WIFI U ' Y 'U ID A qi Double-Pierced Ears, Gold Neck Chains For The In-Crowd Remember when mood rings and I.D. bracelets were necessi- ties? This year delicate gold neck chains and earrings for double- pierced ears took their places in the ever-changing world of fashion. It has been said that nothing is ever really new in fashion. The popularity this year of straight-legged jeans, spike-heeled shoes and skirts with pleats and slits would tend to give support to this statement. For many PHS students, clothes were more than just clothes. At times the crowds of students walking through the hallways were like animated billboards. Signatures of famous fashion de- signers such as Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Pierre Cardin and names of popular products such as Adidas, Honda, and Coke decorated T-shirts, hats, and the pockets of students' jeans and shirts. T-shirts were also a means of advertising favorite rock groups, slang, and political opinions. More than a few T-shirt designs were Later. Kick booty. Oh, heck. lt's Monday! t T. G. I. F.

' Let's book. That's cosmic., inspired by the Iranian crisis and the national Presidential cam- paign. Sometimes a hint of the West was evident in students' attire. Cowboy boots and hats were worn frequently by many students. Although no PHS students were seen sporting crew cuts this year, shorter hair for boys was definitely the trend. French braids for girls and perms for both boys and girls were also very popu- lar. Many students and several staff members had Afro hair styles. The only prediction which one can make about next year's fads and fashions is that they will probably not be unique. Fads and fashions tend to be cyclical: the same styles reappearing every twenty years or so, adopted by generations of consumers too young to recall their previous popularity. Who knows, maybe in twenty years todayls PHS students can take their high school clothes out of moth balls and wear them once again! by K. Enlow and B. Hardy F. Signatures of famous designers such as Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, and Pierre Cardin decorate the back right pockets of 'Lstatus jeans. Students pay S36 to S50 for the thrill of wearing a designer label. G. Double-pierced ears are seen frequently at PHS. Usually a smaller, simpler earring is worn in the top hole, while the bottom hole is reserved for a larger, more ostentatious earring. Fads and Fashions 21 7 ,,.,,7 , , 4 ,

AIC f Mfllfllll .. .. .. - All The World's A Stage For Some Thespians When some people hear the term drama, they think of memorizing lines and performing. Certainly those are impor- tant concerns of an actor, but there are many other aspects of theatre which are studied at PHS. This year students had an opportunity to learn about and to participate in plays both in drama classes and in Thespian Club, both activities were su- pervised by Mr. Charles Hughes. In Stagecraft class, students learned how to design and construct sets, how to apply make-up, how to design simple lighting techniques, and how to do other things which are essential if a final dramatic production is to be a success. In Drama I, students learned the basics of pantomine and acting in simple scenes. Acting lI enabled students to know how to act in more complicated scenes. In Play Production, a class for seniors only, students chose, produced, and directed a play which was then presented to students and faculty in the drama department. Students who wanted more involvement in drama than a fifty-five minute class period would allow, joined the Thespian Club. One of the busiest extracurricular activities in the school, the Thespian Club, presented two major productions this year, Come Blow Your Horn and The Pajama Game. In addi- tion, many of the members attended the International Thespi- an Convention in Muncie, Indiana, in the late spring. The Thespian Club is a member of the National Thespian Troupe Number 1934, and as such was on of the largest and most successful high school acting groups in Missouri. By M.
