What's lel... What's Not... One of the key concerns for students in 1984 was fashion. New fads, such as Break dancing and the popular game Trivial Pur- suit, were ushered in with enthusiasm. Tra- ditions such as long Homecoming dresses were booted out the door. Students were ready for the fashion changes and adapted well. One of the big- gest shifts of popularity was from listening to music on the radio to watching Music Television. For many, the “‘soaps’’ took a back seat to MTV. Other changes were evident in clothing and jewelry. Whatever was ‘in’ in 1984 was definitely HOT. Showing Their Stuff, Thomi Hauston and K.C. Carter demonstrate the current steps of Break Danc- ing. Give Me a Hug! Danny Fisher and Kelly Hathaway wear clothes that were common to most students in 1984, Wearing Their Favorite Trinkets, Amy Bucklin and Julie Williams display the latest in costume jewel- ry, while Jennifer Tolpi sticks to the old-fashioned “real”’ jewelry. 16 Fads

SURES we Sadie Hawkins offered a new and different experience. This year’s theme was ‘come in your favorite beach attire.’’ Many wore shorts, beach shirts and sunglasses. Also, to add to this change of theme, a D.J. con- test was introduced. Instead of hiring a professional D.J., students played the mu- sic. All the participants had a certain amount of time to play their music and to show how well they could mix the music. Many dancers liked the variety of the mu- sic played by Paula and Amy Bucklin. Asa result, they were the winners of the D.]. contest. Lancers made comments about the D.J. contest and Sadie Hawkins: ‘The variety of music was super great, com- mented lantha Finley. ‘The idea of going to Sadie Hawkins in beach attire was really a different idea,’’ repeated Johnny McGill; and Karen Akins said, “'I really like Tracy Jude's style and his music was great.” The Junior Class sponsor, Mr. Jim Henry, often referred to as ‘‘Captain Chemistry,”’ strolled through the crowd in his personal- ized beach clothes. His color coordinated blaze orange bathrobe and clashing towel drew considerable attention as he chaper- oned the Lancer beach bums.” Greg Roberts, one of the D.J.’s got a little extra help from Paula Brooks. Jeanna Saunders, Julie Lamen and their dates sit to rest for a moment. 18 Sadie Hawkins
