ou won't find a definition of The Tar Side in the dictionary but everyone Knows what it is. It's wild, fun, and off the wall. It's different. It's Mound Westonka. How did we get on The Tar Side? Well, for one thing, we are on the far side of Lake Minnetonka. When we told people we were from Mound we usually needed to explain, Close to Orono or 'Ten minutes west of Wayzata, or On Lake Minnetonka. Then people would know where Mound was. Hot only are we geographically located on The Tar Side, but this year students' tastes ran in that direction. Grateful Dead followers or Dead Heads were not the norm for high school students, but they put us on The Far Side here. The Far Side of fashion this year dictated short hair for boys and short skirts for girls. Our hall monitors were never on The Far Side with their new walkie-talkies, Oh, you're cool! The new attendance policy said it was not fashionable to be on The Far Side for more than ten days per semester. We stayed on The Far Side during Homecoming week: evening coronation, senior girls winning Powder-Puff honestly. Bozo on Slave-Day, and the wild way we whacked Waconia. Sweet! What was happening beyond The Far Side this year? U2 tickets sold out just as quickly as last year's Bon Jovi tickets. The disposable camera hit the market. Jim and Tammy Baker (PTL) hit the road. Hero Ollie Horth hit the headlines. Whitesnake hit the charts. The Vikings hit the picketline and the Twins hit the big time!!! As the Church Lady says, Well, isn't that special?
