Student Life co-workers, Charles and Ginelte. take a brief moment to display their bfilliar ce. This year’s Annual staff, consist¬ ing of thirteen seniors and seven un¬ derclassmen, took on the responsi¬ bility of completing a great year¬ book with the theme, “Where do we go from here?“ At the helm was fearless advisor, Len Taruscio, and his right hand man, this year ' s edi¬ tor, Dirk Muse. The staff was divid¬ ed into section editors: Sports, Diane Miklancic; Clubs, Stephanie Randall; Individuals, Shela Cates, This was a new idea developed to help organize the book better. The book was also one that maintained a theme throughout — something that has not been done for several years. The cover for this year was again done by Norman Adams, a national¬ ly known local artist. The staff wish¬ es to thank him very much. We have had to survive through some complications which arose, but we got it done. There are some new ideas and innovations in the book that we feel make it one of the best annuals ever at Wa Hi, We hope you enjoy reading this book as much as we enjoyed putting it to¬ gether.

1986 - 87 . . The rock pop music scene of the 86- ' 87 school year was one of great diveraity. Mainstream artists Ma¬ donna, Cyndi Lauper, and Huey Lewis proved that they were more than just ' one-hit wonders as they each Issued successful follow-up LP s. They were joined at the top of the charts by rock veterans Genesis, Tina Turner, Paul Simon, Bruce Springsteen, and Boston, The latter two acts produced two of the year s most heralded releases; Springsteen with his three album live set, and Boston with their long-awaited third LP, which spelled the end of their eight year hiatus. Another high point of the year was Peter Gabrieles emergence from his long-time cult status to the big-time, with his inno¬ vative album So 1986-87 also marked the arrival (finally) of MTV to Walla Walla. The music video channel exposed ua to many of the hot up-andcoming bands suc h as Glass Tiger, the Geor¬ gia Satellites, David David, the Smithereens, and REM, One of the main avenues for this exposure was 120 Minutes ' , one of the network ' s most popular shows, which played videos by bands like Husker Du, Love Rockets, Bolshoi, and Crowded House; bands which many say are playing the music of the fu¬ ture. Heavy Metal seemed to become even more popular during the year as new releases from Iron Maiden, Ratt, AC DC, and Deep Purple ad ded fuel to the fire. The hard-rocking style of music also witnessed David Lee Roth and Van Halen successful¬ ly going their separate ways, and the rising to the top of young bands such as Cinderella, Stryper, Queens- ryche, and Europe. The biggest suc¬ cess story of the year, however, was undoubtedly that of Bon JovL The personable quintet from New Jersey took their special brand of pop-met¬ al to the top of the charts all acroas the nation with their smash hit LP ‘ Slipp)ery When Wet. Another unexpected success this year was the inimitable sound of rap music. !n fact, the Kings of Rap ’ Run DMC, seemed surprised them¬ selves when their album Raising Hell became one of the biggest sell¬ ers of the year. And they were soon joined on the airwaves by the even more enigmatic noise of one of the strangest incarnationa to ever hit the turntable, the Beastie Boys. Ex¬ hibiting their raucoua anthem “Fight for your Right to Party ' they created one of this year ' s most memorable songs. Whatever your preference, you were sure to find your taste in music represented in the record shelves in 1986-87, a year that produced an exceptional amount of rock and roll. It will be interesting to see what lasts. Who knows, you may turn on your radio in twenty-five years and have your memories triggered as Ms. Jackson howls to you about her ‘‘Nasty Boys.
