Fads Shoes are being noticed more this year. When I went shopping lor shoes I wanted some that didn't look like barges on my feet. I saw these clog like shoes with alot of padding inside and I decided to get them. The next morning I went to a breakfast with the Hornettes and more than half had the same ones on. We all looked at each and laughed till we had tears in our eyes. I still can't believe we all had them, but they are really great and I'm glad they caught on so fast. Mary Fuller (11) With the energy shortage hitting school and it being cold in class. I'm glad hooded sweaters are in style. It is really a good sweater, because if your ears start to turn blue all you have to do is pull up your hodd and tie the strings and instant hat.” Jane Cameron (9) Last spring everyone was getting their hair cut so I did too. It's so easy to take care of. The only thing is. this year the guys decided to cut theirs too. I like short hair on girls but some of the guys should have left theirs long. Martha Sieff (12) It seems this year the big thing to do for girls is needlepoint. It seems everytime you look, someone is doing a new one. I’m not sure the teachers like it that well though. It seems once you start in crafts class, you can't stop in your next class. Suzy Mork (11) Like 3 million other people. I got a down jacket vest for winter. Af first I wasn't sure how warm they would keep me. but now I wear it all the time. They are really great for hunting and fishing. Getting a down vest jacket is practical, they keep your arms free for other things Pete Engstrom (12) Patty Kelly conforms to this year's fads turtleneck, and a cozy sweater. wear.ng wa abe«. argyles.

During the Homecoming pepfest. Kim Degeberg jjVes . the Senior Women’s Varsity reject cheer. music of Lynn Thorvilson attempting to get close enough to receive a pass from a football player, bikes onto the field. Homecoming Being on court was really a good experience because I got to know people I really didn't know before and we really just had a lot of fun together. Sue Harmon (12) The look of complete surprise on Jim's face, the look of joy on Nicole’s face, the looks of pleasure and enjoyment on the entire court's faces, the look of bashful self-recognition on Jim Becker's face, the looks of complete delight and enjoyment on the faces of those cruising down the river, and the look of utter exhaustion and satisfaction on my husband's face proved to me that Homecoming 1974 captured the fun and enjoyment of the best times of our lives — those high school years. The student body seemed to be genuinely involved and having a good time. Mrs. Fredrickson (faculty) 'Homecoming would have been better if I didn’t have to drive eighty-five miles an hour just to get there before the boat shoved off. Bill Taney (12) We all knew we were better, but we all got together and decided to bow out gracefully. Court Rejects Being a freshman is hard enough, but when you try to do a skit and someone backs out, it really just makes it a lot worse. Phil Sieff (9) I was really surprised, but it sure was fun! The people on court were so fun. We had so many jokes and laughs. The dance was really super. It was one of the best nights I’ve ever had. It was funny because everyone’s mouth was sore from smiling for pictures, but looking at them now they were really worth it. I thought the whole week was great. I’d like to do the whole thing again.” Jim Ladner (12) ”1 think the boat was only going about two miles an hour. Phil Olson (12) The Homecoming dance was fun. except you were stuck on the boat for three hours and you either had to dance or you could engage m other top deck activities. Right Jim? Anonymous You know even with eating dinner and going on the boat and all. I still think the most fun was afterwards in the parking lot. Pete Engstrom(12) “I just kept worrying all through Homecoming if everything was going to go all right. When I got up on Saturday morning I didn’t think my idea about the dance on the boat was too hot. I heard the weatherman on the radio say it was supposed to snow.' Robb Peterson — General Chairman The pepfest was one of the best I've ever seen. I really enjoyed all the cuts, especially the ones aimed at some of my friends. Charlie Lick (12) After driving ninety miles an hour to get to Stillwater we missed the boat. We decided to go downtown to a movie. 1 felt dumb enough in a long dress, but then to top it off. I swear I could have started to cry when the opening scene of the movie was a boat.” Cindy Collins (11) The dance was great! All the girls in their long dresses and all the guys in their suits made it really a lot of fun. But you know there was this certain tie that caught my eye from across the room. Mar-gi Johnson (12) “I think the senior boys are just a bunch of rowdys. The Senior Girls What ever happened to Emerson. Lake, and Palmer? Anonymous Foul Weather Fails To Dampen Flomecoming Spirits

Mr. Smythe thought these were the hooded fire alarm vandals, but. lo and behold it is just another sweater craze. When teachers advise students to put their best foot forward many best feet are footed in Earth Shoes, advise or not. Fads Prove Styles Come And Go And Come. . .
