Totally Fad — Totally Groady to the max Like gag me with a spoon! Thes e were just two of the phrases that were used during the year. As usual, fads and fashions came into style and be- came popular. Among the things that changed the most were phrases and words that were commonly used. Clothing styles also changed from season to season. Throughout the year several dif- ferent phrases became well-known and well-used. Walking down the hall at any given time, one heard totally awesome (highly praising), to the max (all the way), or I ' m so sure! (showing extreme disap- proval). No doubt was used to show total agreement, while mega expressed a great amount. Not only did phrases become popular, but certain activities also became widespread. At midnight on weekends, The Rocky Horror Pic- ture Show, — the more times the better.

Wayne to please the crowds. Clothes were also always going in and out of style. On the clothes scene, varied fashions were worn. One saw straight legs, baggies and pinstriped jeans. Polo shirts, ox- fords, and Izods were still making fashion headlines, along with mini- skirts, legwarmers, and short hair. For the guys tuxedo shirts with bow ties were all the rage. But of course guys wore the accepted T-shirts and jeans that had always been in style. In all fashion areas; popular ex- pressions, activities and clothes, each person reflected his personal preferences and showed that with- out a doubt do your own thing was the most popular attitude. — Jessica Brandt ' photo by Jeff Handlin -12- fashions lifestyles

Morp — A Sign Of The Times While students were at the bas- ketball game, many of them antici- pated the night ahead. Thinl ing that it was too early to call it a night, the answer to most people ' s quest for entertainment was dances. Last year the regular dances were held, along with, for the first time, a dance called the t orp. Morp was prom backwards with all of the trim- mings, complete with weed cor- sages, girls treating the guys, and matching T-shirts. Some corsages were dried flowers bought at a flow- er shop; others were (carefully?) picked out of backyards. Couples ate at McDonald ' s, Pizza Hut, or Burger King. Because of this, there was no real worry about what to order or the prices. For once, the guys got to be taken out for dinner. Instead of spending six months ' allowance on a formal dress and tuxedo, almost all of the couples wore matching T-shirts. Half-way through the Morp, the Morp court was announced, with the members receiving yellow construction paper crowns. The people who received the honors were: Clumsiest: Doug Dilley and Lisa An- til. Most Likely To Win Indy 500: Chris Kelley and Theresa Bailey, Biggest Whiner: Chris Gibson and Susie Haines, Most Hilarious Laugh: Jeff Handlin and Tammy Liechty, Biggest Brown Noser: Chad Watson and Susie Robbins, Most Likely To Be On The Cover Of GO Magazine: Todd Fuzy, Most Likely to be on Mademoiselle: Julie Snyder, Person Who Grubs The Most: An- drea Stucky, Biggest Troublemaker: George Gee and Sandy Scudder, Best Smile: Pete Garrison and Tricia Tappy Best Couple: Jim Collins and Kim Heidrich Lasting until the midnight hour, the Morp provided an evening ' s worth of entertainment. Although the Morp was a high school-only event, a large crowd arrived. Dances were, in most people ' s eyes, an inexpensive and fun way to spend time after a game. But one dance held during the year was dif- ferent than all the rest. Many of us will remember our first Morp be- cause, for once, we did switch roles and become one of them. — Jessica Brandt A group of sophomores in the East Com- mons anticipated the opening of the doors at the first Morp. Atter the dance, Pete Garrison had his door held open for him by his escort, Susie Rob- bins. -11- morp lifestyles
