Progress seen in fashion review Showing how ho fools about the Iranian crisis and feeling comfortable at the same time is junior Mark Holland. Lookin’ so good that they can apparently walk by themselves are these shoes that were typical of the ones that all the ‘fashionable’ wore. Pointing out some points of English to fellow junior Jenny Rust is Steve Gray. He is wearing another new fad this year-surgeon’s shirts. Jenny is looking pretty in a blouse, blazer, and skirt outfit. 12 Student Life

Buying a formal and renting a tux. Ordering flowers and planning parties. Getting a bid and making dinner reservations. These, along with a few other details, come together to make up the annual event called ‘Prom.' ‘Paragon’ was the featured band at last year’s prom which was attended by 153 couples. Multi-colored streamers, a glowing rainbow, and a pale-blue, star-covered background aided in carrying out the theme of ‘Colour My World.' Graduate Theresa Brown was crowned queen of the 1980 Prom with fellow graduates Therese Manning, Melodee Kennedy, Judy Cos-sart, and Jerilyn Fennell serving as her court. One of the other highly-memorable evenings of last spring (especially in the minds of the seniors) was graduation. 314 seniors went through the awe-inspiring ‘changing-of-the-tassel’ celebration. This symbolized the ending of twelve long years of homework, tests, and studying and should have left everyone with a feeling of glad ness, yet many were in tears. 'We've Only Just Begun’ was established as the theme for last year's graduation with the three valedictorians being Jane Gilkison, Nila McDaniel, and Brenda Oakley. Jane, Nila, and Brenda as well as Jon Vanderhill were the student speakers for the evening’s proceedings which were again held in Ball State’s Emen's Auditorium. Sitting pretty and almost ready to go is senior Jenny Crim as she completes the last part of her pre-prom preparations. ‘Proud as a peacock' is Bret Newkirk as he receives his diploma and walks off stage as a high school graduate. Making final adjustments before they begin to take part in the graduation ceremony sre these 1980 grads. Student Life 11

“Fashion 1980 saw the breakthrough of the classic or ‘preppie’ look. One of the many new sophisticated looks for girls was a Shetland sweater teamed with a matching blazer and a plaid wool skirt. Guys opted for the masculine 'western' look. Straight-leg jeans or cords with a plaid shirt was a favorite. A pair of cowboy boots really added to the western image for the guys. Gals and guys alike really made tracks in their boat shoes or 'dock-siders’ along with the always present tennis shoes. Still hitting the scene in girl’s footwear were the ever-popular clogs and spikes as well as the new cowboy boot trend. Friday was unofficially dubbed ‘Bum Day.' Students found that t-shirts combined with overalls, jeans, or painter pants helped keep them comfortable and set the mood for after school and weekend activities. In hair, all kinds of braids, beads, and bows were used for highlighting a style. Perms were back again and ranged from tight, kinky waves to soft, loose curls. Guys this year leaned away from the fro” and toward the neater, feathered look. Bumming it up on a relaxed Friday is junior Jill Moore as she takes a break from her routine at the voting booth. ‘10’ looks needed the help of a friend to keep them in order. Here freshman Sharon Whitelow gets her hair fixed by fellow freshman Lachelle Wolfe. Ready for the range is senior Adam Boling as he demonstrates that classical western look that was very popular Student Life 13
