[Photo by Louis Lombardino] Along with studies, work and the other ho hum things associated with the school year students found time to enjoy many activities and create new crazes. With the new, old crazes began to fade while some just hung in there. Fashions (as always), home computers and physical fitness exploded onto the scene. Tiffany Rawlings (11) explained, “Nobody would’ve worn mini-skirts last year, people are doing their own thing.” Last year’s fashions, digital watches and Izod all just became everyday things. Sony Walkmans, small calculators and sweats, fads from the past all still were pres- ent. Cruising gave way to new hangouts and dates. Rollerskat- ing faded while movies flourished. “People just don’t have the money to waste on gas so they go somewhere and talk or go see a movie.” stated Jerry Dammer (10). In the T.V. world “Don’t touch that dial!” took on a new meaning for now cable offered 32 channels to choose from. Most notable, M-T.V., a cable rock-video station, took on a cult following. “I like M-T.V. because you can see and hear new groups.” replied Wayne Janzen (12). All in all everybody was creating and doing exciting things, Center students definitely were Students in Action who were Dealing with Change. 8 Design by Bryan Frischer

Whether you were a guy or a girl, there was only one new, hot way to wear your hair - short in front and on the top, and long in back. In other words, PUNK! Rachelle Carter (10) opted for this style because she “wanted to be different.” If you wanted to be really different, you might have grown a rat’s tail or a fool’s tail in back. This was a thin strip of hair growing down the back of the neck, sometimes woven into a tiny braid. It appeared more often on males, although Leah Fraizer (11) displayed her “spur of the moment decision” prominently, too. Moving down to the ears, large geometric earrings were still considered hot for the ladies, but the real ear news came (continued on page 12) Blowing a bubble while studying Is Marybeth Trltt (11).
