As Seniors began their last week of school, many activities were planned. Picnics, parties and Senior Slave Day became part of the final countdown. Mrs. Debbie Burns, home economics teacher, arranged a pool party and free bowling for the Class. Amid the last few days, Senior Slave Day was held on the Seniors' last Friday of school. Here's how it went: The day began as any other normal school day. People arrived at school, walked the halls or just stood around their lockers, but something unusual was happening. Seniors were being transformed into slaves with the underclassmen getting their revenge. Jennifer Nichols made her slave, Ed Moore, dress in one of her favorite outfits: a denim mini-skirt and a Hawaiian shirt. Jamie Davis, on the other hand, gave Jimmy Waters a little school spirit by dressing him in a GHS cheerleading uniform. Not everyone was transformed to the opposite sex, however. Many were just transformed. Brenda Ware was made years younger with her pony tails, stuffed animals and a baby bottle, while Kathy Shaver and Becky Setter were sheiks for a day. Some Seniors weren't dressed up, they were just made up to act as slaves. Kelly White made her sister Leslie carry her books and walk her to class, while Pat Shaw had to carry his master to class. The torture Finally eased after third period. As their years of high school wound down, the Seniors attended the Senior Sermon and, of course, graduation. — Kim Mitchell, Shelly Hunsaker.

Just about every store carried these fashion accessories, which came in a variety of colors and shapes. Some pins were made to resemble medallions with a bronzed look to them. The more casual look came from the I Love Lucy era as young women began to wear stirrup pants, big shirts or sweaters or flat shoes. Dressing nice not only pertained to the women, but men also joined in the fashion scene as they began to dress in pastels or tropical prints. If the young men wanted to look both casual and dressy at the same time, they sported the Don Johnson look. Cotton, baggy pants with a pastel tee and an oversized jacket were made popular by the Miami Vice star. Young men began wearing pink, yellow or lilac shirts resembling the Johnson look. In a world that is constantly changing, it seems that fashions do repeat themselves, but with each repeat comes the changes of the modern touch.
