What's in in 1979? What are the” things to do, the places to be, and the styles to wear? Hartford is a place with many different ways of being in”. On Friday or Saturday nights one can deck out and go to a nice restaurant and eat or just bum around in town. If the town ride is chosen, most just ride around and around Dinky's and occasionally through town by the E Z Way. If that gets boring, a quick trip to Dothan can be taken to check out” the movies. Favorites like Grease , “Animal House”, and Hooper are usually on at one of the ten movie houses. If a date is not in order or one just desires to stay home, Saturday Night Live , The Midnight Special”, and Love Boat provide good entertainment. As the weekend passes and school must be attended, the decision of what to wear has to be made. Strait-legged blue jeans and large shirts, tee-shirts and jeans, or dress pants are what most wear. Tennis and track shoes are still around along with the new yo-yos and step in shoes. On cold winter days, boots help keep the feet warm. After school most GCHS students listen to WPFM or WIRB for the latest Top 40. Artists like Donna Summer, the Bee Gees, the Commodores, ARS, and Dolly Parton keep us singing through the day with songs like Champagne Jam , Paradise by the Dashboard Lights , Kiss You All Over , and Get Off . When afternoon turns to night and homework is done, the tube is on again. Programs such as Three's Company , Mork and Mindy , M A S H”, and Charlie's Angles always manage to offer entertainment with their superstars, Jacklyn Smith, Paul Michael Glaser, and Shaun Cassidy. Fads and fashions of 1979- our music, our styles, our ways- different, yes, but always ours. Motion picture soundtracks and live recordings are some of the most popular albums on the market. Senior girls wear tee-shirts proclaiming SENIORS DO IT BETTER .
