Check out the Student Life section to find out the many uses of a car (besides transportation), the events that make us laugh and cry, the ways in which our parents embarrass us and a whole lot more. To see how we fit it all in, flip through the next 34 pages. You’ll see that the highlights and hassles of a student’s life are all in a days work-- and play. ■ At least seven of the 15 community service hours required by the National Honor Society members had to be spent at King's Nursing Home. Completing the service hours turned into hard work, even though some of the time was spent playing games like during this visit on Halloween. Nursing home residents Imogene Martinson and Golda Wildt put candy in the bags of Michelle King and Jeremy Jones who also spent Halloween night at King’s. For more about the National Honor Society, see pages 22-23. Photo by Carrie Mieske. ■ Newly-elected homecoming queen senior Carrie Mieske recieves a hug from fellow candidate Randi Chidester. Carrie may have been the winner of the half-time activities, but the Bobcats put a lot of work into playing the Mustangs, winning 13 to 11. For more on the festivities, see pages 14-15.

ikr.s v s - - | tuderiji cut hack to. '50'l {jCiAli a»t Ueruh. ell, what do you 1 know! Grandma was right! Those fashions that at one time no one would be caught dead in have made a comeback. Fashion today is like looking at an image out of the ‘50’s. The latest trends include granny boots, bobby socks, rolled-up jeans, over- sized sweaters and long hair pulled back in a ponytail. THE BAGGY LOOK was in. As junior Sarah Woodwyk adds the final touches to the homecoming decorations she shows off the latest fashions. Sarah said she wears what she likes and isn't influenced by others. Photo by Jeff Raymond. “Fashions today are real easy to put together. All you have to do is put on a pair of jeans, throw on your dad's sweatshirt and put your hair up and you’re ready to go,” senior Tammy Winchel said. Current fashions have regressed as far back as the ‘Roaring ‘20’s.’ Long strands of pearls, straight skirts and flats conveyed the year’s look for some. “I love to wear flats and my mother’s pearls just because there is no reason. I’m not influenced by peer pressure,” junior Sarah Woodwyk said. Influence did play a part in fashions for some, though. That influence came from anyone ranging from peers to celebrities in the spotlight. “I love to look at the fashions in rock magazines,” freshman Stacy Beil said, “although normal people can’t afford them.” Teenagers may not remember when mousse was a chocolate dessert and punk was someone your dad tried to steer you away from. However, they do remember the fads of the time. So what’s in store for the future? Only Grandma knows. Maria Ignat FADS AND FASHIONS All in a day's work—and play
