26 Fads ad the From Bandanas to Cabbage Patch to Concert Buttons ' The year of Elvis and the hula hoops. 1965 - The year of the Beatles and white vinyl go-go boots. 1984 - the year of- what? There really weren't any big fads at SGHS this year. This was the year that everyone sort of did their own thing and created their own fads. However, there were a few popular things this year. They were concert buttons and bandanas, Care bears, Cabbage Patch Kids, and of course, slang. A very big trend was words. Different groups of students came up with their own sayings and popular words. Some of these included lame, big time, and gnarly. Concert buttons became more and more popular with every big concert that came to Dallas. Some of the most popular ones were Journey, The Police, Alabama, and Quiet Riot. Although they weren't a really big thing at SGHS, the Cabbage Patch Kids were a hugh success not only in our area, but all over the country. On every radio station and every news broadcast, there was at least one story about Cabbage Patch Kids. These were dolls that came with adoption papers, ready and waiting to find a family. From concert buttons to cabbage patch dolls 1984 was definitely a year of doing your own thing. 66 99 o UO wife 1 AO f N N.. t,J..... .LJ ,M , 1.2 . f , ...,, . . ,,. .

Crisis In Lebanon It was an early Sunday morning in Lebanon the beginning of an October day, one that promised to draw record crowds to the country's beaches. It was that same seemingly perfect day that cost hundreds of U.S. Marines their lives. Most of the 200 were still in their cots asleep when suddenly, a truck, loaded with dynamite, crashed in to the building's lobby and exploded the structure, collapsing it in seconds. By that evening, the toll stood at 147 Marines dead, 60 wounded. Jesse Jackson: . . , Big in 84 After already seeing strong signs of growing political involvement in 1982, the turnout of Blacks, in both political registration and running, grew tremendously after the announcement of Jesse Jackson's candidacy for President in the 1984 election. He was the first black candidate for President ever in the United States. He also made a name for himself by negotiating the release of pilot Robert Goodman from the Syrian government.
