Lisa Kessler found it a good place to work on her racquetball game. 4 Introduction rom politics to people, this year seemed to have a little bit of everything. The 1988 presidential campaign had already begun to dominate the headlines in 1987, and like many others before it, it was not exempt from scandals. Most notably, Gary Hart, previously one of the frontrunners of the campaign, temporarily dropped out of the race after a widely publicized incident involving Donna Rice. But all the mud slinging seemed pretty insignificant when little Jessica McClure fell down an abandoned mining shaft in Midland, Texas. She was trapped for 58 hours before being rescued, and it seemed the entire nation breathed a sigh of relief and applauded her heroic rescuers. The U.S. also had Visits from the Pope, Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, and a Wall Street crash reminiscent of the stock market disaster of 1929. Excitement that bordered on a little good-natured greediness was evident when South Dakota initiated a lottery for the first time. Several big money winners originated in Aberdeen, and even a few lucky Roncalli students were blessed with smaller cash rewards. The highlight of the year for Aberdeen was the completion of the Barnett Center on Northern State's campus. Besides bringing in money, the center brought in many people to shop and dine from the surrounding towns. A new McDonalds on Second Street thrived on the new commerce. Also newly completed was the castle in Storybook Land at Wylie Park. Regardless of whether it was the heroics that emerged amidst a tragedy, or just people trying to make their hometown a better place to live, it all gave us renewed hope for the future and made us proud to say We've Got It All.
