The Twins' first World Series Championship, fourteen inches of rain, an NFL players strike, and an undefeated football team were Bound To Happen Nineteen, twelve, six, four, three, two — ONE! The Spartan football team moved to No. 1 in the state faster than you could yell, Go Spartans! But, your Spartans weren't the only ones heading for the top. The Minnesota Twins captured the American League Pennant in five games sending the Detroit Tigers on an early vacation. You cheered with your homer hankies, you camped out at Daytons for tickets, and you cheered like never before as you watched the Twins bring Minnesota its first World Series Championship by beating the St. Louis Cardinals in seven games. Vanna White became a household name and Miss Richfield was crowned Aquatennial Queen. Whitesnake hit the charts with their self-titled album, U2 made one of the year's biggest comebacks, and Michael Jackson returned from a three-year absence. Mini-skirts were the rage, white lightning jean jackets could be found everywhere, and guy's haircuts became shorter. Spuds MacKenzie was America's favorite party animal while the Cosby Show continued to dominate the ratings. Denise Huxtable went on to do her own show, and Kirk Cameron slowly replaced Michael J. Fox as the nation's most lovable teenager. Whether it was the success of the Twins or the simplicity of a new fad, it all occurred with a bit of the unexpected. — Lara Putrich A WORK OF ART — Freshman Brian Maki works on a project for art class. MAKE WAY! — Tim Davis (12) crashes through the “Exterminate the Hornets sign before the start of the second half of the football game. 2 Opening
