During late 1979, popular music benan to undergo a major '-mamorphosis. Disco, a form of extremely repetitive dance music, began to fade in popularity. In its place came a musical movement known as new wave. New Wave actually had its beglnlngs years earlier in what was known as punk rock. Punk bands such as The Sex Pistols, clash, buzzcoi rs, and The Ramones used their Q, .Jsic to express the anger and anxiety of modern life. The punk movement arose from the frustrated youth of England's midddle class who said that they had no future. Punk rock was by no means pretty, but then it was not meant to be.

Punk also brought a return of politics and protest to music, with the Sex Pistols singing songs like God Save the Queen, God Save Our Facist Regime. Punk, however, had a limited following for most listeners could not endure the harsh and nihilistic tone of the music. With the arrival of New Wave, however, the messages of punk at last found a commercial outlet. New Wave took the apprehensive lyrical quality of punk, and set it against a more refined acoustical medium. Elvis Costello was perhaps the most important pioneer in this movement. Along with Dave Edmunds and Nick Lowe, Costello brought the pop element back to modern music. By 1980, Costello had released four albums, My Aim ls True, This Year's Model, Armed Forces, and Get Happy. Each album featured the irresistable Costello formula of catchy lyrics set to even catcher melodies. Perhaps no one since the Beatles had the gift Costello possessed for utterly infectious music. With such Costello tunes as The Angels Want To Wear My Red Shoes, Lipstick Vogue, Radio Radio, Accidents Will Happen and Green Shirt, New Wave at last began to catch on. Equally influential on the New Wave scene was Brian Eno. During the seventies, Eno had created music ranging from slightly twisted rock and roll tunes such as Baby's On Fire to what one reviewer referred to as modern day chamber music with the album Another Green World.

Wednesday, better known during homecoming week as senior bathrobe day, and twins day, brought with it many extraordinary sights, such as a pair of reindeer, a few clowns and many other identical twin outfits. As for the seniors, a few looked like early morning coffee commercial rejects, as they trudged through the halls in their bathrobes, while being accompanied by favorite stuffed sleeping companions. Western day, which seems to have become an annual event at school, was voted on by the Student Senate as the third dress-up day. On no other day of the year were as many cowboy hats, boots and pistols seen on Western day. Some students were able to attend school in their normal fashion of dress while others dressed rather elaborately in costumes and dance hall dresses. And of course, Friday was the traditional red and white day. Everyone was instructed to wear red and white clothing with red armbands ibut not black armbands, which some official deemed as inappropriate for high school activitiesj. The Varsity Revue as in years gone by proved to be a smashing success on both Thursday and Saturday night. It contained something for almost everyone. some of the highlights consisted of popular songs, dance routines, amusing comedy skits, and performances by the Drum Corps, the Rifle Corps, Majorettes and the Highlandettes. The pre-game activities at Wildcat Stadium Friday night included the presentationof all homecoming court nominees and the crowning of the Homecoming Queen and her court. An anxious crowd of approximately 15,000 showed up to cheer the Wildcats on. Many ex- students and several local celebrities turned out for the exciting game against the rival Plano Wildcats. The LH Cats suffered a disappointing loss to Plano with a score of 30-0. The theme of the 19,79 Homecoming was Good Times, which was exactly what everyone had who attended the Homecoming dance. The dance lasted until one o'clock with music provided by a deejay. Spirit ran high all week with the decoration of cars, the decoration of the school inside and out by various clubs and the repaintingand protecting of the railroad tressle.
