Students Follow Current Trends Looking back in one's past seems to be something practiced by everyone. As each year comes to a close, it leaves behind its memories of what you did, wore and how you acted. Everyone always seems to enjoy looking back on how it used to be Most Memorable Movies Movies take up a lot of students' time and adds a bit of entertainment to everyday life. In early days the price of a movie was as low as fifty centsg today the price is 52.75. This year's most memorable movies were: Animal House Every Which Way But Loose Halloween Magic Foul Play The China Syndrome The Champ Coma Heaven Can Wait Superman Concerts You Couldn't Miss This year, several popular rock groups and musicians per- formed around the area and many HCC students went to great extents with skipping classes and humming rides just to get to them. Tickets selling for six or seven dollars often doubled or tripled in value by the time they reached the hands of a determined fan through resale. All sorts of sacrifices were made in order to see: Boston Billy Joel Doobie Brothers The Moody Blues Kenny Rodgers Waylon Jennings Steve Martin Statler Brothers Campus Life f 28 Spring Fling Mike Propp and Debbie Stegman get ready to try for a cake award in one of the many big events at the annual HCC Spring Fling. World Series '78 The 1978 World Series took on a special meaning since many of the players such as New York Yankee pitcher, Bob Welch and second baseman Brian Doyle were so young and inexperienced. The Yankees looked ragged through the first two games of the series as the Los Angeles Dodgers routed them both games. Just as the Dodgers began to relax, Reggie Jackson caught fire and the Yankees came storming back. Before the Dodgers could recover, the Yankees took four straight games and the world title back to New York. Super Bowl XIII Super Bowl XIII left a vivid picture with the power of the Pittsburg Steelers linemen facing the confident Dallas Cow- boys. Through each quarter the excitement was undying with Pittsburg taking huge leads at a time and Dallas matching them every point until the last few minutes of the game. The Steelers stole the Super Bowl 35 to 31.

Fashion Trends Fashion trends for the 78-79 school year varied from the famous Annie Hall look with tailored pants, full skirts, shirts and blazers to the comfortable and economical blue jeans and T-shirts. Perms were popular for both tight and loose curls on guys and girls. Feathered-back styles were still the trend but the frizzed look was the new look. The disco scene was in full swing with slinky satins, gangster hats, and form-fitting pants. Below, Angela Benbrook and Kim Bernard disco during their fashion show presentation, Get It Together with Fashion. Several HCC students mod- eled such items as swimwear, sportswear, disco and others. The show was sponsored by several Hutchinson stores. The Gasoline Dilema For the second time since 1973, events thousands of miles away in Iran have affected the American economy with an emphasis on gasoline. This year, Iran had to cut off their gas production for a period of time and during that time Saudi Arabia took the opportunity of filling most of the world's petroleum shortfall. This action caused gasoline prices to rise considerably in a short period of time and many stations began to institute their own rationing programs because of supply problems. Other stations affected took action by closing earlier on weekdays or limiting purchases by the gallon or dollar amounts. Neverthe- less, our fuel economy once again became a major concern and everyone was affected by it. Top TV Shows One of the most popular ways to relax is in front of the T.V. For years television has provided cheap entertainment for students when the idea of studying sounded .repulsive and money was short. Shows such as Mork and Mindy, Saturday Night Live, and M 'A 'S 'H,' were a few of the favorites for many HCC students. Other shows that ranked high as favorites were Happy Days, Three's Company, Eight is Enough and The Young and the Restless. Major Musicians For a number of years, the Bee Gees have been among everybodys' favorite rock groups and during the 78-79 school year they became an American symbol everywhere. Writers of many hits such as Stayin' Alive, Night Fe- ver, How Deep is Your Love? Too Much Heaven, and many others has enabled them to be chosen number one rock group of 1978, and gave them the opportunity to star in the major motion picture, Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
