Junior Miss contestants do the twist as part ol the physical fitness section ot the Jaycees — sponsored pageant. Over the morning announcements, Mr. Joseph Fetty introduced two new rules, spawning a con- troversy that would last until year’s end. The first rule declared that no student could wear hats or bandanas. Some were outraged, saying, What gives the school the right to start a dress code? Others shrugged and forgot in a few days. The next rule caused a worse storm: anyone with a hickie would receive half a day of suspen- sion. Students now accused the school of trying to judge morality. The main disapproval of this rule came when it was seemingly not enforced by any teachers or administrators. Students realized what they could get away with. Some were amused to think who would have been suspended. Senior Steve Vanco asked tor the privilege tor sweet revenge and answered with a pie for Mr. Gary Young. Personally, I think bandanas are tacky. As for hickies, what people do in their personal life is their own business, but it shouldn ' t be displayed in school. Krysta Lytle, junior Surprised Kay stall member Vinca Schuring asked why this picture appears in the yearbook. He received no answer. Yes! It shouldn’t be any of their (administrators’) business what people do on their free time. It’s your body; they shouldn ' t care. What next, uniforms? Carrie Mayer, sophomore Do you think the rules against bandanas and hickies are unfair? OPENING
