Comet makes appearance after seven ty- five years ook! Up in the sky! A bird? A L plane? Superman? No, it was Halley's comet, making its first appearance since 1910. People had waited for the comet for seventy-five years, and once it arrived, comet-mania once again struck the earth. In the stores, shirts carrying the comet's name could be found, books were written, and kits telling how and where to find the comet were made. I imagine the stores picked up a lot of money from shirts, buttons, bumper stickers and everything else they made, said Charlie Misner, senior. Even I bought a shirt and three books. Before 1985, the comet received much publicity in other aspects. It had been blamed for the deaths of kings and the defeats of armies. It had even been associated with Noah's flood. Halley's comet has been around for more than 2,000 years, longer than any other comet. It is the only comet to appear so often and be bright enough to be seen with the naked eye. Before it can be seen though, it had to be found. Finding it was no easy feat, according to some Oakies. I tried looking for it, but l couldn't find it, said Karen Twitt, sophomore. It was hard to find because of all of the city Iights, said Corky Garko, junior. Last year's showing was not as nearly as extravagant as times before. This was because the comet did not come very close to the earth. I didn't think it was a very big deal. When I looked at it, all I thought was 'Wow!' and that was about it, said Jay Crockett, sophomore. lt really wasn't what I thought it would be. The comet will not be back again until the year 2061, making this a once in a lifetime opportunity. The comet, described as a fuzzy tennis ball , looked like a very faint star with a lot of fuzz around it, according to Charlie. Halley's comet was the very first comet I ever saw, said Charlie. lt was something my relatives saw in 1910. It is a piece of history that hasn't changed. While everything else in history changed, Halley's comet always stayed the same, time and time again, Since the comet only comes around to the earth once in a lifetime, many people felt like they ought to at least try and look for it. The only reason why I looked at it was to say that I actually saw it, said Corky Garko. Just finding out that the comet was coming made me want to learn something about it, said Charlie. A few Oakies found the comet to be disappointing and thought that the comet was hyped up more than it was worth, or that it was a great big flop. Iwas really disappointed with the comet, said John Owen, sophomore. The times that you had to go hunt for it were inconvenient. Since it was so far away the size of it made it difficult to find. After all of these years waiting for the comet to come, said Corky, all that I thought when I looked at it was 'ho hum', I really thought that it was a flop. Some may have been disappointed while others were enthused, but the facts still remain, a lifetime opportunity came by, and they all took advantage of it By Kelly Reed I-lalleY 4 Mrs. Linda Whitmore teaches her science students about the comet.
