Club enjoyed volunteers help out Community sponsored dances often saved hundreds from a severe case of boredom. As all are aware, the entertainment for high school students is minimal in Sheridan, consisting of the show, cruising Main, and the roller skating rink. With help of volunteers, the rink was miraculously transformed into the hot spot of most students social lives-The Club. Numerous dances were held during the holiday seasons including a Halloween masquerade party and a New Year's bash with a virgin bar operated by chaperones provided by the Sheridan Rec District.

National affairs The 1987-88 school year was filled by a number of important events, ranging from international to local interests. The presidential campaign dominated the media for most of the year. Starting on February 8, candidates competed in various primaries and caucuses. Senator Bob Dole won the February 8 Iowa Republican caucuses, with 37%, followed by Reverend Pat Robertson at 25% and Vice-President Bush at 19%. Representative Jack Kemp was fourth with 13%, former Delaware Governor Pierre DuPont was at 6% and General A1 Haig finished at .5%. Bush, despite his poor third in Iowa, came back and captured the nomination a month later. Among Democrats, Missouri Representative Richard Gephardt won the Iowa caucus at 29%, followed by Senator Paul Simon at 27% and Governor Mike Dukakis at 25%. Reverend Jesse Jackson, Governor Bruce Babbit, Senator Al Gore, and former Senator Gary Hart (who reenter the race in December) trailed far behind. Dukakis also recovered from third place and captured his party's nomination by beating Reverend Jack-son by wide margins in late primaries. Also in the news, President Reagan refused to fire Attorney General Ed Meese, prompting charges of cronyism in the White House. A cease-fire was observed in Nicaragua and the Soviet Union pulled its troops out of Afghanistan after 8 years of occupation. The stock market crashed on October 19, wiping an estimated $500,000,000,000 in profits off the face of the Earth. A short recession followed but by January the market and the economy had bounced back. Also on October 19, President Reagan ordered strikes on Iranian oil platforms in the Persian Gulf. The long tanker war in the gulf continued throughout the winter until yet another Iranian attack forced U.S. retaliation again in April. Drug problems in the United States worsened as the Coast Guard formulated a new Zero Tolerance policy which justified the seizure of ships for even small offenses, including the famous Monkey Business. Drug problems also put the U.S. at odds with Panama's ruler General Manual Antonio Noriega. Charges were made that President and Mrs. Reagan were avid followers of astrology and use it often in making official decisions. The White House denied such allegations. 18 Current Events
