h won't you stay just a little bit long- er? Please, please, stay just a little bit more. Say you will! 'C lli l ' Oh, Chicken Littles, doo, doo, doo, doo, oh, Chicken Littlesl They look good, look good, taste fine, taste fine, only thirty nine cents, gotta have them all the time. Doowa diddy, diddy dum, diddy doo. 'Tm drinking up good vibrations. Sha la la la sha la la la la, Dipps, Dipps The above lyrics represent recent advertisements. Carl's Jr., Kentucky Fried Chicken, Sunkist, and Quak- er granola bars were only a few among many who used old songs from past decades to sell their products to the public. The so-called yuppie generation that grew up when these songs were popular was the buying group to whom marketing specialists were trying to appeal. This flashback didn't stop with advertisements. Clothes, music, movies, and food all seemed to reflect something from our past. Mini-skirts, bows, penny loafers, and big silver hoop X earrings made one wonder if the Eighties have any identity of their own. lt seemed that many popular songs on the radio were either direct remakes of older songs, or simply reflec- tions of the style and sound of those from an earlier time. Movies like La Bamba brought back to life the feel of a different era in America. I think it would be neat to live then, stated Tricia Crane, The cars were built better, too. Fifties cafes like Johnny Rockets and Fender- bender's served great food to students and people of all ages. The good old hamburger, fries, and shake be- came a standard meal. Gina Rector commented, lt's great, l hope it goes on like that. l love Fenderbenders. lt was a great culture. Whether people bought into the advertisers' strate- gy, or simply liked the styles, music, movies, and food, the Eighties certainly reflected the influences of time past. Patience McPherson assured that things would never be exactly like they were in the past by stating, Whatever happens, l'm not wearing bell bottoms! by Elizabeth Ahten fu. KQV!

I A ' fl '45 ,I 1 j, l T 15' , ' . 2 Seniors Q L mm, let's see. S40 dollars for the ASBf Yearbook combination, S10 dollars for gas, and S30 dollars for club dues. l'll have spent S80 dollars this week alone! Time to ask for a bigger allowance. Although this sounds a little exaggerated, students identified with this situation. Whether they had a job or counted on their parents' purse strings for money, stu- dents found that money was hard to hold. Even with the paycheck from their jobs, some peo- ple realized their money was disappearing faster than they could work for it. After taxes are taken out of my paycheck, l'm not left with much. l still have to pay for gas for my car, and I do like to go out on the weekends so l need spending money also, said Mike Orozco. Those students who had only an allowance to count for money also felt the pinch of expenses and the emp- tiness of the wallet. ln Kristy Kim's case, she handled all major expenses and still had money left over, bi not for long. My brother and his friends would find rr at snack or lunch and then he would get one of h friends to ask me for money. My brother used to as but l wouldn't give it to him, so now his friends ask. I'm living with my parents and don't have to wori about food or rent and l still never have enough mone What am I going to do when l go into the 'real world' ar have to buy my own food and pay for my apartmen l'll need a loan! exclaimed Mike Miller. Although h thoughts dealt with the future, such a worry we shared by most students. Money played a vital role in school. With the clt dues, need for food, dance tickets, car upkeep, and ar other school-related items, students found that the dc lar did not go very far. by Gloria TE nqunsunsvwn 'K -fy. i K .1459 t. f wesome I can eat lunch now! Although wallet are meant to contain money, students find them oftei empty. But as senior Ben Somera, juniors Briar Cortes, and Robby Ra vana attested, finding money in the wallet wa a happy surprise.
