NHS FLASHBACK... 1994 SCHOOL YEAR
Were you at Northland in the 1994 school year? Thirty years ago, the US population was 260,289,237 people and the average life expectancy was 75.7 years. The median household income was $32,264 and the average new home cost $154,500. A gallon of gasoline was $1.11 to get to the local grocery store where it would cost you $2.88 for a gallon of milk, and $0.87 for a dozen eggs. To send a letter the cost was $0.29 for a first-class stamp.
At the Academy Awards, do you remember the movie that took six Oscars? Among them - Best Actor (Tom Hanks), Best Director (Robert Zemeckis), with producers Wendy Finerman, Steve Starkey and Steve Tish accepting the statue for Best Picture. Oh, it was also the top grossing film of the year too. It was all that, and a box of chocolates!
The top-rated television show was Seinfeld the show about nothing. The Emmy Award for best drama went to NYPD Blue. Kelsey Grammer (best comedy actor) and David Hyde Pierce (best comedy supporting actor) were on the same series that won the Best Comedy show award - Do you remember the show?
Album of the year was MTV Unplugged, Tony Bennett with Tony Bennett. Do you remember who won Record of the Year, Best Pop Female Vocal and Best New Artist in 1994? She sure had something to "Crow" about.
In the world of sports, the San Francisco 49ers won Super Bowl XXIX, the Houston Rockets won the NBA Championship, and the NY Rangers took the Stanley Cup (ending a 54-year drought). And who won the World Series? No one, the games were called due to the season ending player's strike.
