Sign 0’ The Times Trends’ are these ideas that catch like fire in a quick flash, spreading across continents at break- neck speed, then dying qui- etly in closets of hand-me- downs. And nowhere do trends spread faster than in a small high school. They’re seen everywhere — in the way we dress, the way we talk, the way we study (or don’t study), in the way we live. Fashions, music, movies, food, all are changing constantly, only remaining as memories in sentimen- tal minds. These trends are remem- bered, though, and captured to add a unique touch to the year in re- view. Skateboarding was one of those trends that none really remembered starting. All of a sudden, they were everywhere — Ollie’s” and 360’s were chicspeak among any young boys gathered together. Skull and cross bones adorned stickers belo- vedly placed beside grip tape on boards of various sizes and color. Surfing was a throw-back from the summer whose fashions were hard to part with. So stickers went on cars and lockers; long shorts and high tops were the rage, and the Surfer haircut” was in demand. While the guys dressed down, the girls dressed up in clothes from such stores as The Limited” and Benneton”. Blue jean jackets and ankle-length skirts graced their fig- ures, and wide wide hoops hung from their ears. Girls also enjoyed the new privilege of wearing shorts to school, a cooler” way of staying cool. Movies were a Fatal Attraction” for the weekend and the appeal was extremely big — Big Town, Big Easy, Big Chill. Horror movies topped the charts as teens swarmed to see The Fly, Hellraiser, and sequels to Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. Movie rentals were a cheap and conve- nient alternative to theatres. HEARD IT THROUGH THE GRAPEVINE I was in high school in the mid-60’s and the most important item in a girl's or a boy’s wardrobe was an oxford cloth shirt. If you seriously liked a boy or a girl the loop on the back of your shirt had to be cut in half. Bass wee- jins were a must and navy blue ones were the ultimate for a girl. An English look became popular with the import of the Beaties. This included the mini dress. I'll never forget my first one — bright kelly green with hot pink polka dots ... — Gary Brightwell Chris Rowe and Chad Brightwell show a little leg for the camera. Wearing shorts to school was a first-year privilege bestowed by Mr. Bennett as a means of surviving September's heat wave. Trends

A Hand To Hold On To When a termi- nal case of the blues hits, a best friend helps. He shares the ups and downs, highs and lows, holidays and school daze. What would high school be without friends? They greet you in the hall and gossip at your locker, exchang- ing notes and warning you about a pop test next period. They give you rides to school and help you eat your lunch. You share clothes, opin- ions, expectations, dreams, secrets, and advice. Friends are ir- replaceable and one of the best aspects of high school. Friends appear later in life: you meet them on the job, next door, and in adult social circles. But they are never as dear as those allies who insure you’re not alone in a big world — high school We’ve been together since kindergarten” — Jennifer Mixon and Car- men Valentine buddies are a united front, together facing every challenge that growing up presents. From the first child who sits next to you in kindergarten and ad- mires how you stay in the lines, to the last person you hug at graduation, saving the rest of your tears for the one who means the most, friends will play a part in growing up. But what makes these bonds so strong that they live through ar- guments, harsh words, math class, summer? Something deep inside that craves companion- ship, a little like the aggregation of cows. Special times friends give us, and so much more. John Cougar Mellencamp ex- pressed it this way — Everyone needs a hand to hold on to, don't need to be no strong hand, don't need to be no rich hand, every- one just needs a hand to hold on to .. . A boyfriend or girlfriend helps take some of During break 1 like to sit outside and catch the load off when high school pressure gets up on the day’s gossip. It’s relaxing after to be too much.
