Rainy Halloween draws cruisers Low Turnout At Dance It was a rainy, gloomy night, a typical Halloween night. October 30 marked the day the Future Homemakers of America sponsored the first ever Halloween dance. Witches, gypsies, wizards, mice and punk rockers, along with many other cos- tumes were seen at the dance. The best dressed award for the boys went to Soph- omore Bret Lingle who was dressed as a skeleton, and for the girls Sophomore Kim Humpal won with her mouse costume. “When I heard my name announced, I couldn’t believe it! I just stood there in a daze, explained Kim. “I was a little dis- appointed that not very many people were there, but if we have another dance next year, I hope people will get into the Halloween spirit.” Due to the low turnout the FHA club lost about $100 according to sponsor Jacque Gaebel. “The people that were there had a really good time, but I think it’s also disappointing that there were so few there.” Junior Sheri Morehead was disappointed at the turnout and explained the reason for the low turnout, “I don’t think there were that many people that showed up because of the day it was on and because of the weather.” The dance was eventful and not all was lost. There were good choices of music and I had a lot of fun,” explained Senior Brenda Ostrom. FHA is optimistic and hopefully next year’s dance will be bigger and even better.

From clothes, shoes to jewelry, music PHS Students Are In Fashion-conscious students roamed the halls of PHS sporting their “in” duds wherever they went. One of the biggest fashion crazes this year was what was known as frosted den- im. It was everywhere. There were frosted jeans, shirts, shoes, purses, jackets, dresses and jewelry. Another big thing this year was shoes. They came in every shape, color and tex- ture imaginable. Exotic animal skins such as lizard, snakeskin and ostrich were sure hits. Some shoes were dressed up with sequins, patches, rhinestones and hand- painted designs. Moccasins and cowboy boots with fringe were a hot look, too. This year’s variation for jeans was any- thing but new. “Old” was in. People bought brand new jeans that came al- ready stretched, washed, worn and torn. Faded jeans and holes in the knees were big. Jackets were seen everywhere. The big leather bomber jackets were seen more frequently; and of course, jean jackets were more popular than ever. Expensive brand names like Guess and Forenza were a hot item. “In” fragrances included Polo for guys and Giorgio for girls. Music is something that is a big part of most people’s lives, and this year saw many old songs revived by new artists. Songs like “Wipe Out”, redone by the Fat Boys; “Mony Mony”, rereleased by Billy Idol; and “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”, revived by Kim Wilde were smashes all over again. As far as what’s out, well, you might as well throw away those old gym shoes, flowered jeans, stirrup pants and old Mi- chael Jackson records. Seniors April Beasley and Cindy Toman find a quiet room to call the spirits to talk to them through their Ouija board. Many of these boards were seen throughout the hall- ways and classrooms of PHS this year. 16 What's In What's Out
