The student body of Mountain View began to fill the bleachers of the gym. Elbow room was not a thing to be expected. Everyone's spirit ran high, including the sophomores, who finally felt like they were part of the school. In the Hello Assembly thejun- iors and seniors helped the student council humiliate the sophomores. This was done by putting down their clothes, food, transportation, music, and last but not least, their atti- tudes. Sophomore Sara CDeBaca said it didn't really bother her that much, because it was something that they do every year and when the sophomores are juniors and become seniors they will probably do the samef' Not all assemblies were alike, That's a TEN -- These spirited seniors show their scores for the new Junior Varsity Cheerleaders perfomance of a routine at the first assembly. The Rabbit Drag -- A the Mesa High School pep assembly. seniors Duke Rottweiler and Darron Gillespie show how psyched-up they are. but the effect on the crowds always seemed to be the same. The cheers, chants and shouts from the crowd let everyone know the true school spirit that was found at Mountain View. Several skits and games took place during each assembly. During the first assembly the student council put on a skit called Family Feud. This was done by having the members of student council split up into three teams, each team representing a class. Each class was asked several questions, and it was to answer to the best of its ability. The seniors took first, juniors second, and last but not least the sophomores. Another event was the Shoe Hunt. The student council chose several students from each class and made them take their shoes off. Then the shoes were placed at the other end of the gym. A mad scramble ensued with each person running to find and put on his or her shoes, but of course the results were the same. The only thing senior Lynde Austin could think was, 'gWhere are my shoes? I have to find my shoes. In the second assembly, rabbit season opened. While the crowd cheered for our football team, little stuffed jackrabbits tied on ropes were being battered all around, but the highlight was a tiny jackrabbit being dragged behind a little pink re- mote control car owned by Duke Rottweiler. At the third assembly two spir- ited Torols, Ken Henderson and Darron Gillespie, donned their cheerleading outfits with their daz- zling, long underwear, and assisted the varsity cheerleaders in a spirit- boosting cheer and pyramid. Ken and Darron also impressed the crowd with their handstands and cart- wheels. Along with the skits and dances Homecoming invitations were being brought about through serenades and signs.

Spikes, chains, and leather -- The punk look is popular every year, sopho- more Shaylynn Reynolds andjunior Kevin Kolstea show the newest fashion. pr' The variety of clothes and hairstyles worn by the students on campus was as great as their imagi- nation. It was as senior Shauna Newby said, Everyone basically wore whatever they wanted to wear. E v e n Students Sffllf 116730 though there wasnit any par- ticular fad that swept over the school, there were a few predomi- nant styles. In accessso- ries, hair bows were the thing. styles They could be fancy or simple, plain or printed, and lace or cotton. Reebok, Converse and Keds dominated as tennis shoes. For more formal shoes penny loafers and tex- tured flats were seen on campus. -tt... J Again boots were in, but they were usually cut lower than regular cow- boy boots. The biggest comeback was made by miniskirts and cropped tops. They were made out of fabrics ranging anywhere from fleece to lightweight cotton. For guys' clothes, Andy Peter- son thought they were good this year. He said, Most jeans were rolled up and any type of shirt wentf' Surfer shorts and t-shirts were still popular and worn by both guys and girls. The most commonly seen hairstyle on campus -for guys was short and neat. It was usually parted on the side. For girls long hair came back in again. It was either a long bob with bangs or feathered back on the sides. Perms were also very popular to add body. The fall fashion show dis- played both common and unusual styles. The clothes were supplied by lintiwi 2 The Gap, Units, and The Bridal Shop. The styles the models wore were picked out byTacy Shepherdis Inside Fashion and Fabrics Class. The ten guys and ten girls picked , had only three practices be- fore the final show. Senior Laurie Brouwer said, I was nervous be- cause we had to improvise on what we did, but that was what made it so much fun. The girls modeled three differ- ent outfitsg one each from Units,The Gap and The Bridal Shop. The guys wore two outfits, one from The Gap and a tuxedo. Laurie Brouwer also said, I thought the lighting and music was really good. It fit together just right. Charles Ballard especially did a wonderful job with the sound sys- tem.
