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.

Actors PRrform To Audience eated Of] Stage Four drama students take honors in UIL One Act Play competition. Marion Jarrell Students heard plenty of announcements about them, posters were seen in the halls commanding attendance or else , but did anyone really know what to expect upon entering the auditorium to view a drama production? The year ' s plays took on a different look as a new concept for seating took the form of theater in the round. Members of the au- dience were arranged informally on the stage. We felt this would help the crowd become better involved with the play ' s plot. It proved to be very successful, explained John Money. God ' s Favorite was the first presentation of the year. Matt Darr, the messenger from heaven, and Derek Welch, playing Joe, handled the lead spots. I was not real big on Neil Simon, the author, but this play was lots of fun, explained Welch. The Man Who Came to Dinner, a com- edy set in the 1940 ' s was the second produc- tion. The plot revolved around a can- tankerous celebrity who attends a dinner party, has an accident, and must remain with his hosts during his recuperation. And, Beloved Betrayer was performed as competition for UIL. Seven students were in the cast. Of those, Scott Ballant, Barbara Lewis, and Eric Jensen received Honorable Mention, while Amy Pratter was awarded membership in the All Star Cast. Practice and competition paid off, not as well as we hoped, but we did our best and had fun. That was all that really mattered, explain- ed Pratter Above Left: Eric Jensen and Barbara Lewis portray disciples in Beloved BetrayerJphoto by Ed Holmes Above Center: India Craft performs in The Man Who Came to Dinner. pholo by Erik Gotlleib Above Right: Donna Kinsey reacts during a perfor- mance, photo by Jamifa Lindsey Having performed th part you rehearsedfo weeks and hearing th audience react was fantastic experience, John Mone] Junio photo bif Jennifer Linds( 24 drama productions
