FREEZE FRAME t was short and sweet. The candidates hurried out into place, as Andrea Tracy was escorted onto the court by Chris HoUingshead and Mark Mattern. They wove back and forth between the candidates finally stopping behind Kim Hettsmansperger and Keith Shepherd. Andrea crowned Kim and then hugged her. and Chris hugged Keith. Everyone rushed off the court which brought the short ceremony to a close. The game, on the other hand, was full of suspense and energy. With two minutes left in the game the score was 67 to 70, Northfield leading. Wabash was leading for most of the first half, but in the se- cond half the lead changed hands with nearly every shot. Keith Shepherd drew a two-shot foul and sunk both baskets to bring Wabash within one point. Northfield scored again to stretch their lead back to three points, but Mark Mattern came back with a fifteen foot jumper to bring the score to 71 to 72, Northfield. The clock ticked away rapidly as the tension mounted on court as well as off. Eighteen seconds remained on the clock and Wabash had possession. With seven seconds left. Marc Slaton put one up from the corner of the free throw line, a shot he had made several times earlier in the game, but failed to hit this time. Tom Dempsey rebounded and fired from fifteen feet. The final score was Wabash 73. Northfield 72. But was that the final score? Northfield did not think so. Even though the clock ran down, the referee said they had called time out with ' ' ■ two seconds left. Two seconds were put back on the clock and Northfield had possession. The ball sailed down court and the offender turned and shot from just under the basket, but the offender had stepped out of bounds with no time left on the clock. Yes, the score was final, Wabash 73, Northfield 72. EMOTIONS IN MOTION.

At the other end of the scale, their conservative counterparts, the prep- pies, strolled down the halls decked out in tartan plaid pants, letter sweaters, button-down collars, penny loafers, and oversized shaker nit sweaters and sweatshirts topped by loose-fitting belts. The sudden surge of ultra-feminine attire may have been inspired by Princess Diana, who has almost single-handedly revitalized the British fashion industry. Her Royal Highness may also have inspired the pastel and lace hose worn with flat shoes. The usual fall and winter hues of brown, navy, rust, and teal were nearly replaced in the halls with yummy-looking amies in pastel ice cream colors. Lace was the dominant Not to be overlooked in WHS fashion circle were the Joe and Joanna Averages who dressed in the tradi- tional teenage garb. Tennis shoes, t- shirts (esp. concert t-shirts and baseball t-shirts), and sweatshirts con- tinued to be the mainstays of many a wardrobe. Jeans, the essential item for any high school student, took on new meaning. Some jeans were blue on the front side but black or gray on the back side. Some had stripes or color on just one part. It was also cool to have a hole or two ripped in the knee. Blue jeans, which have long been popular, seemed to be reinforced by the AU- American rock star Bruce Springsteen, who prefers Ail-American Levis. Jean jackets, also worn by Springsteen, top- ped the All-American look. While it is true that many students dress in a particular style, it is not quite fair to put them in categories. Fashions are fun, and they certainly can give clues to someone ' s personali- ty. However, there are so many dif- ferent sides to an individual ' s per- sonality, some of which may not be seen by the masses. So feel free to dress like Bob Dylan on Monday and Vince Neil of Motley Crue on Friday. They ' ll never quite know whether to expect you to attend a peace rally or a heavy metal concert!
