r - -Almost Paradise- Cheerleaders host annual Turnabout The spirit of the holiday season came alive and was captured for one evening as 100 couples danced to the mu¬ sic of Dougal on Saturday, De¬ cember 15, at the annual Turn¬ about Dance. The brightly colored Christ¬ mas ornaments contrasted with the dimly lit cafeteria. Four Christmas trees and their lights adorned the room. A mirrored ball hung from the ceiling above the dance floor. The lights reflecting from the ball danced around the room leaving the impression of snow falling on the trees. Turnabout was sponsored by the Crown Point High School cheerleaders as a fund raiser. Taft’s eighth grade cheerleaders also assisted them in decorating, baking cookies, serving refreshments, and choosing the entertain¬ ment. The band Dougal, made up of CPHS students Andy Britt, Matt Patterson, and Nick Trinoskey, and Dave Hetrick, set the mood for the evening with their music. The cheerleaders tempted the appetites of the many dancers as they served a large assortment of Christmas cook¬ ies. Fruit punch was available to quench the thirst of the many people who attended the dance. Turnabout queen and class princesses were chosen lottery style. Names were placed in boxes according to grades and chosen by a cheerleader who drew one card. Senior Paul Heiser and junior Jeannine Punak share a dance at the 1985 Turn¬ about Dance. Senior Julie Platt was named 1984 Turnabout Queen. The Queen’s court consists of freshman Jodi Stemler and her escort Brad Lambert; junior Kristi Willard and her escort Tom Darnell; Ju¬ lie and her escort Rick Caldwell; and sophomore Tammy Boggcss and escort Jim Vagenas. Matt Patterson and Andy Britt, mem¬ bers of Dougal, play their guitars for the dance. 12 Turnabout

There is no doubt about it as far as this year’s fashions are considered. Each group had its own look, and that look was a trademark. There were the preppies, new wave, and Forenza, but what¬ ever the style, colors and pat¬ terns were really hot. The preppies wore the usual boat-shoes, oxfords, pull-overs, and baggies. This is a casual style worn by almost everyone between the days of newer fash¬ ions. Preppie was also a very classic way to dress for a special occasion or just when the mood hit to get decked-out. An argyle sweater and oxford, dress pants or baggie cords, and a pair of slip on flats or pumps looked nice accentd by a string of pearls or a gold chain. For the guys, penny loafers, cords, and an oxford went smartly with a matching pull-over sweater. The new wave look consisted of just about anything ripped, worn, or painted until it was un¬ recognizable. Girls wore sweat¬ shirts with baggy or cropped jeans, lace hose, and any and all jewelry available. Hair was dyed in a variety of ways, and cut in many terraces in the back, very short on the sides, and long in the front. The biggest new trend to hit the school was an out-branch of the new-wave. When the For¬ enza line of clothes hit, Crown Point got a whole new look. Stone washed denim jeans tucked into quarter-boots were not complete without a big For¬ enza sweater. Large beaded necklaces, with matching dan¬ gling, earrings completed the outfit. Fashion went through many changes during the year, but the students kept up with them. 14 Fashion
