In 1977 was the year for anything. Walk- ing down the halls, you could almost believe you were at a fashion show. On an average day, you could see jeans, T-shirts, gauchos, skirts, jumpsuits . . . anything. And the shoes . . well, there were all kinds . . from thongs, boots, platforms, and Dr. Scholls for the gals, to tennis shoes, and Wal-a-bees for the guys, This year was the year of Farrah Fawcett-Majors, the blonde star of Charlie ' s Angels. About one-third of the male population had a Farrah T-shirt. Speaking of T-shirts, this year they were printed with all types of slogans from Available and sexy , to having beer and wine advertisements on them. Another favorite T shirt had Tequila Sun- rise printed on it. When summer came in and school was almost at its end, the season for bare skin came in, too. You never saw so many legs or bare shoulders in your life. The girls showed up for school in halters, tube tops and tank tops to beat the heat. The guys came in shorts and tank tops. With no air conditioning in school, these clothes helped a lot. How can we forget jewelry? Flowers and feathers were popular this year. You found them on necklaces, belts and on combs to put in your hair. All in al|i, ' 77 was a year for anything and everything. All you had to do was Farrah — Pickle OitI is right in with all the guys ' favorite gal as he is shown in his Farrah Fawcett-Majors T-shirt and jeans.

There are many things in life and school that people take for granted. It is these little things that make life worth living and school so interesting. These items are so common placed that we just overlook them, but if it weren ' t for them life would be total Boredom. Before you walk in a room you first have to open a big piece of wood. This thing keeps you from giving in, so you turn the little knob and a small push is required. At this school we have 148 of these pieces of wood. Have you ever walked down the hhll, and heard Mr. Trumbo ' s famous Ha Hum, Can you hear me? over an intercon speaker? Well, there are 55 other speakers carrying the same announce- ment, for all to hear. Every morning students have to gather enough energy to walk up the dreadful steps. To us it is a death walk, but did anyone know that there are 302 steps throughout the school. i ' -.; ’ ' C You walk down the hall and suddenly realize that you are t ambling across a barren desert; you sight on of the ' 32 white porcelain oases and, to your dis- may, discover that you ' ve chosen one of the 14 that don’t work. % ' You ' re running up the steps and down the hall to make it to class. But as you round that last turn the faithful bell rings. You ' re tardy, but don ' t feel too bad there are 27 bells that catch others during the day also. u 16 TRIVIA
