Life begins at 3:10 As the 3:10 bell rang, your day at PHS ended. Finally it was time to go home and enjoy yourself. After school hours held a variety of activities for students. Some chose to remain at school for extra-curricular activities. For others, 3:10 simply meant the time to report to work in a restaurant such as McDonald's, a store in the mall, or any other of a variety of businesses in the area. Some students even found time to volunteer their services at local hos- pitals, to work for the Red Cross, or to assist with Scout programs. A great majority, though, headed home to do homework, watch TV, or just run around. When the 3:10 bell rang on Friday, however, plans changed. Friday was the night for a football or basketball game, a night to go out on a date or just to hang out at the park or at Pizza Place or 7-Eleven with friends. For most students, the best part of the day really began at 3:10 with after hour activities. t ln.

Imost an thing goes The halls of Parkersburg High School were filled with an array of students in almost any style of fash- ion. There were two words that de- scribed the fashion of today, any- thing goes. Today students wore whatever they felt like wearing. It was not only clothes that students wore, but hair- styles and shoes as well that were in the anything goes category. As you walked down a hall on your way to your next class you were likely to see people wearing an assortment of jean styles. These styles included ones that were one color in the front and another color in the back, ones that had pockets anywhere on them, and jeans in a variety of lengths. Not In an outfit from Fine's Men's Store, senior Kent Cutright takes a rest. fV ' Thu susan. only was denim as popular as ever in jeans, but you were likely to see girls in denim minis and both boys and girls in denim vests and jackets. The preppy look as well as students very nicely dressed remained popu- lar. Girls often wore skirts with blouses or nice pants and sweaters. Boys could be seen in sweaters and often an oxford with a tie. Other popular styles included the camou- flage look, the punk look, sweats, leather jackets, and anything neon. A common look in hairstyles was tails. Shoe styles also varied from vans to jazz shoes. The tennis shoe and pennyloafer, though, remained as popular as ever. 1 Fashion was different for each stu- dent.
