take the PSAT tests. From these tests, the highest scor- ers are chosen to compete for Na- tional Merit Scholarships. Bert Lott, a senior at MHS, has made it all the way to the finals of this scholarship competition. To become a semi-finalist, Bert had to be in the top half of all PSAT scorers. After being chosen as a semi-finalist, he had to write an essay about himself. “It took a long time to write an essay that didn’t sound pompous, but still was acceptable,”’ says Bert. During his senior year Bert took the SAT test. His score on this test as well as his essay confirmed him as a finalist. Being a finalist as- sures the person of a good educa- tion at a top school. Bert was not the only senior to excel this year. Mike Martin was one of thirty-seven agriculture stu- dents from across the U.S. to re- ceive an all-expense-paid trip to the National Future Farmers of America Seminar on Computers in Washington, D.C. To get this honor Mike won the state competition with his applica- tion of using computers to keep personal farm accounts and the MHS chapter’s various records. While at the seminar Mike had to give a presentation on his uses of the computer. “‘l felt that the semi- nar was a very educational exper- ience about new technologies within agriculture, comments Mike. Each year there are a few stu- dents who go above and beyond the call of duty. These are but two of the many MHS’ers who have shown outstanding qualities throughout the °'84-'85 school year.
