Homecoming Golden Moments are forever was the theme of Irmo's 1981 Homecoming week. Golden it was, but it was many other ac' tivities also. Monday was preppy day. Students wore their snazziest lzods and Polos for this day. Tuesday, students dressed in their favorite college colors. Carolina and Clemson were seen the most. Crazy students wore their zaniest headgear for crazy hat day which was Wednesday. Many moose and chicken heads made their appearance atop lrmo students. Thursday was special, just as if it were only for the punkers at lrmo. Green hair and people wearing strange clothes were on the rampage once again. Finally, on Friday, it was black and gold day. Almost everyone could be seen donned in black and gold. Other activities went on during the week also. Spirit chains were constructed in the lunchrooms. The Civinettes sold mums to guys for that special gal, and the French Club sold hats for the girls to give to their special fellow. At the homecoming pep rally, the ju- niors were announced as winners of the spirit chain and the Science Club was awarded for the best homecoming banner. Homecoming week at the very least was a diversion from the every day rou- tine of school. But it proved to be enjoy- able, and it appeared that Golden Mo- ments were Forever! . All right, big team!

Dressed To Kill l will have to buy this, this, and of course that. As a student's wardrobe grew, his savings account probably did not. Many students had to save their money for a couple of weeks to get the shirt, pants, or dress they wanted. But a lack of funds did not stop stu- dents from buying more clothes. This year the preppy look was in with plaid pants and skirts, penny loaf- ers, knee socks, and V neck sweaters. The western look was stylish again this year among students. Jeans, hats, feathers, and leather accessories were reminiscent of the old west. And to fin- ish the look, a variety of boots were visible on the feet of 'Lurban cowboys . A few students favored the punk ul--W -o0 '?i f look. Flamboyant fashions such as bag- gy pants, leopard-skin patterns, camou- flage pants, pink or black tennis shoes, and colorful shirts were part of the punk wardrobe. For those who would afford it, the de- signer look was popular. Some of the brand names worn included Calvin Klein, Jordache, lzod, Ralph Lauren, and Aigner, to name just a few. Although the old jeans and T-shirts look was slowly slipping away, some students simply hung on. A definate mixture of tastes and styles presented itself during the 1981-82 year. From formal to casual, each student repre- sented his or her own style. The preppy look is personified by Sharon Fashion plates Mary Mulhern and Kari Renshaw Underwood, who sports a sweater, oxford cloth but- discuss what they will wear to school on the next ton down, khaki trousers and pearls. day.
