Justin Hines, ‘‘just say Mooo ... Farm animals are in vogue this year. The shirt says It all. Straight from the jungle ora box of fruit loops, Jimmy Black wears an ob- noxious toucan. 10 Tee-Shirts spirit With A Tee Tee-shirt day at Lexington High School this year proved to be a huge success as the majority of the student body as well as faculty showed their school spirit with tee-shirts during Homecoming week. Tee-shirts are the article of clothing that most teenages prefer to wear, so that day gave LHS an opportunity to see the best ones that had been hiding away in the darkest of closets. The tee-shirts represented each students’s individuality. They ranged from ones that displayed the students’ favorite bands, to ones that had funny sayings, all the way down to a few that showed organizations that they be- longed to. Some tees had special sym- bolic meanings, while others ex- pressed simple ideas that the wearers felt strongly about. Most of all, the tee-shirts were about the times we live in. The late 1980's have been some strange years. Music has changed, with heavy-metal be- coming quite popular, and most Top Forty losing momentum, while British music, such as the Smiths, has become extremely cool. TV shows like Thirty- Something, The Wonder Years, and China Beach have taken a new road into the living rooms of American families. And MTV remains a favorite logo, along with the Hard Rock Cafe. Sayings seen on tee-shirts have also changed. A tee worn in the sixties might have made a bold political state- ment by saying ‘‘Make love — not w ar,” but a popular tee of today usually is a play on words and says something like “Get high on milk, Our cows are on grass.” Still, the traditional tye-dyed tee-shirt continues to survive. Tomorrow, the tees we wear proudly today, we may burn, but Tee- shirt Day will always represent each person’s individuality, and most im- portantly be a symbol of the things that were in style on that day. — Bobbie Jo Clawson

Piggin’ out with Robin Gaines! Some shirts just beg to be noticed, as is the case with this screamin’ bright pink pig. The question that plagues Wally Sanders and Ms. Sauder the most — ‘‘Where was George?” Well, that question might not have been answered in pee but as of January 20, 1989, he’s in the White ouse. “Feelin’ groovy! ’ Susannah Gordon's tie-dye tee-shirt seems very appropriate as the colorful shirts once again become the thing to wear. “It's them dang raisins! ’ Some students, such as Freshman Sammi Ruley like to wear the ever- popular California raisins just like the ones on T.V.!
