 N mENNS (DATELINE: NATIONAL NEWS) Through the course of 1985- 86, relations between LIBYA and the UNITED STATES grew increasingly strained. On December 27, fifteen peo- ple, including five AMERI- CANS, were butchered by PAL- ESTINIAN terrorists at the Rome and VIENNA airports. Criticized by PRESIDENT REAGAN for praising the terrorism and labeled flaky , LIBYAN leader MUAMAR KADAFFI responded by calling REAGAN a stinking, rotten crusader. As problems between the two countries increased, more name-call- ing and terrorists acts took place. The bombing of a disco in BERLIN, which killed an AMERICAN soldier, triggered a US attack on LIBYA'S strategic military points. Reagan rationalized that this attack was to prove the US wouldn't stand for any further terrorist attacks. Along with the terrorist tragedies in EUROPE by LIBYANS, the explosion of the space shuttle CHALLENGER was another AMERI- CAN castastrophe. Carrying seven crew members, including the first teacher, CHRISTA MCAULIFFE, the space shuttle crashed at about 11:39 a.m., only one minute and thirteen seconds after take-off. Work crews im- mediately began searching off the coast for pieces of the shuttle to give them clues as to the cause of the explosion. Investigations were made and it was discovered that the right rocket booster had a leak which caused a fire seconds after take-off. The fire then spread to all areas of the shuttle. About three months after the disaster, searchers recovered the ma- jority of the pieces along with the seven bodies of the crew. 26 -Academicd OrganizalionA What next?

on life’s little tragedies you wanted to play ' said 8th grader Shelly Johnson. I like the activity nights because you were with your friends and you could do almost anything you want- ed, said 7th grader Matthew Koutz. 1 especially liked playing in open gym. Another popular activity that was put on for only jr. high students was the dances. With the music of Cal Callison setting the tone, this is where most of the students fell in love with their future long-time girl boy- friends. Lastly, the most popular hang-out was the high school lobby and hall- ways during lunch time. This half hour was used wisely to gossip with friends, write letters to the person of their dreams, or see how much food they could sneak out of the cafeteria before getting caught. During lunch hour we always goof off and get in water fights, said 8th grader Melissa Beard. We must be pretty sneaky because we've never been caught yet. Even though jr. high years seemed to be spent mainly breaking and mak- ing new friends and finding your way out of trashcans, they will be years that twenty years from now you'll look back on and wish you could do again.
