What’s In, What’s Out What was going to be in or out this year? Everybody asked them¬ selves this question be¬ fore the start of school. However, as in each new year, there was a change in style that we all had to live up to. Everybody had his own taste in fashions. Some people liked blue- jeans and a concert T- shirt, while others liked the long ankle-length skirts. Everywhere, fashions were different, but the styles were alike. This year we were introduced to leather treetorns and stirrup pants. Plaid wool skirts or pants came along during those cold win¬ ter months. Paisly pants or shirts were a familiar scene around the halls of Byrd. Guys were seen in the still popular Ox¬ fords with their shirt tails hanging out (when teachers weren’t look¬ ing). Jeans were seen on guys as much as they were on girls. However, clothes were not the only thing that made the style. New and unusual hair¬ styles “cut” their way into C.E. Byrd. The A- symmetrical cut was popular, as was a tiny braid on the side. Many people were still seen with the classic bob, while others cut it all off (or at least half-way). Guys had a variety of cuts from long, dyed tails to short, layered shaves. Just as much fashion was walking around Byrd as anywhere else. There were always those times when one was unsure of what look to project, but, overall, Jackets upheld their fashion image with STYLE! LOOK AT ME- Junior Marga¬ ret Ponder held a checkered shirt up to her to see if it was right for her style. FITTING THE RIGHT GUY- Holly Fish helped Lee Bowen find the right sweator. CHIN UP- Michelle Murrey and Jennifer Mullins show their flashy hairstyles. 18 Student Life

Rockin’ Around The Clock At DANCES Whether it was the dream date or the one who never showed up, the right dress tux or the wrong one, dances were still some of the most memorable events at Byrd. No one can ever forget the anticipa¬ tion and excitement each one of these spe¬ cial occasions seemed to bring. There was al¬ ways some dance or party to attend, but a few were more impor¬ tant than others. Homecoming was the highlight of every foot¬ ball season. Whether we won the game or not, dressing up and “danc¬ ing the night away” was still fun. Girls donned taffeta, satin, and silk semi-formals, and the guys wore sportscoats or suits. “Going to the dance itself was O.K., but the big spirit cor¬ sage I got made me the happiest,” confessed Ju¬ lie Tidovsky. Sponsored by the “Z” coub, Sadie Hawkins was the chance for girls to ask their favorite guy out, and foot the bill. Ja¬ mie Gardner stated, “Getting ready-buying shirts, setting up-al- ways seemed a lot of fun, until I got to the dance itself.” The dance everyone wanted an invitation to was The Prom. It was held on the River Rose on March 25. The dress was formal, and a mood of romance was in the air. Although each dance won’t be remembered, the special times will DECISIONS- Jamie Gardner couldn’t decide which shirt to buy for Sadie Hawkins — pink or white. MOVIN’ SLOW- Couples got AREN’T I HANDSOME!?!- close for the slow songs at the Truett Chow tried on tuxes to GUSHER “Party-All-the- wear to the Prom. Time Dance.” 20 GUSHER
