Alarm clocks buzzed their ever-familiar tone as students awoke to an overcast sky and a downpour of rain. The mood just wasn't homecoming. But as the day began, yellow mums and carnations brightened the halls, and the sift anticipation grew. ' Then the parade slowly began to roll down Main street. The yell leaders flipped and flopped all about while a pick up truck full of proud volleyball players waved signs proclaiming we love our team and go dogsf' and wrapped themselves in streamers of blue and gold. Umbrellas that sheltered homecoming queen candidates and their new suits were closed and stored neatly at their feet. The track reamained empty, and the High Grove students dissappointed with their long distance view of the commotion as the parade was directed to the back of the school, and the pep assembly was detoured indoors. Although spirit was on the rise, the tension was mounting. The football team was in a umust-win situation, and the queen candidates were nearing the critical mo- grWIgMA,,gp. ment. ' Even after school was dismissed, busy volunteers decorated for the dance with paintings of cartoon characters, this year's theme. Meanwhile, varsity cheerleaders filled 275 helium balloons to be set free before the game. lt was finally kickoff time. The water-spotted cement bleachers had begun to fill in, and the crowd was at a quiet murmer, soon to become a riled up grandstand. Later, by the half time festivities, the Bulldogs were ahead 14-0. Drill team danced up a storm, and ended up mud-caked after rolling on a soggy field during their routine. The game ended in a 28-0 shut-out, but the celebration didn't. The homecoming dance really happened. lt was the most successful dance Grandview has ever had - probably because Student Council didn't put any emphasis on coming as couples. There were alot of kids there without dates that had alot of funf, Keith Tempel, vice-principal and STUCO sponsor said. Yes, over four hundred attended that dance. Almost one third of the student body. l985. lt was homecoming, and...it felt like homecoming. Text by Kayden Vold Layout by Melanie Jackson

Rob Lang CANDID CAMERA. At Bannister Mall, Bob- by Cooper, senior, and Kristen Sowell, sopho- more, strike a pose in fashions from Benetton and J. Riggins. 12 I Fashion W0 MS t Hi l i il S J. When it came to fashion Grandview had what it took from classical to country the styles were right individual creations of the 80's were on the move Finding its way through the usual blue jeans and old comfy sweats, a new look of class began to don the halls of Grandview Senior High. Hairstyles for '85 were limited. Short and long bobs structured in an airy halo of loose curls seemed to be a must Udo . The punk look was forgotten as more full and subtle styles were created with the help of popular hair products such as Shpritz and Mousse, Whitney Moore of Hair Care Harmony said. The flash of neon passed quickly before student's eyes as the elegance of medival tapestries set in. Wide-shouldered jackets offsetting short, narrow skirts were a hit and skeins of pearls seemed to accentuate any attire. Flowered jeans or stirrup pants worn with oversized paisley and other bold print shirts were a fashionable trend for the girls. For the guys, suspenders and cotton blazers added to the look of sophistication, but they just couIdn't seem to leave their favorite pair of Reebok's and 501's far be- hind. The look of the eighties was not much different than the look of the fifties. From cropped jeans and cardigan sweaters to large broches pinned at the neck and pen- ny loafers, everyone fit in. This year proved to be cooler as shorts were deemed proper attire by school ad- ministration. Cut-off sweats and shoes without laces were worn when some just wanted to be themselves. People are wearing what everyone else is wearing, Merry-Go-Round manager Gretchen Sullivan said. If it's out and it's hot, that's what people are going to buy and wear.
