. . . Different Kicking off the thuse Thursday night, the annual parade of floats and students went through Grafton's downtown streets about seven. As the floats and cars arrived at the high school, students began piling off the vehicles and heading toward the gym. The student body joined together in the gym with spirit and fun as cheers passed back and forth. You could feel the excitement in the air, said senior Jeri Abel. Adding to the excitement, tricycles were raced and ice cream was insanely consumed. Although it was quite messy, it proved to be a good time for all. I hope this kind of event becomes an annual homecoming tradition, student vice president Pat Varah said. Enthusiasm kicked into overdrive on Friday as Leslie Tighe, senior, was crowned Homecoming queen and the Bearcats romped to a 38-13 victory over the Frankfort Falcons. The week's festivities were culminated with the annual Homecoming dance as Kevin Lyons provided the DJ entertainment.

Mr. Forrest Kelley, biology teacher, said, The fashion trends were much more individualistic; they allowed kids to be who they were. Some people liked the pretty look. Jo Napier, sophomore, said, I really liked shirts with teddy bears and unicorns on them. Other people preferred a wilder style of clothing. Kelly White, senior, stated that she, liked the more exotic footwear. Remarks from people like Barbara Setler, sophomore, stated a different side. I don't like the shoes that look like the ones Nellie wore on Little House on the Prairie. As with all current fashion, styles that were in a long time ago are in again. Junior, Robyn Ringler said, Styles were more comfortable and relaxed. They repeated themselves with the faded demin and western wear. Pat Varah, senior, stated Wearing a jean jacket is like wearing an attitude. You're cool, you're bad, and no one messes with you. Mony skirt lengths can be seen during lunch period. Mini skirts, and calf lengths were some of the numerous styles. During o concert given by Michael Jonathan, his keyboard player sports a bleached long hair style. Barbara Setler, Sophomore Hair was pretty spectacular too! As Missy Medrick senior said, Now you can do your hair any way you want and still be cool. Basically, the styles were put together by the students themselves. If they felt comfortable, they wore it. After all, isn't that how it should be? 14 Student Life
