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.

All My Children, General Hospi¬ tal, One Life To Live, and Ryan ' s Hope, among others, seemed to counter the saying, Diamonds are a girl ' s best friend. Indeed, the soaps are a girl ' s. best friend; and there are some guys who like the soaps too. Darryl Moore, senior, stated, I watch the soaps because they have similar happenings in everyday life. In a recent poll, a few students were asked what particular soap op¬ era they liked and why? Debra Harrington, senior, said, I love ' All My Children ' because the characters are devious and the plots are in¬ triguing. I love ’One Life To Live, ' because it ' s exciting and it keeps you in suspense. It also has good actors and actresses in it, replied senior, Elizabeth Carlisle. Besides those who loved the soaps, there were also a few who dislike them too. Mary Reese, senior, stated, I hate ' General Hospital ' because it has too much controversy as well as too much confusion. The plots don ' t mix well, and the characters are monotonous. So the controversies and su¬ spenses continue. Hurry! Select your favorite channels and relax. Here come the soaps! — La Donna Smith — ASP M F Stuped in ths soaps, Holly Jaskulski, senior, immerses herself in the trials and tribulations of Ryan and Brian, Billy and Millie, Sandra and .. .
