One member of Jeririgg does this opening mime act to the ap- proval of the Capac students. He and two others performed for nearly two hours. Wait a minute!!! Didn’t anyone tell Chuckie to cheer while at a pep assembly. Brad Dawson and Bill Nabors are wondering what will happen next. During a first game of the year assembly, the boys varsity basket- ball team goes on the floor to be introduced to the students. The pep assembly worked that time, as the boys went on to win 60-52 against Algonac that night. Assemblies 11

Assemblies Are More Than Just Time Out of Class We don ' t have them as often as we would like to, and they could be a little longer sometimes. That ' s the way many people feel about assemblies. An opening game, Homecom- ing, or an important match dur- ing the season always bring around a pep assembly. The point is to get the teams in a positive, winning mood. Players are in- troduced and cheers are shouted, giving athletes the confidence they need to satisfy fans with a win. Pep rallies aren’t the only kind of assembly. Once in a while, a class will sponsor a group to come in and perform. This year, the seniors hired two groups from Oakland University. Hip- popotamus Sandwich put on a terrific musical and dance show for the elementary and middle schools on Tuesday, November 20. The next day Jeririgg per- formed their two —hour musical and mime show for the high school students. Both shows were a crowd participation favorite. The Christmas show, featuring the Capac High School concert band and other performers, helped to spread holiday cheer on that last day before vacation. Assemblies aren ' t always fun for everyone, but most of us here at Capac High really enjoy the break in routine and the chance to be a spirited audience. Elementary and middle schoolers were treated to the dance show entitled “Hip- popotamus Sandwich”. The crew of three dancers and a guitar player are shown here performing one of the several skits during the hour long show. 10 Assemblies

Students in Pursuit of Style The fads and fashions of the 1984-85 school year were reflec- tions of both the new and the old. Prep and punk were fashionable this year along with everybody’s favorite old stand-bys, sweats and tennis shoes. Every color and pattern imaginable were mixed and matched. Pin striped, checked, and solid striped jeans in all colors were popular among the fashion plates and trend setters of Capac High School. Dyed tennis shoes, solid colored flats and Reeboks were favorites of the girls, as well as ankle-high boots and docksiders. Big, baggy shirts, preppy sweaters, and punk shirts with cowls became all the rage. Fluorescents also found their way to Capac, in the forms of short socks and sweatshirts. Big colored earrings, traditional gold jewelry and iridescent pearls add- ed sparkle and splash to many outfits. Leather jackets, jean jackets and felt coats were seen making their way from the park- ing lot to the school. The guys went for thin ties, high tops, pointy-toed lace ups, and jeans. Docksiders, oxford cloth shirts, and crew neck sweaters made the grade for all those preppy guys out there. Ocean Pacific, alias OP, became a favorite of both boys and gals. Capac’s fashion scene, usually behind the times, picked up the pace and held on to it in 1985. -Pam Robbins Animal sweatshirts and big colorful beads were enormously popular in Capac High School. Reeboks, flats, and ankle-high boots had the reign of popularity in footwear in 1984 - 85 .
