Darlene Cody, Colleen O'Conner and Krista Kopp caught the head-band craze Leg-warmers were practical as well as stylish. Dare To Be Different Living well and lookinggood was a first priority for many high school students. From day one, many tried to create lasting impressions. Those daring to be different wore leg-warmers, miniskirts, friendship pins, duck shoes and punk-rock glasses. Ruffles, laces and ribbons returned with the prairie-look as girls tried to flaunt their femininity. Long hair became a thing of the past and was replaced with short, curly and sassy locks. Many of the guys became noticeably more fashion conscious. Several could be seen wearing designer shirts and jeans when they finally gave in to the designer craze. According to the annual staff survey a perfect evening would entail a male accompanying his date to Champaign in a Z28 for pizza at Garcia’s and a viewing of the movie, “Porkey’s.” Those who didn’t have a date, couldn’t find a date, weren’t allowed to date or were too cheap to date could be found hanging out at Pizza Man. After school, many students used their leisure hours practicing football and basketball. Others perferred to study lessons assigned to them by their favorite teacher, Mr. Wingle. A few found that reading the daily mishaps of Garfield was a good form of relaxation. Living well and looking good was the philosophy of most kids.

Student Council voted for the theme Sailing because it was easy to work with. That was only the first step in making spirit week successful. In order to make spirit week a success they had to order decorations, get props, line up cars for the candidates and organize the parade. Stu- dent Council was also responsible for the changing of the parade route.
