On Your Mark; Get Set; But . . It always seemed as soon as one had to rush to an important engage- ment in five minutes, there were a mil- lion things to do. The shirt one wanted to wear was being drowned in the washing machine. On top of that, the gas tank just happened to be empty. In the beginning there was darkness, but then along came Ben Franklin who discovered the hottest thing since the campfire, electricity. The boom be- gan. Blow dryers, hot rollers, curling irons, electric shavers, hot combs, electric tooth-brushes, lighted mirrors, and unfortunately, our morning en- emy, the digital clock radio, suddently appeared on the scene. Putting on her eyermer, Brenda Santerre, junior, gets ready to go to school, Brian Santerre, junior, eats his breakfast before going to school. Were we taking General Electric for granted? It was estimated that the average student spent approximately 298 hours in one year just getting ready for the halls of PMHS. This was only with the introduction of many newer electric gadgets most students use everyday. If there were to be a black-out tomorrow morning, would you be ready by 7:40? But this was only part of getting ready. Plays, musicals, the Aquatide show, and other annual performances would have been different without the many dedicated hours the sound and light crews spent just preparing for the success of these productions. jjSUfc .„ t. ■-». 26 Behind The Scenes

To Dressier Look For 80 ' s CO C o to O The fashion scene had taken a dras- tic turn around. Suddenly, students were dressing up more. The dressy look was in, yet the casual feeling was de- manded by students and more ties and skirts appeared on PM ' s scene. For guys, comfortable front-pleated pants and plush velour shirts were pop- ular. Corduroy pants and bulky, multi- colored sweaters remained stylish as the federal government mandated that school thermostats be turned back to 65 degrees. Skirts made a dramatic comeback this season. Full skirts, straight skirts. pleated skirts, slit skirts, many styles of skirts were in. Many skirts were wool including brightly colored plaids. No fashion wardrobe was complete without a blazer. Colorful wool, plaid blazers were the most versatile types as several solid color skirts and pants were easily coordinated with them. Shorter wrap-jackets were also fash- ionable, especially with skirts. Still into jeans? From Sassoon to Cal- vin Klein to Levi ' s to Pierre Cardin, de- signer jeans were a hit with many PM students. 28 Fads With her hair French-braided, a double wrap belt, and slit jeans, senior Dianna Mohr is in style.
