Graffiti Day, 1975. Do you remember when miniskirts were the order of the day? Many of us think our styles are us, but, in reality, long dresses, faded blue jeans, and even platform shoes have been hailed by our mothers and fathers, or even our grandparents as “their” fashions. Of course, our generation adapted these styles, and, we like to think, chose only the best character- istics. Its a wheel within a wheel. The whole thing goes in cycles. A thirst for the good old days has even hit our politicians as they yell for the days of honor and integrity before Water- gate. Many of our students are singing M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E, because of reruns of Walt Disney’s famous club.

Where is your phone booth, Stanley? Superman NEVER changes in public. 3
