Skirts shorten, coke machines talk and as new trends begin We 're movin' on As the summer ended and the thought of school neared, it became apparent to most that this would be a year of many trends, fads, and changes. The first day the doors opened for classes the fact that we were moving on to new and revitalized times made itself obvious. Walking into the foyer, the first sounds that could be heard were that of the talking coke machine. Home on the Range and 'fCoke is It familiarized themselves with students throughout the year. Glancing around, other modifications one might notice included new Highstepper uniforms and the Hall of Fame. New faculty members greeted students with a fresh outlook, while new students greeted faculty members with timid smiles. Trends which made their debut included mini-skirts, tux- edo clothes and headbands. This was a sign that we would not be left behind in the fast-moving fashion scene. The tight jeans and high heels were left in the closet while the baggy jeans and flat shoes became the craze. The punk look also spread like wildfire. Both male and female students punked their hair and donned bright stripes and prints. Long-sleeved T-shirts by Ocean Pacific appeared daily, while concert shirts began to fade out. These trends granted the chance to move on with the ever-changing times. Taking time out from a busy schedule, Senior Ronda Smith and Sophomore Dawn Clark enjoy a mo- ment of laughter. 2 Opening

Excelling athletes, clubs and fine arts were a reason to claim We 're movin' on Sports would not be left behind either. Major milestones included the girls basketball team winning their first district title with an impressive undefeated record. Senior team members Joanna Hooker and Kathy Anderson attracted major college scouts, as did Senior Jay Crane and Junior Bill Wirskye of the Boys Varsity team. Todd Phelps, senior, received a football scholarship from the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Girls Cross Country team again ad- vanced to the state meet, as did Mike Ford of the boys team. Other signs of change, such as the starred uniforms of the boys basketball team, and the new dress and hair codes of the Athletic Department, moved the teams on to higher standards. Other areas that excelled included band, choir and F.B.L.A. In the band, Senior trumpet player Paul Bramlett earned a position in the Ft. Worth Youth Orchestra and the Lion's Club All-State Band. Junior Lonnie McCloud led the choir achievers by becoming a member of the All-State Choir for the second year in a row. The Future Business Leaders of America returned from their yearly district con- test with the Sweepstakes Award for the most contest wins. They also received the Outstanding Chapter Award. Through the efforts of these organizations, our extra- curricular activities moved on to greater heights. -vii? The cafeteria became a popular place to eat. Todd Phelps, senior, enjoys his lunch.
