Heroes Mourned The seven mourned Ameri- can Heroes. Christa McAu- liffe, Gregory B. larvis. Ju- dith A. Resnik, Francis R. Scobee, Ronald E. McNair. Michael J. Smith and Ellison S. Onizuka. America's fifty-sixth manned mission in space turned out to be one of the worst tragedies in the histo- ry of space flights. The space shuttle, Chal- lenger, exploded barely a minute into it's 10th orbital mission. Six astronauts and teacher Christa McAuliffe, the first ordinary Ameri- can to venture into space, were killed. The possibility of sudden death is something that all explorers learn to live with. Watching the film of the shuttle, it shows how fast and how final things can be- come, said legendary test pilot Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound bar- rier. So that's why you don't waste your time think- ing about it. Former Filipino President Ferdinand Marcos was ex- iled to Hawaii. Sylvester Stallone and Ivan Drago star in Rocky IV; the return of the American hero. Reign Ends Former Philippine Presi- dent Ferdinand Marcos ruled the Philippines for 20 years. Now his rule has come to an abrupt halt. Cor- azon Aquino, Marcos' chal- lenger, took the oath of of- fice after a long struggle. A stolen election was stopped by the United States, and Marcos was given exile in Hawaii. Summit Talks In late January 1986, Ron- ald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev met face to face for a fireside summit. This meeting was historic by any measure, partly because it was the first summit in more than six years, even more so because the two most pow- erful countries in the world were running out of time to come up with an arms con- trol agreement. Return of Hero Rocky IV seems to have brought the American Hero back to reality. Sylvester Stallone was ready to take on the world with guns, knives, gloves or bare knuckles, whether it be as Rocky or Ram bo. Irv Ivers, marketing president of MGM UA, said, America has always wanted a hero it can identify with. He also said, It was John Wayne. It is Sly Stallone.

Decorating the tirst place hall. Stephanie Barker and Rod Brooks hang streamers. Working together, the sophomores tape black and white paper to form a checker board wall. Help Make Spirit Week A Hit The entire week of Feb. 3-Feb. 7 was filled with ac- tivities because Miss School Spirit 1986 had arrived. The first day was jam day. Kids showed up in their long shorts and sunglasses ready to party on a beach in Cali- fornia. The next day was tie day. Students dug out their dad's most outrageous tie and wore it to school. Wednesday was pajama day. Mens' pajamas and fuzzy feet pajamas were some of the kinds that were worn. The next day was stuffed animal day. Every- one brought their favorite stuffed critter with them and hugged the day away. Fri- day was dress up day as usual for spirit week. The new activity for Miss School Spirit was a hall decorating contest. Every- day one could look out in the halls during any hour and see someone from some class working on their hall. The cheerleaders chose teachers to judge the halls. The juniors won first with their Plank the Pi- rates hall, the sophomores won second with Indians are in the Fast Lane hall and the freshmen won third with their Let's Party to a Victory” hall. Everyone worked very hard and it was a great suc- cess, said Cindy Black- wood, cheerleader. 19

U.S. Reacts To Terrorism Kaddah, Khadaly, Kadaty. No matter how the press spelled his name, the mere mention ol Muammar Kad- dali spelled terrorism. Enough is enough. So said President Reagan and Congress when a mili- tary air attack was carried out against Libya and its ter- rorizing leader, Muammar Kaddafi. American officials had irrefutable evidence that recent terrorism in West Germany as well as terror- ism directed at tourists was Libyan backed. England was the only Eu- ropean country that was in- tially supportive of U.S. ac- tion against Libya. Israel also backed the U.S. Celebrating the last out with a big hug is third baseman, George Brett and winning pitcher, Bret Saberhagen. AIDS Superstar Rock Hudson made headlines with his fa- tal illness, AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syn- drome). Knowledge of Hud- son's alternate lifestyle came as a shock to many of his longtime fans. The star's illness also raised much concern among actresses who had been in intimate scenes with him. Royals Take Series For the first time in the Kansas City Royals' history they clinched the World Se- ries title. No one expected the Royals to get to the play- offs because of their strug- gle throughout the season. In order to acquire this ti- tle they had to get by the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Playoffs. It took them seven games to accomplish the right to go to the World Series. Once there they seemed to have lost their sparkle. They were down three games to one to the St. Louis Cardinals. Much to everyone's surprise the Royals came back to tie the series at three games apiece. Leading the Royals was twenty-one year old Bret Saberhagen. This young pitcher was voted American League Cy Young award winner and also the World Series Most Valuable Play- er. In the final game George Brett came through with four hits along with Darryl Motley's homerun which started the eleven to zero shutout to capture the World Series title in the fi- nal game. Motley also made the final out in the seventh game by catching a fly ball. I think this was one of the most classic World Se- ries in the history of base- ball. The Royals came back from three games to one, to win the series. I've been a lifelong Royals fan and I'm happy they finally won the series, said Konrad Myr- ick, an avid Royals fan.
