12 l NORTHWOOD GAZETTE ogaweaogmeea mzmw T MASS MOONIE WEDDING by Darlene Miller The National Unemployment Rate rose dramatically in 1982 along with the federal budget deficit, but dozens of people were employed making wedding gowns and suits for the moonies. July found 2075 identically dressed couples stan- ding for two hours in Madison Square Garden ex- changing vows and gold rings. I wonder if there was time for a quick switch of partners before the mar- riage licenses were signed. 1982 AT A GLANCE by Darlene Miller and Larry Wilson The year 1982 showed a revival of the old and the emergence of the new. Suits and tuxedos were part of the fashion scene. Everyone started wearing decorative shoelaoes and saying ttawesome. They read Real Men Donlt Eat Quiche, they saw ET. and ate Reeses Pieces. The toys of kids and adults were Smurfs, Strawberry Shortcake, Annie and Pac-Man. The video and computer craze created a business boom. Fitness, especially aerobic dance, was the word of the day. John Hinckley was com- mitted to an insane asylum, John DeLorean paid $10 million dollars bail for cocaine charges while awaiting trial. On the international level the world felt the deaths of Princess Grace of Monaco and of Soviet leader Leonid Breshnev. The United States lost several great Amiericans. Among them Actor Henry Fonda, Football Coach Paul ttBear', Bryant, Author John Cheever, and Actress Ingrid Bergman. ERA YES! by Darlene Miller The proposed Equal Rights Ammendment was FALKLANDS WAR MAKES WORLD UNEASY by Larry Wilson ttThe shot heard 'round the world. This is often used to tell about the first shot of the American Revolution. This quote might also be used to describe the Falklands Islands War. This war threatened to blow up into World War III. Americans anticipated the entry of the Soviet Union. If this would have happened, the United States would almost surely have entered the war to protect Great Britain. The course for this conflict arose over the ques- tion of ownership of a small group of Islands in the South Atlantic. Great Britain claimed ownership, but in the spring of 1982 Argentine forces invaded the Islands. Shortly thereafter English Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher sent forces to the Falklands. After much intense fighting, in which both Britain and Argentina suffered heavy losses, British Forces were able to capture the capitol, Port Stanley. With this came the end of a rather short, hardly fought, war that brought the Argentines to surrender. The battle is over now, but the threat of a future war may again spring up some day. Until then, World leaders will have to find ways to keep peace on this planet. defeated as the States failed to ratify it by June 30, 1982. Phyllis Schafly, a vocal leader of the opposi- tion, rejoiced that ERA was tldead forever. The lady forgot some of the facts though. Within two weeks, the ammendment was reintroduced by a joint resolution of Senators. It seems that the chain gangs did some good.

T IEDANTHERS ON PARADE . . . ANOTHER GREAT SHOW As the auditorium begins to fill with anxious students and parents alike, backstage a group of very nervous students and a slightly ragged choir teacher try and prepare themselves for a new and exciting version of Panthers on Parade, Nor- thwoodls own variety show. As always the house was packed with the classmates and parents of those performing. The evening was hosted by emoees Trent Gongwer and Rex Holdeman. The poduction was under the direction of choir teacher Becky Coffin who also made an appearance in the show as a slightly large-bottomed choir director. Some old friends also made an appearance, or reappearance you might say, Seniors Jill Sholly and Laura Showalter. The girls play the bumbling and funny Panthers on Prade janitors with a knack for interrupting at just the wrong time. All in all the 1982 production of Panthers on Parade was a likeable success with highlights by the Dawning Generation, the rock group Paradox, a Hee- Hawish group of senior girls in the barnyard and a story told to small children by the emoees. Year after year Panthers on Parade is a great show and a demonstration of the talented Northwood students gift of entertainment. 4 Right top: Hard Rockin Paradox performs An American Band.
