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.

LOOK AT US! OPEC Go Away — We Need Wheels We come to school in a number of different vehicles. Many of our par- ents rode the bus or walked, because it was a real privilege to drive a car. Today, though, we drive our own car, ride a bus, or walk. More teens are driving smaller cars than’ ever because of today’s fuel cost; any- where from $1.15 to a high $1.40 a gallon. Some students refuse econom- ics and still drive gas-guzzling sports cars, trucks, and four-wheel drives. We also see the “buy American made cars’ theme in our parking lot as we view small economy cars like Chevette, Mustang, and Monza. The American made gas hog is also popu- lar with our students as a variety of Camaros, Firebirds, Jeeps, and trucks fill our lot every morning. Daily we use all means of transportation to carry our sleepy bodies to first-period classes. We drive a wide variety of vehicles to school and Andy Maitland likes to begin his day with a drive in his brown Scout. 6 ‘Transportation We Use Diana Puckett, freshman, waves a cheery good morning to her friends as she and Connie Vance arrive at the bus port, courtesy of A fun way to travel to school is in Jim Penning- ton’s red Chevrolet pick-up truck. Enjoying a turn around the parking area are Ronnie Jessie, Neel Smith and Charlie Holbrook in the bed of em Diana’s mother’s car. Books and food are important to our day; friends are a special part of our lives. this prized vehicle. Riding in the bed of Jim’s late model truck on a sizzling hot day is much more enjoyable than in a new air conditioned car. At least Jim thinks so.
