Glitter And Imagery The evening is gone, yet the memories remain forever. ‘Sharing the night together’ to the sounds of Mainstream, the junior class found themselves transported back in time to the Old South. Students found them- selves on the veranda of an old Southern plantation before winding their way down the main hall of the house to reach a garden. There they danced under 276 personalized glittering stars which they were allowed to keep aS a souvenir. Other highlights in- cluded a pool with goldfish and blue drapes behind the band. Making all these memor- ies possible were the members of the junior council and other volun- teers who helped during the approximately twenty hours of decorating and cleaning up. Junior class president, Kirby Pfeiffer, commented ‘| was very satisfied with the way things turned out. Most people seemed to be happy and had a good time.” Each junior had a star hanging from the ceiling. About half way through the prom all the juniors began looking for their star. Here Felicia Roberts, Charles Walton, and Annette Williams and her date reach for their stars. Taking a break from the dance, Marty Gee and Tim Green sit this one out in the student com- mons.

Looking Back At The Present Remember the clothes from the 60's? Maybe not, but they were back “in” again. Now it’s called the ‘‘preppy look’, and its bigger than ever. For the summer, styles shifted to Cheeno’s and Izod shirts of different hues to add contrast. Whimzee’s, also found in rainbow colors, brought a new touch to accessories. Wintertime brought oxford button-down Shirts, blazers, and plaid wool skirts. Ski coats and sleeveless jackets were also popular. One aspect of fashion has barely changed. Jeans. However, a break from the traditional jean was made. Designer jeans including Calvin Klein and Jordache gave usadressy look to almost any shirt. Personalization spread rapidly. Pocketbooks, sweaters, jewelry, and even jeans revealed monograms for everyone. Accessories added the “perfect touch.” Gros- grain ribbons tied into bows, and add-a-beads both added color dressed up that simple outfit. Beads including blue, brown, purple, and pearl were added along -f with charm holders. | Penny loafers, ‘‘deck shoes,’’ and Dexter offered a touch to the look. Also popular were poe the dressy cowboy boots with skirts and jeans. So ... whether preppy or traditional, there was a little old and a little Sy ‘ at hy Wy ageow l s o Jf 4 Ady oon oo 2 % 7 “Ly LTTE om - . eeeeeeeeeeee saesee i sta new.
