Echoes of Time 1984 The Echo Volume 39 Bland High School Bland, Virginia 24315

Page 6 text:

Echoes of Time Heartaches and concern filled the homes of Americans as mem- bers of their families and country went to Beirut on a mission for peace. Complications occurred as bombings were reported and deaths of some Americans. In the fashion world, anything goes! Various colored leg warm- ers were used to brighten up jeans. Designer jeans, including Chic, Jordache and Calvin Klein’s were in abundance with Levi’s and Wrangler’s favorites of both boys and girls. Small multi-colored neckties decorated shirts and blouses. Versions of the mini-dress and long sweat shirts known as “bun warmers” made the scene. Long loose tops capped “baggy” jeans or peg pants. The summer was a great time to get a suntan, or a sunburn, with the temperature reaching a record high of 105° F in August. December also hit a record with a low of -14° F. During 1983, re- cords were set for the wettest and driest weather we have had. A close race in the county elec- tions left many on the edge of their seats with some winning by as few as 44 votes. The school personnel altered little, adding two teachers and losing Mrs. Louise Bird to retire- ment. Two teachers tied the knot” — Mr. Gary Collins and Mrs. Beth Wessinger Cochran. Bland High made a very im- portant change in the commer- cial department with the addi- tion of three computers. The main building received a face lift during the summer of ’83. Students on a summer work program painted the trim (fac- ings and doors) a soft rust color.
