' E.T. and Vans cruise on through Blue Ridge by Kim Caster ll ast Times came to Blue Ridge High in 1983. Clothes, shoes, music, hairstyles, and vocabulary changed drastically. It was a year of reform for most of the student body. The most noticeable change was in clothes. Stripes and polka dots were on many of the shirts that the girls wore. Guys wore shirts made by OP and Lightning Bolt. A most comfor- table outfit was that a preppy with designer jeans topped by lzod shirts. Dressiness was also in . Shoes were another major reform. The traditional Nike tennis shoe lost some wearers to a California shoe called Vans. There was a wide varie- ty from purple and pink to checkers of any color. n Music this year also was greatly changed. New Wave and Punk made a debut at Blue Ridge causing many new groups to be popular. People such as Toni Basil, The Stray Cats, Adam Ant, The Scorpions, and Billy Squire were some of the more ap- preciated musicians. The new types of music caused changes in hairstyles. Girls were wearing their hair shorter as well as the guys. Cropped hair was popular among those dedicated to New Wave music. Not only were hairstyles changed by music, but slang vocabulary was indirectly affected by Valley Girl a song by Moon Unit and Frank Zappa. Phrases such as Barf me out and Gag me with a spoon were common on campus. Anything wonderful was Tubular and like . . . took the place of a, an, but, or and then. This vocabulary was most popular with the girls. Page 6. 1.
