Yo Ho Queen's Life For Gayle Ladies and Gentlemen, your 1981 Homecoming queen is, . .Gayle Chambers. These words were met with roars of approval and a standing ovation just prior to the Jordan game. The court cruised in on specdboats lent by Lee Daniels and Don Mar- mion. The royal court was then marooned on a tiny tropical island from where they watched the Rams triumph over the Panthers, 21-15. Commenting on her feelings upon hearing her name, Gayle said, 'KAN l could think was 'no way'. She added, lt was a special moment because I felt that God had a reason in allowing me to receive this honor from my peers.

I As the rest of the country went conservative through Reaganomics and the Moral Majority, the little world of Millikan did its own thing. From being a prepperf' like Sue Lawson, Steve Sloan, and Jennifer Spier, to joining the new wave, like Mike Carlson, and Julie Miller, '82 was the year to be one's self. From the dressier solid colored shirts of the preppy, to the mini skirts and trench coats of the new wave, anything that covered the body, or at least part of it, was in. As the Rolling Stones rolled into town in Octo- ber, so did their concert T-shirts, with concert T- shirts and Levi's becoming the craze. During lunch period, one could look out to see a wave of black and white jerseys, each the proof that it's owner had been to the concerts of the Go-Gos, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, and Pat Benatar. The drab, smelly tennis shoe took on a new look, not because of some new aerodynamic, futuristic design, but by changing a little piece of string called a shoelace. No longer were white-grey tradi- A-in-.,,.,,,. SAVE THE ALLIGKISOR ...EATA tional laces acceptable. Festive designs reigned- -hearts, stars, rainbowsg name it, and the shoelace had it. Kids in kindergarten could cheat on their alphabet tests just by looking at their shoes.
