The summer of 1994 was ac-
tion-packed with many events that
will be remembered for years to
come. Many things happened in
the summer of 1994 around the
world that affected Elkhart Cen-
tral.
Baseball lovers at Central were
disappointed they could not enjoy
their favorite pastimes when pro-
fessional baseball players went
on strike. Senior Carrie Cloud
commented, “I think it was ri-
diculous. They get paid plenty of
money.” Others were disap-
pointed when former football leg-
end O.J. Simpson was put on trial
for the murders of his former
wife, Nicole Brown-Simpson and
Ron Goldman. “I don't think what
they are doing to him is fair.” said
senior Karen Larson, “I don't think
he did it, and they are making him
go through all of these trials.”
We also saw tension grow in
Haiti as troops were sent over to
help out. “Sending troops to Haiti
helped establish peace,” said
freshman Sam Phomsavanh.
And, for the first time ever,
World Cup Soccer took place in
the United States. “I’m not a big
soccer fan,” said freshman Davin
Kolderup, “but I liked what I saw.
I thought it was exciting.”
Some students saw the start of
the school year as a new begin-
ning. Seniors saw it as a last
chance to show their talents in a
high school level of education.
These events will be remembered
for an Extra, extra long time after
they leave as will the time that has
been spent at Elkhart Central.
