Lexington is a town where fads come and go. One of the fads that had a serious following was known as the Jolt Dynasty in a world where ‘‘crisp clean and no caffeine” was the rule. Jolt-heads flooded the streets chant- ing, ‘‘All the sugar and twice the caffe- ine.” Jolt fanatics quickly realized that Jolt Cola was a liquid No Doz. Soon people were chugging a 6-pack a day so they could make it through the day. Jolt abuse has declined though since people realized you should ‘Just say no!” Now at LHS people are into hair or 10 Fads the lack of it. Just ask Freddie Har- rington who was attacked by a Weed Eater one day. Later other students took weed eaters to their heads and the next ‘‘cool thing’’ was started. Some think that excessive hair is where it’s at; Just ask Nosferatu, the friendly neighborhood thrash band, where the longer the hair, the better. Leather jackets were everywhere this year from flight jackets to Harley Davidson jackets. Some get them so they can have the George Michael look, while others go for the ‘‘don't mess 4 with me or I'll kill you’’ look. Most people wear them with plain old Levis, but even then Levis aren't the same. You've got your faded ones, holey ones, bleached ones, acid washed and black jeans. Life couldn't get more complicated. This years fads may fade like old jeans but the class of 88 will always re- member them. — Brad Householder — Dwight Inman
