The outside world began to seep in as ihe decade of the 80 ' s was born into a whirlpool of troubles. Rising political affairs turned students ' gaze toward the surrounding world. Questions con- cerning registering for the draft, boycott of the Olympics and Americans held hostage in Iran began to have an effect on the lives of PM students. It turned the tide, and patriotism that had been lost since the Vietnam War began to return. It was a different situation, incomparable to any past high school environ- ment. Students were becoming aware of the world politically, and the role which they would have to play in it, The way we reacted to each of these situations was the way we made the difference.

Inside the wails which encased PM, life car- ried on. Students ventured into a year marl ed with ups and downs. As each of us looked back on this year, our memories were varied, different in many aspects from pre- vious years. The 175 days we spent inside of PM could never be repeated. We watched our teams lose and win with pride, suffered through exams, got crazy on weekends, and lived through IVIondays. Whatever was ac- complished this year was because we set our goals high and reached for that mark or stan- dard. That was what made the difference.
