“Together” is a word that fits the TROJAN '80 organization section better than any oth- er. Striving together toward a goal is what makes a group work. Whether the THS organization is composed of state-champion journalists, community- minded workers, honored athletes, or stu- dents of agriculture, we know that these next few pages will prove one thing — the close- ness and hard work were well worth-while. But an organization means more than prizes and honor. The friendship and moral charac- ter that a group builds go with the student throughout his life. And so do the memories that go into that building.

Brings Changes In Fun, Fads, Fashion President Carter gave the teens of America something serious to think about when tense foreign relations prompted him to begin lobbying for the resumption of a peace-time draft. The question of drafting women was also raised. Although no decisions were made, an informal survey of eighty THS students and teachers revealed that Trojans had some very definite ideas on the subject. Sixty- five per cent of those surveyed were opposed to reinstatement of the draft. Trojans were also against drafting women.

Although THS students called inflation the number one problem the country is facing today, they managed to finance their enter- tainment with part-time jobs. The publication’s survey revealed nearly half the students were employed during the school year. Trojan movie-goers rated “Kramer vs. Kramer” as one of their favorite movies. The critics agreed, giving it an Academy Award for best picture. Steve Martin’s “The Jerk” was another smash at THS. “The Dukes of Hazzard,” “Benny Hill,” “Real People,” and “The Muppet Show” were popular television shows with the THS crowd. Whether on a car radio or an expensive stereo, music strongly influenced 1980 teens. Groups such as Pink Floyd, Blondie, and Styx dominated the charts. Dan Fogelberg, Barry Manilow, Dionne Warwick, and Kenny Rogers were single stars who made 1980 news.
