Oiar ir limes Let s Talk All ready to go in her casual Gitano outfit, ju¬ nior Angie Hall makes arrangements for her night out over the phone. Whether it was a change of seasons or just hours, there was a change of clothes for everything. It became a major decision every morning: would it be a classy wool skirt and a nice blouse? dress pants, shirt, and tie? rugby shirt and Levi ' s? Or would be something really comfortable, like those famous Hike sweats? Whatever the decision, it had to be stylish, now, and you. To show all the latest trends that appeared in nearby stores and there¬ fore in classrooms and halls, DECA members organized the second annu¬ al fashion show. The show took the audience through the phases of a typical day, showingjust the right out¬ fit for every occasion. It was great to help organize the fashion show for DECA and to audi¬ tion the models we chose, said se¬ nior DECA member, Cindy Shugart. Models had auditioned weeks be¬ fore and had spent what seemed to be ages practicing walking gracefully up and down the stage every day after school. In addition to the models, the DECA members also spent afternoons working on the backdrop, displaying the theme with many different kinds of timepieces. Effort was also put into getting sponsors to donate outfits for the models to wear. Several stores in Potomac Mills were represented, as were other neighborhood shops. For their donations, the stores were rec¬ ognized by the emcees when they named the models and described their outfits. All the hard work done by DECA members and models alike paid off when, during Activity Period on Tuesday, December 8, students who had passes were admitted to the auditorium to see the show, Rock Around the Clock. In Charge Senior Penny Morris and junior Kirstin Walsh led the ceremonies with their descriptions of the out¬ fits being worn. Kirstin who has done some model¬ ing got a chance to demonstrate her knowledge of fashion. Fashion Show 23

For You Delivering Val-o-grams for the Junior Class, Ke¬ vin Phoenix makes every recipient ' s day. The money the juniors raised went toward Prom. Over There Decorating the cafeteria for the first Morp dance ever were members of the SCA Board, sopho¬ more Tracy Jarvis and senior Debbie Jarvis. Beating The Blahs Booooring. It was cold outside, so we couldn ' t rely on summer pastimes to chase away the blahs. Cruising around with the windows down and the stereo blasting just didn ' t cut it in thirty degree weather. The SCA decided to battle. Our Win¬ ter Festival, complete with dress-up days, was planned for the week of February 8 through 12. End-of-the- week festivities included a pep rally, which featured a six-minute senior- faculty basketball game, and a Morp. Morp--prom spelled backwards-was a new concept for Potomac. Basically, it was exactly backwards to the big May event. Girls asked guys for dates, or people just went stag ' ' or with a group of friends. Couples were also encouraged to dress as much alike as possible and they could pretend to be married for the evening. Most impor¬ tantly, dinner was at McDonald ' s, and there was no formalwear allowed. Sharing the week with Winter Festival was Valentines Day. As always Val-o- grams were sent out on Friday, Febru¬ ary 12. Try as the SCA might, they couldn ' t raise as much spirit as they did during Homecoming. Although posters ad¬ vertising Morp plastered the halls and announcements about dress-up days were heard daily, no one seemed real¬ ly aware of what was going on until a few students braved the cold in shorts for Beach Day. Signs of spring weren ' t far in com¬ ing. The Science Fair exploded into the library on February 24 when stu¬ dents dragged in their projects and set them up for display. The Mr. Poto¬ mac Pageant and the Foreign Lan¬ guage Festival were just around the corner, too. I hate winter because everything is so dead and confined indoors. So I just sit through the winter and wait for spring to come ' said senior Joely Hebert.
