Look at Us! Look at us! We’ve had our growing pains, but we are GHS and proud. Last year, the Evaluation Committee from the South- ern Association looked at and offered suggestions for improving our curriculum, activities, buildings, and per- sonnel. One result was a seven-period day with an hour lunch-study period; second, a scheduled activity period; a handbook contain- ing a new grading scale with rules and policies of Taze- ed It is fun to realize that our school is rapidly becoming international in scope.

LOOK AT US! Susan Kessler and Stephanie McGrady model their bibs with plaid flannel shirts, comfortable Hush Puppies, and big smiles! aD, ee 22SSQe: oh Wi Typical cowboys, three squint into the red morn- ing sun, cowboy hats on their heads. From leather to felt to straw, Danny Russell, Bill Hall, and Duane Beck are proud of the look they create. A down-filled vest, plaid shirts, and jeans add to their western wear. Western Hats and Campus Plaids — We Got Them All We wear a variety of clothes. The everyday casual look consists mainly of jeans with coordinating sweaters, shirts, and shoes. One popular sweater is the soft velour and for both guys and girls, the red and white GHS sweater bright- ens any day while showing extra school spirit. The tennis shoes we wear on our Cas- ual days range in every possible make, color, and size. From Nikes, to Con- verse, to Sears, each has its own identity and look. Daily we students lean toward another fast developing style — the preppie look of dock side shoes, Izod and Oxford shirts, and khaki pants. The Izod 4 Clothes We Wear craze not only offers the little alligator, that ‘mark of prestige,’ on shirts, but also belts, raincoats, key chains, and even socks. We not only have a casual but also a dressy side — one that grows with each passing year. Girls are wearing dresses, velvet blazers, wool skirts, high heels, and boots while the guys are wearing dress pants with coordinating shirts, and either crew-necked or V-necked sweat- ers. Western wear — cowboy boots and hats, bibs, corduroys, flannel shirts — are part of the clothes we wear. Bibs, made of different materials, come in an assortment of colors as do corduroys. To add that final touch, many guys and some girls wear cowboy hats and boots. Coats are part of dressing and we def- initely have a variety of these. For dressy wear, girls turn to the long winter coats or the short leather or fur jackets; guys wear overcoats or down-filled jackets. For everyday wear, we turn to the ever-faithful lettermen and band jackets to ski jackets and vests. We are individu- als who wear clothes that reflect our personalities.
