 This hamburger may be big, but my mouth is bigger, junior, Greg Pearce seems to be saying between mouthfuls at Bulldog Haven. The Big Three Food, fashion, transportation Differences and likenesses in the more than 900 people who made up the student body was nowhere as evi- dent as in the clothes they wore, the cars they drove, and the food they ate. Alligators, stick waving men on horseback, horse heads, dragons, little feet, foxes. OK hand signals, and all the letters of the alphabet appeared everywhere in the halls and classrooms. ‘■Preppies’’ were not the only style that invaded the student body. The tradi- tional cowboys, better known as “kickers” or “goat ropers,” also wore their favorite styles which included wear- ing giant silver belt buckles, western shirts, Wrangler jeans, dirty old boots and the stylish straw or felt cowboy hat. Fashion conscious Junior Terri Woodson, looks chic in the new mini-skirt style being seen throughout the school. Cars or trucks were driven that matched the mode of dress of a par- ticular pupil. A few fortunate preppies had fancy sports cars to drive. For exam- ple, Kirk Hullender, senior, drove a Porsche, and Scott White, junior, chose a Corvette. “Kickers” Kelly Southall, junior, and sophomore Winifred Under- wood chose to drive rugged pick up trucks, to match their boots and jeans. Food never departed from anyone’s mind. For the hungry students, pizzas, hamburgers, chicken and burritos were digested. For those who chose more ex- travagant dishes, steaks and seafood were daintily devoured. A laugh Is shared between two friends, sophomores Rhonda Hill and Kim Halloway, over lunch at Bulldog Haven. Bubble gum Isn’t only for kids ... or Is It? Senior Jon Josey sinks his teeth In and blows a fair-sized bubble. Food Fashion Transportation 19

Bulldog Spirit Uncaged Long hours into the night, students from all three classes worked on costumes, skits and, most important, hall decorations. After working past midnight, some students still had homework to do for the next day. Rivalries between classes developed as competition heightened. One sophomore, while trying to “sneak-a- peek” at senior decorations, found himself with Senior '83 written across his face in blue magic marker. The big event for Monday was the choosing of “Mr. Irresistible. Taco Hoppe, senior, took first; Tony Johnson, senior, took second; and Darin Riggs, senior, and Steve Rincon, junior, tied for third. New Wave Day was Tuesday, and students came to school dressed in mini skirts, tight pants, leg warmers, silver hair and funky glasses. DEVO stole the show at the judging when they arrived in a canoe. DEVO was made up Mark Uyak, Joe Bourbois, and Russ Claiborne, all juniors. Donald High and James Bailey won first on Celebrity Day as Geraldine and Pearl Bailey. They entertained the au- dience with a yell for the Bulldogs. Animal skins, long wigs, and bare feet was the proper attire for Cave Man Day on Tuesday. As Adam and Eve, Carter Crow and Dena Wiginton came in first with the help of Donald High as narrator and Wade Brinkman as the Eisenhower snake. Coming as half-football player and half-cheerleader, Dena Wiginton took first place on Blue and White Day. Tying for first in hall decorations were the juniors and seniors, and the sophomores came in second. Even taping was an Important task when one considered the classes each had an hour to finish their hall. Kim Doughty, Ronl Steen and Julie Bonalewicz get together to get the junior hall completed on time. Spirit Week 21
