Lor I Hunt Students from every class, teachers, guest speakers, band members, Cardettes, cheerleaders, and Big Mac Keepers all gathered at 3 pm in the Field House for pep rallies every Friday for 12 weeks. They screamed, chanted, and cheered. Traditionally, classes competed for the spirit stick. Trying to out do the other classes was the highlight of all pep rallies, remarked Sophomore Sandi Dixon. Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors each competed with their own style. Freshmen showed their enthusiasm through spray painted jeans, shirts, and numerous signs. Sophomores chose Earnest, the spokesperson for Braum ' s, to represent their spirit. Juniors adopted the title of Pep Boys. Seniors displayed painted jeans, masks, and Supercard Shirts. Cheerleaders and Big MacKeepers arous- ed school spirit as they led the students in catchy cheers. Cardettes added a moment of entertainment by performing various routines to the beat of the band. The last pep rally before state playoffs belonged to the Seniors. The Senior Cardet- tes performed, while Varsity Cheerleaders and Big Mac Keepers presented a skit en- titled, Heaven in ' 87 to the song Memories . Being called to the floor, Seniors stood in a circle for the annual Senior Ring.

Alligator Replaced by Triangle Fashion signifies more than what a person wears. Jana Wickham Whether attention getters, or followers of the crowd, students competed to flaunt the most recent styles. With the opening of the Hard Rock Cafe in Dallas, students appeared right and left sporting the restaurant ' s T-shirts andsweat- shirts. Corona Beach Club and Spuds McKenzie T-shirts became popular as well. Some students owned more pairs of shoes than any other article of clothing. Boots, high-tops, Reeboks, and sandals kept Car- dinals in the latest footwear. Freshman Cin- dy Harwell commented, My red high-tops were my favorite pair of shoes. I wore them when I was in a crazy mood or when I was bored with my regular style of dressing. Forenza, Esprit, and Generra surfaced as expensive, but sought after, lines for the young prep. As for yuppies, alligators and polo players were slightly less dominant on apparel, but plaid definitely prevailed. Plaid representative Jon Vera remarked, My bright plaid pants probably amused some. but I also got compliments. Stirrup pants, overalls, stonewash jeans, and pegged, or rolled up, jeans emerged as favorites among the high school group. The infamous Guess triangle took form on jeans, jackets, and overalls. Those who chose to break through the triangle of spiffy threads relaxed at school in sweats. Adventure seekers chose to create their own styles instead of going with the flow. Sophomore Marc Lewis invented his own line of generic T-shirts, taking plain white shirts and spashing expressions of creativi- ty on them with black paint. Senior James Liebbe made his fashion statement with the word Person printed across his image with white pants and black combat boots.
