Gary Fugate receives his trophy for drafting from Mr. Larry Massey, principal of the Vocational School. Blue Collar Education: An Eye Toward The Future Often the students that attend vocational school are left out of many activities here at their home school. We forget that they are just as much a part of it all as those who attend full time. Vocational training is a growing trend among the youth of today. They have prepared themselves for the job market of today upon their completion of their high school careers. This type of training teaches them the job skills they will need. Blue collar workers, as they’re often referred to, are specialized in a trade. These workers make up a large majority of our population. It is with great pleasure that we honor these tradesmen in their specific skills. 26 Kathy Jackson receives a certificate for winning in the opening and clos- Ing ceremonies VICA contest. lI David Hicks receives his trophy for welding from Mr. Massey.

Is it for distinction, popularity, or because you really like it? Emblems have become a part of our life. This is the year of the trends. Just like the fifties were symbolized by bobbie socks, saddle ox- fords, greased hair, and white T-shirts, the eighties are becoming “‘labelized”’. Gloria Vanderbilt designed clothing, Izod and Lacoste, Levis, Nikes, Wranglers, Calvin Klein, and Pierre Cardin are found in almost every store. Is it really normal to pay $50.00 for a pair of signature jeans when you could have had plain jeans for $15.00? It seems as though we buy for names and labels. We h ave been accustomed to being attracted to and even look for labeled products. Could paying more for a dragon emblem be a psychological problem? Well, whatever the reason for this sudden trend, one name for the eighties will definitely be “the decade of the labels”. 25
