A time for heroes The International Summer Special Olympic Games were athletic events where everyone wins. On both sides of the field. On both sides of the score. It was an event where you do more than worry about the outcome or watch the clock. This event brought in some 4,500 Special Olympians from 60 countries and 50 states along with 10,000 fam- ily and friends. With the ages rang- ing from 10-80 years old, a minimum of 15,000 volunteers were needed. The Special Olympics was brought to South Bend through the vision and dedication of Bill Locke. His son Garry Locke was a Special Olympian who lit the torch for the opening cer- emonies saying, This one ' s for you dad. Bill Locke died before seeing this event come to South Bend, but his family celebrated all the victori- ous moments with their son. Celebrity supporters included Ar- nold Sch warzenegger, Opra Wrinfry, and Don Johnson in addition to the Kennedy and Sriver families. From Washington were the DECA group, and the cheerleaders who performed for the Sports Spectacular on Wednesday night. f Coach Ski registers Shawn Huffine to begin work at the Special Olympics.

The class of 88 real- ized this in their planning and managing of the 1987 prom. Mr. and Mrs. Swintz, the class sponsers, worked together with the class officers to start the prom off in the right direction. The offi- cers in turn guided the prom com- mittee. Decorations were put up the morning of the prom, May 1. Bal- loons and More provided the arch which the couples walked through and was also the background for the pictures taken by McDonald Studio. When the evening approached. the committee was rewarded as couples enjoyed themselves. The music of This End Up livened the concourse of the ACC where ev- eryone danced the night away. Re- freshments were provided by HERO which also helped with ca- tering. Then the moment everyone waited for. After all of the votes were counted, royalty was named.
