The days of rolling , although still in, were hardly remembered as fun loving students turned to signing , late night real estate sign moving, for pranks. lt's a good trick to play on a friend late at night when Smyrna has nothing else to offer, explained Allen Roberts. In the merchandise arena, Cabbage Patch Kids and animal slippers were big Christmas items. The walls of Davison's and Pich's were filled with soft, hugable, alligators, reindeer, and elephants that doubled as bedroom slippers. They're comfortable and cute. l love them. Ele- phants are my favorite, exclaimed Cathy Marlow. Cabbage Patch Kids, Coleco's Little People look alike, caused riots to break out in many shopping centers across the nation. The soft sculptured dolls were sold at about 5525 a head. Marnie Harper was appauled by their popularity, They're stupid and a waste of money. Still, millions of the dolls were sold.

Music television showed rock favorites like The Police, Yes, Journey, Michael Jackson, and Berlin act- ing out their music. Entertainment during network commercials, said Eric Hall when asked why he watched M. T M An- gie Tanner exclaimed, We watch it for Bryan Adams. Other fads included balloon messages, plastic Wacky Wall Walkers, flavored popcorn, Efruiti Bears, high-top sneakers, 'jellies , and the desire to be a coffee achiever. What ever the fad was, everyone would have to wait till next year to find out if it were just another fad or a contemporary classic. WHA 7 S iN On the dunking goal in the new gym, Todd Baird slams one in over the bent rim. The friendship pin goes on any shoe from a Pro- Ked to a Wallabee.
