On the national and international scene, this has been a year to remember. President Carter established diplomatic relations with Chlna and continued the losing battle against inflation. But perhaps the biggest news item was the murderlsulcide of 911 members of the People's Temple In Jonestown, Guyana, which shocked and grieved the nation, as did the death of former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller. For the sports enthusiast, Pittsburgh became the flrst team to win the Super Bowl three times: Muhammed All regained the World Championship, Afflrmed won the Triple Crown: Wlllle Mays was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, and Woody Hayes of Ohlo was fired for hitting a Clemson player ln the Gator Bowl. In the entertainment field, Mork and Mlndy and Vegas were the most popular new TV shows, while Elght Is Enough, Soap, and Three's Company remain favorites. The top movies included SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, GREASE, and ANIMAL HOUSE. Again this year, Andy Gibb had the number 1 song, Shadow Danclng. Others with songs at the top of the chart were the Bee Gees, Linda Ronstadt, Donna Summer, Barry Manilow, Earth- Wlnd-and Fire, and Willie Nelson. Here on the local scene, some Interesting changes have taken place. The addition of a thlrd stop llght makes it impossible to make It through all three red lights without getting caught. And we no longer have to stop our tour of the town at the Kwlk Stop: why now we can circle around the Sonic before we restart the cycle. In addltion, we even have two new places to recreate. The clty repaired the old Wiggins Hlgh School tennis courts after both it and the old elementary school were demolished. Then there's the new park beside our school which consists of basketball and tennis courts and playground equipment. It even has the beginnings of a baseball field. Here at school, students campaigned for Thad Cochran or Maurice Dantln during the Senatorlal race to replace Senator Eastland, who retlred. Dantln took Stone County, but Cochran took the state. Mrs. Webb was selected as one of the top two biology teachers ln the state, and ETV has been added as a teaching ald. Student LlfelCurrent Events 43
