A LOOK BACK'ON 88-89 Welcome to an- other exciting year of T.V., movies, elec- tions, music, and scandals that man- ages to grab the at- tention of E.H.S. stu- dents. To start the show off, we’ll examine the favorite after school time consumer. MTV continues to amaze us with what it claims to be “new and innova- tive music. DEF LEP- PARD, the years big- gest band,sent four of its releases to number one, but BON JOVI soon realized that they were falling be- hind so every radio station in America si- multaneously played “BAD MEDICINE ev- ery 10 minutes. REMOTE CON- TROL, starring Ken Ober, Collin and some girl Kairie or Marisol, graced the viewers with a twisted version of a game show. That was the edge that flipped MTV into the abyss with all the oth- er prime time rejects. What a shame, add- ing “Talk show and “game shows’’ to what used to repre- sent Rock and Re- bellion”. The cinema was less that “Cultured this year. A lot of mov- ies traveled through Elko but only the fa- vorite teen flicks re- mained for more than a week. TWINS, an- other Arnold Schwart- zenager flop, excuse me flick, remained along with a few oth- ers. The rest can be rented and seen at home for less than a movie ticket. U2 reached new heights when making a concert movie. I didn’t see it, I’m not sure if anyone else did either. Wait for the video. E.H.S. as well as the rest of the world watched in awe as an- other CHALLENGER DISCOVERY rocket was lifted into orbit by two giant booster rockets, which passed the efficiency and safety test with flying colors. The scandal sheet reports nothing in 89. Rooin Givens and Mike Tyson finally di- vided up the town houses and five cars which left Robin ou- traged with two and 1 2 cars. And what of the po- litical world? The four year cycle of cam- paigns, polls and po- litical promises is back. Voter polls, caucuses and that all 'important extra credit in Consumer Ed. if one was old enough to vote. I suppose more should be said about the candidates Mi- chael Dukakis and now president, George Bush ... but I wasn’t old enough to vote. Our illustrious leader, George Bush.” Arnold Shwartzenager and Danny DeVito star in TWINS.

 1989 breaks the tradi- tion of wasted, wiped out denim, designer labels and the ever nauseating Spuds McKenzie. In- stead EHS students fo- cus their attention on comfort, for which every- one knows, prevails style. We've basked in the glory of shorts and the warm weather of summer dragged us into the school year still wearing them. That was until the slight change in the weather and the admin- istrations patience. If 1989 was the year for anything, it was for shoes. What makes Fads and Fashions more of a fashion state- ment than the latest foot- wear. Ankle boots of all kinds, flat soled, wedge heels, Genuine Italian leather with delicate weaving and the made in Brazil logo stamped on the soul. Cowboy boots, fringed boots, black boots, white boots, suede boots, buckles and baubles and bangles. So much of it that people were entan- gled in the halls. Our cars weren't dis- cluded from all the maniz. Tinted windows were as popular as ever. Stickers and screens give our vehicles a cer- tain edge. Pebbles, Belinda Car- lisle and Charo were an influence on the female persuasion of EHS. Hair, short and long was to say the least, big. Bangs that in some cases could be measured a good four inches away from the scalp. In other cases like a bad case of the stom- ach flu. As every year, EHS is subject to the torture and fun of passing fads and styles. Heaven only knows what will be around next year. -Heidie Torrealday- Dawn Deter sports a wonderful Def Leppard T-Shirt, a fad or fashion? you be the judge. and Coke still rivals. 24
