L Kissing Your SISTER 14 to 14 no time remain- ing. Tying any game is bad, but on homecoming — what a drag! It's just like kissing your sister, several fans remarked as they trudged out of Bearcat stadium. Vilonia shocked both team and fans by scoring first. Late in the second quarter they scored again lengthening their lead to 14 points. With 26 seconds left in the half the Cats fi- nally put together a scor- ing drive to go into the half 14 to 8. The Cats came back looking strong holding Vi- lonia to seven yards. How- ever, the offense didn't get rolling until 5:28 left in the fourth quarter when Barry Catlett scored on a four yard run. The extra point conversion was stopped short; then a last second field goal attempt failed. The game ended with the first homecoming tie in 25 years. The night was not with- out other hitches. Prior to the game, the queen and her court exhibited other worries. Queen Martha VanAllen didn't know un- til minutes before the cere- mony that she had to find her own cape. A few frantic phone calls produced one just in the knick of time. Martha said, I couldn't believe no one told me. 1 thought someone just showed up with it. Martha wasn't the only one in a frenzy. The maids worried about being es- corted across the field by anxious football players who might leave cleat marks on the hems of their dresses. Lori Day said, I was so afraid one of the guys was going to step on my dress; then I would fall flat on my face. Homecoming was a sen- timental time for some this year. This was Principal Pete Prewett's twentieth and final year to crown the queen in the homecoming coronation. This event was marked by his grand- daughter, Robin Prewett, serving as an attendant. Another memorable event was attendant Mi- chael Mueller's refusal to carry the queen's bouquet. When the bouquet was held out for him, he stuck his hands behind his back and rejected the flowers. This really made no differ- ence; the coronation pro- ceeded. By Lisa Lippard Senior high cheerleaders.

Remember when we used to drag out the old photo albums and spot our moms decked out in a min- iskirt? We all laughed, thinking they would never come back in style. Guess again. The long and the short of it is legs are in . A few hazards arise when mini skirts are worn. Tina Gar- rett commented, You can't bend over in them; and when sitting down, the slightest move is danger- ous. When girls aren't baring their legs with an 18-inch mini, they are covering them with a full-length skirt with an up-the-side, front, or back slit. Hazards also appear when long skirts are worn. One Sun- day, Heather Abbott wore a long jean skirt with a heaven-ward slit up the back. When she realized she was going to have to kneel for communion, she quickly went home. She re- called, Thanks to Kim Er- linger reminding me, I got out just in time. Skirts are not the only item that can go either way. Take hair, for in- stance. Flat-tops and burrs are two fads which have made a come-back. The flat-tops are gelled up, pro- ducing the wet look. Reed Dunn said, I saw flat-tops on some of the older kids and I thought it looked cool, so I decided to get one myself. Another example of the long and short can be seen in jean fashions. Some peo- ple roll jeans up to reveal colored socks, while others tuck jeans into bright yel- low or turquoise high-tops. In the past, jeans were just made in one color. Now jeans come in every shade from passionate pink to daring black. And who would have guessed five years ago, we would pay good money ($50 +) for destroyed jeans (holey ones)? In the end, though, mag- azines don't always dictate the fashion. As Ben Fuller put it, I dress to satisfy myself because I don't care what other people think about the way I dress. So no matter what the designer look happens to be, fashion is determined by the individual's creativ- ity and imagination. By Lisa Lippard. GOOD TIMES LAYOUT DESIGN HEATHER ABBOTT
