RAIN DRENCHED - The local council of the Blue Birds chirp their way down Main Street in an antique car. Rain doesn't dampen spiritsg classes share first prize We're not going to let a little bad weather ruin our parade, said Prin- cipal Art Douglas as the bottom fell out of the storm. One hour and two inches of rain later, homecoming parade par- ticipants and spectators began gathering next to Panther Field. After a few minutes of confusion, everyone was close to the correct place in line. With the exception of overheated car engines, wet socks, and muddy puddles, the homecoming parade went as scheduled. I think the homecoming parade turned out really well this year, said Greg Survil, student council presi- dent. lt turned out better than last year's, and it ran a lot smoother. Next year, we 're probably not going to have class floats. They're too much hassle and too much expense. Judges awarded first place to the Byrd Junior High drill team, second place to Redbird Skateland, and best entry to the band float. Because of the damage done by rain, each class float was awarded 5100. Duffers' float won most enthusiastic, and the annual-newspaper staffs won most original. Most colorful float was awarded to the German Club. CLASS OF '85 - Sophomores display the panther getting ready to go-pher-it. Homecoming 21

OCEAN PACIFIC - Scott Burman relaxes after lunch in the west campus cafeteria. 22 Fashions What's in style? The diverse personalities that make up a student body were reflected by fashions rang- ing from preppy to western to new wave. I dress up to make good impressions, said Brandy Kidwell. People should just stick with jeans, Don- nie Branch disagreed. You're only going to school. Everybody tells me that it must take a lot of guts to wear some of my clothes, said Laura Oswald, but it's what I feel comfortable in. If people want to laugh or stare, let them, because I'm laughing at them too. I wish that people who say they don't have enough nerve to wear bizarre clothes would at least try it. I really like the new wave syles, said Deb- by Blake, but I don't have enough nerve to wear them. HANGING OUT - Showing the latest styles, seniors John Schmidt and Stace Hunt model their black leather jackets.
