DATING After getting through the tricky doorbell I was lust glad that Kath opened the door - not her mother, not On the town Hard day's night works out By Cary Stegall She's the one that Called me, so I really couldnt say no. It's not that I didnt want to gog it's just that after working four hours under the sun, I wasnt sure whether I wanted to even stand up or not. After a shower and sitting around for an hour, the idea ofa date was sounding much better. I waited for the Cars to finish on the radio, I dont know why, I had only heard it a billion times before. As I was walking out the door, I realized I had better Check my money, I still hadnt gotten my check for this week. There was that extra twenty from my aunt, I wonder how I ever lived without graduation money. I nearly broke even on the prom with all this money coming in.

FASHIONS 'Do ya think I'm seXy?' By Lisa Atturio A more than obvious 'Rod Stewart' haircut captivated the attention ol' most of the people in the school for the changing fad and fashion. This is cut extremely short on top and layered on the sides and hack, Many girls, as well as guys, got in- to this new modern day style. However, curls have carried over from the previous year. The easy-to-do permanent is what some people enjoy because of the Ucarefreei' maintenance. As the summer months approached, students prepared for a botherless style. X NI 'NM K john McPherson shows his far West look lHawaiij The preppy look did not catch on like it did on college campuses everywhere. But it did take hold partially. Students would wear bits and pieces of the apparel but tended to stay with the same All-American High School Kid look. Taking hold were the button down collar shirts and Izod shirts Cwith the small alligator emhlem on the top lelti. Top siders, a preppy type ol' sad- dle oxford, summed up the whole look. Pastel monogramed sweaters along with wool skirts attracted attention during the cold months. jeans, with labels of designers almost spoke a language of Gloria Vanderbuilt, Calvin Klein. Chardon. Vidal Sassoon - but would anyone have exer suspected Willie Nelson or Gilleys for a famous jean label? That particular fad hit the school overwhelmingly while the personalized nameplates didnt do quite as well, The T-shirt craze, always a favorite, along with l,evi's and Adidas seemed to be the cheapest way to stay in style . . . wrong. With the nations 'fitness kick' still going at a full tilt. a T-shirt. Adidas and ti pari of Lexis costs about the same as a designer shirt and pants with a pair of Famolares.

DATING ous. You know. we didnt plan to get mar- ried or even go steady during college. 500 miles between us put that one out. We just had a lot of fun together. and neither one of us wanted to date anyone else right now. I hoped. XXr'hen I pulled into the driveway. I was glad that I had my mom's car. it rnakes you feel a little more important, es ecially in a ritzy neighborhood like this. Clfc. why do people have to water their lawns all the time! Oh well, I got through, slightly wetter than when I started. Doorbell on the left, strange place for it, on the wall instead of the door frame. Kath opened the door and I came in so we could decide what we were going to do. IIer mother offered us Cokes - sure - and we got a paper to look at the movies. Iixca- libur was too far away, and we would be too late to see the new Richard Pryor show. We decided to go to the mall since there were a couple ofgood shows there. The drive over was nice. Kath talked about her new job. she was working at a bank. And it wasnt even the one her father worked at. Then there was the crazy driver. probably drank too much. who tried to move over three lanes in about three sec- onds. We did make it to the mall though. I parked right beside the trash dumpster, how FUIIIIIIIIIC. The Ifour Seasons started in a few min- utes. and my best friend had told me it was good. so thats what we saw, It was a good show. You have to be careful what sort of movie you see on a date. A lot of the movies out I would enjoy with friends and she would enjoy with her friends. but together theyre just embarrassing. We walked into the movie next door. something about a So foot alligator that decides he would rather visit New Yorks hot spots. killing plenty of the populace on the way, than stay in the sewers where he has grown to such silly proportions, Real trash. It was funnier than the other movie. because it was supposed to be serious. On the way home we stopped at Iienni- ganss We got a drink. I played some Gorp, and we talked to some friends - a lot of friends in fact. Even our waitress was a friend. I think we both decided we would rather leave than have to listen to another interesting conversation. On the way back to her house, I finally got smart and remembered that this car had a moon-roof. The breeze from that thing felt wonderful. considering how muggy it was everywhere. Vile spent a few minutes in front of her house. lvou know. that moon-roof comes in handy l. Anyway. I took her to the door and came back home. I was really glad I had said yes to her earlier in the evening, it had been a good night. It's obvious what I go through the trouble for. I'm selfish. My friend. a regular fount of knowledge, had said that you dont have to like someone to love them, but I am glad that I dont have that problem. The moon-roof was a great help on this date. I'lI have to ask my mom for this car more often. .-s5-7-,.,,r,-yy-,y -. 4 ..,a.x., , ,.
