Where was the country headed? The state? Braintree? As locals celebrated the defeat ofa plan to site a hazardous waste incineratorin town, Braintree’sfortuneswere bouncing back. But with thestate in recession and local aid curtailed, roundsofbudget cuts sliced programs and caused pain in the schools. Staffand students pulled togethertomakethe bestofatough situation. Wamps weren't quitters. On the national scene families despaired as their sons and daughters headed forthe Gulf. The nation and Braintree endured war. Iraq’s takeover of oil-rich Kuwait turned into a long, hot struggle. The U.S.,joined by England, France and most ofthe rest of the world, backed tiny Kuwait, while former friend Jordan hooked up with Iraq. Allies numbered 3/4 million troops. Sorties occured at a rate of one per minute. Scud became a well-under- stood phrase The peace movement was reborn. . Students felt the crunch as oil prices spiked gas prices to $1.65 before settling back down as warjitters eased, (continued) IPnftcelhnnnig Kim Michelle Sullivan, Stacey Payzant, Shelley North and KerriJohnsondotheirbesttotransformthegyminto amagicalenvironmentfortheJuniorProm,aNightin Heaven.

In Braintree, citizens continued to fight their own war, as the protests for the opening of Braintree’s toxic waste incinerator continued. Finally, the protesting paid off. The incinerator was voted down in late September. Residentsall breathedadeep sigh of relief. > Braintree was set to bounce back and retool as superintendent Dr. John Monbouquette and assistant superintendent Mr. H. Kenneth Dooley announced their retirements. Students encountered a year full ofchanges in their lifestyles as well. Pepsi’s overrated Cool Cans campaign wasn’t as suc- cessful as hoped, but fared better than the ill-fated Coke MagiCans, whose winning containers were filled with chlorin- ated water. This didn’t turn offkids from snacking as Jumpin’ Jack Dorito’s and Smartfood were as popular as ever. Neon was still big, and men’s hairstyles were more daring than before. But kids didn't have as much money to spend. The recession made jobs hard to find. Kids Just didn’t have much cash to spare for all the goodies that had come so easily in l^Mtoir wip the past.
