rp 1 otally awesome fer sure, gag me with a spoon, bart out, You ' re such an air¬ head, and goober are just a few things heard in the Val¬ ley Girl song by Moon Unit Zappa that began a new craze in teen language. Multiple ear piercing was also a big fad in 1983. Every time someone turned around, there was somebody else with her ears pierced two, three, or maybe even four times. Along with multiple ear piercings came the use of bright and wild colors. Using metallic, purple and blue nail polishes was considered the in thing. Many people were dying their hair, not blonde, but purple or pink. Punk was where it was at. Junior Donna Popovic re¬ marked, To keep up with fads today, you have to have lots of courage. The preppy look too, was known as the educational look. Punk, new wave, or Val could be seen. Fashion today is simple. You can wear practically anything. — Elizabeth Danko — Exhibited at the LW Hornet ' s Nest bookstore is one of the jerseys currently in vogue and being sold by Mr. Mike Foley, social studies teacher and swim coach. The interior decor of Rita Daniel ' s senior locker reflects a collage of fashion. Wilusz — Fads and Fashions

More and more, students eagerly sought to get into some kind of action. Movement itself was indicative of their growth. When they attended pep rallies and dances, students demonstrated an enthusiasm about themselves and about their school. Those who participated in sports and organisations, too, exhibited their innate spirit and supporting strength. Student Life thus blossomed throughout LW in diverse ways. In fact, for some just by being in school was a standard of life. For it was the to and fro of lively activities that nutured the pulse beat of the institutional body. All of which only proved that Student Life was the greatest part of ’83.

Donna Montez, senior, fashionably promenades down the surge in her zebra like leg warmers. Robin Blackwell and her escort Johaun Smith, both senior members of the queen s court, regally stand and wait in the midst of pomp and purple taffeta during football homecoming festivities. Even the decorative appearance of a van subjects itself to the mod styles of the day. Oh. well! If there ' s nothing new to wear, one can always buy and carry a LW tote bag from Mrs. Bettye Eichelberger ' s Hornet ' s Nest. Fads and Fashions
