Hair had to be cut above the collar and the student body protested. Principal Jack VanVleck, who has been here for two years, already sees a change. VanVleck says, “The stu- dent body cares more about education, and there is more career awareness; attendance is better.” dent body is unique: close and outgoing, yet not afraid.” Hansen’s goal is to build a more positive attitude, encourage better attendance at games and generally to develop more school spirit.

Student top picks by Mark Grable ’57 Chevys, “Light My Fire”, “Proud Mary,” suede and saddle shoes, The Sound of Music, — the favorites of genera- tions past. In many ways styles have changed since our parents were in school; in other ways styles have stayed the same. Some of the all-time favorites include the lengendary Levis, Coca Cola, hamburgers, and everyone’s favorite Sun- day pastime, football. Some fads like the mini skirt have come in and out and in again. Unique to the late 80’s are favorites such as Code Bleu, Crowded House, Crocodile Dundee, “Who’s that Girl,” and Reebok All of these favorites reflect the tastes and changes in the Granite Falls student body.
