NEWS BREAKS Spilling Over with Surprises This year has been full of surprises. Our school has been singled out among other schools in the Tidewater area for various reasons. We have also had some rather strange occurrences happen this year. To begin with, Great Bridge High School was picked over all the rest to be the subject of a series of stories in the Tidewater Living section of the Virginian Pilot-Leger Star. There will be a total of 8 articles featuring the Seniors of Great Bridge, among other subjects. Our Varsity Cheerleaders were singled out as well. They were chosen by random selection to appear with the Beach Boys in concert at Hampton Coliseum. The fourteen girls danced, cheered, performed, and lived it up on stage with the whole band. That was a memorable occasion for the girls and the fans as well. Besides these special occasions, there were also some rather strange ones as well. The weather this year has been a constant roller coaster from hot to cold to rainy every other week. But the overwhelming heat dur- ing the beginning of school stuck around for awhile. At one point the heat became so severe, the school was closed for one complete day and we were dismissed early for a number of days. Eventually the heat passed, but on September 27 Hurricane Gloria paid us a visit. Again we missed a day of school and the Great Bridge High School gym became a shelter for the homeless, and everyone was preparing for the up and com- ing storm. Windows were taped and every thing that could have blown away was put in a safe place. After Gloria stayed for a few hours, she left us with as much suddenness as she had when she arrived. After the storm, we were brushed with a cold front that lasted about one weekend. Together, with the cold, the heat and Hurricane Gloria joined together to make this year one of the most interest- ing and best ever! Great Bridge Station was just one out of the many Great Bridge businesses that decided to protect itself from Hurricane Gloria. TED Q S N Chgszbgss P .....

Baggy sweaters, big shirts, stirrup pants, and hightop sneakers are a familiar sight in our hallways. These are just a few of the many styles that are popular, particularly the oversized look in bright colors. The styles are constantly changing, but the reasons be- hind why people dress the way they do have not. Styles are made and changed everyday based on the personal preferences of the person. Some students prefer jeans and a t-shirt while others would rather wear a paisley Oversized sweaters and plaids are popular as shown by Heidi Tatem. 16 Fashions Spilling Grier With TYLE shirt with bangles on their wrist. Fashion is simply a way for people to express their in- dividuality. Hairstyles are another form of fashion. The rat tail and fade are popular or just the simple blunt cut. Ways of styling hair are just as diverse as the way one dressed. An onlooker can tell a lot from the way a person dresses. Whether it be clothes or hair it takes creativity and imagina- tion to make a style work. Students believe that fashion plays an important role in the growing of a person. Lisa Aldrich commented, A person should dress the way hefshe wants, not the way everyone else dresses. Missy Gay added, People should be themsleves and not worry about what anyone else thinks. Overall, styles come and go, and change as frequently as the wind. However, this method of expressing one's self as an individual will always hold true. ffl! Marian Robinson, Wendy WEltSlWlT, 4.
