The nation as well as many Sprayberry students were shocked when they heard the news of John Lennon's brutal murder. Once again, the radio stations played historic Beatles music to remember the former vocalist for the group. A wave of euphoria swept through the state when the University of Georgia Bulldogs started to rise in the college football ratings. T-shirts, bumber stickers, and hats all pro- claimed support for the number one team. The Bulldogs charged into the Sugar Bowl and emerged as the top team in the country. Millions of Americans sighed a breath of relief and shed a tear of happiness when the fifty hostages were released. The hostages spent 444 days under the treats of Iranian militants following the religious revolution in Iran. Eight American servicemen gave their lives in attempt that failed to rescue the hostages. Also, the Canadian govern- ment risked their own people to secret six Americans out of Iran. 1981 saw two assassination at- tempts, one on newly-elected President Reagan and one on the Pope, and increased debate over handgun con- trol. The nation witnessed the exci- tement of a soap opera mystery and watched with the world the launching of a new decade in space with the space shuttle Columbia . The nation of lsreal attacked an Iraqi nuclear facility for suspicion of nuclear weapons produc- tion. These were just a few of the headlines that topped the papers of this climactic year.
