Fans revel in joy of winning The biggest difference be- (i U , fr tween a regular season basket- “er . ay . soo aoe ball game and a tournament 3 ya game is the crowd. The crowd, ; ia Pass os who during the season came to be with friends, to socialize, to hunt down the opposite sex, or just to get out of the house, is now intensified at least ten times into an ardent group of fans and supporters. The whole cheering, noisy crowd is in the game—it’s no longer competition among only ten people. The crowd sweats, feels anger, feels pain and gets frustrated when the team has trouble on the court. They yell, they bite their nails, stomp their feet and scream at their least favorite referee. Such was the crowd at the 1983-84 Garrett Sectional. Ev- eryone had become so in- volved, that when the Rail- roaders won their first sectional title in 12 years, each person felt a small amount of personal responsibility for the win. The magic of winning was not only captured in the happiness of the exhausted team, but also in the joy of the participating crowd. TOP—After the Railroaders win the sectional, Wesley Warstler is the first to cut part of the net. CENTER—Coach Denny Feagler sig- nals his team on the floor during sec- tional action. RIGHT—Garrett bench officials care: fully watch sectional play and at the same time perform their duties. 18 Winning

Fashion finds GHS open to suggestions in 84 Fickle. Unpredictable. Outra- geous. Yes, fashion. Fashion—a word that strikes terror in the hearts of budget- watchers and excitement in the souls of trend-setters. High schools fall prey to many fash- ions, some daring, some clas- sic, some downright comic. Nevertheless, the halls were ablaze with color, originality, and a lot of amazed whispering (‘Did you see what she’s wear- ing?’’) at GHS in 1984. In the winter, students snug: gled into argyle sweaters and layers of sweatshirts to keep ABOVE—Junior Veronica Erwin mod- els a sweatshirt with Japanese lettering as she perches above lockers. RIGHT—Posing for the photographer are Mike Vojtkofsky in a lightweight jacket and a sweatshirt, Kacy Shafer with the Flashdance look, and Molly Wappes as preppy as can be in layered polo shirts with the collars up. FAR RIGHT—Lynn Kobiela laughs un- suspectingly as she, her fashionable earrings, and her pin-stripe jeans are caught on film forever. 20 Fashion themselves warm; multi-lay- ered polo shirts (collars up) also provided a warm fashion. With the success of the movie Flash- dance, ripped-to-order sweat- shirts became fashionable, with tank top T-shirts peeking out as shirts not so innocently slipped off shoulders. Japanese letter- ing began to appear on sweats and T-shirts, and riding on a Duran Duran wave, males jumped into the fashion scene with parachute pants and the New Romantic look (thin ties in- cluded). The ‘“‘punk”’ look car- ried more weight than in past years, and several guys suc: cumbed to a pierced ear and a GARRET? -AILROADERS Sting-type haircut. Leather made a hit in the guise of jack- ets, pants, and mini-skirts. Girls wore huge and bright jewelry. As always, a pair of Levis and a T-shirt provided an easy way out, and many people belted their 501 Blues with a bandana and finished the picture with a pair of Nikes or Adidas sports shoes. Denim jackets were pop- ular for girls. Coliseum-goers collected concert T-shirts and souvenirs, and hunters stood out in the student forrest in their camoflauge and khaki. As spring rolled around, cropped pants and Bermuda shorts showed themselves and rubber shoes helped feet stay cool. Hand-made chopped up sweatshirts kept the tempera- ture down a little, too. Girls painted their fingernails strange (and glow-in -the-dark) colors, and with an effort to bring “punk” and ‘“‘cool’’ together, sunglasses that wrapped visor- like around half of the head were worn. Very few students affected a permanent “‘look’’, preferring to keep versatility in their ward: robes and proving that though fashions come and go, fashion never dies.
