The most fun times are decorating the window with the senior count- down or going to the junior- senior prom. Contents Fads ..................... Teachers’ Aides .......... Jobs .....................

6 Fads Student trends differ As the 1981-1982 school year came and went, so did various fads at EHS. They included everything from tops to bottoms, to entertainment. One of the popular fads that came in during the calendar year of 1981 were jerseys with a particular rock group insignia on them. Such groups included Air Supply, Foreigner, Ozzy Osbourne, Hall and Oats, Journey, and J. Geils. This year, though, the fad expanded with students’ names on them, or different college logos printed on them. As far as clothing, a new market was seen in the halls of EHS. Knick- ers came in tentatively, but were in full swing by the end of the school year. Pac Man and Space Invaders video games ruled with tight fingers this year at Ellinwood High. Several tournaments were sponsored by local merchants and were heavily attend- ed. That frustrating little block of plastic, bitterly known as the Ru- bik’s Cube, came early in the year and faded out toward the end, being replaced by “The Snake,” “The Tri- angle,” and such. These terrifying cubes sharpened everybody’s wit and shortened their nerves. These were a few fads that gave the halls of EHS a little more charac- ter.
