Taking advantage of Senior Privileges, Gregg Knaupe drives off in this 87' Pre- lude to get ready for a hot date. Dos and Purses, Privileges, Preludes Students set the pace for What' s Hot he C1rove's Friday after- noon bell rings. You grab your Furskins lunch box, run to the parking lot, and jump into your Honda Prelude. You squeal onto the road and confront your rearview mirror on how the bow in your hair looks. At the intersection of Rich- mond and McKnight, the guy you've had a crush on for two years pulls up beside you in his Toyota Supra. He rolls down the window and yells, 'iHey! What are you doing tonight? You could die! Rushing home, you picture your closet in your mind. Pearl barrettes, rhi- nestones, denim, and silver shoes race through your head. 28 Student Life Whats Hot? All of the above. The hottest items, from slang to style, were created by PG stu- dents. Every weekend students went to a movie, usually fol- lowed by a stop at a favorite hang out. ul liked driving through XBK' and going to An- imal Housejust to see who was out, said Rebecca Sims. The movies to see were Aliens, Star Trek llL Ferris Buel- Ier's Day off and Top Gun, just to name a few. Ann Thomas said, The movies to see are the ones which make you cry at the end. Other items were more in- tangible. 'lSenior privileges were hot, said Gregg Knaupe. ULeaving at 2:15 was a lot more fun than an hour of athletics. Weekends were also the time for hot concerts. The more fortunate students traveled to Shreveport to hear Bon Jovi, Journey, David Lee Roth, and other favorites. 'ilt's fun to see all the wild and outrageous peo- ple who go to concerts, Ronda Coleman said. Your evening's over. You head for your bedroom, plop down on your paisley bedspread, and kick off your Justin Ropers. As you reflect on the evening you've spent, you realize it was a really hot night. - Bethany Goff Don'ts .

Lip syncs, loud music, lights out . . . Is it madness or just l Hard Rock? ondon. Stockholm. New York. Dallas. Pleasant Grove. Talk about Hot Spots! Hard Rock invaded the Hot Spot on the night of April 25th for the third annual April Mad- ness Dance. The dance was sponsored by the Student Council and had the theme Hard Rock Cafe. Hard Rock Cafe-Pleasant Grove shirts were also sold during the week and at the dance for 57.50. The dance included a lip sync contest with acts such as David Lee Roth, the Jackson Five, the Raisins, Stryper, Jan- et Jackson, Madonna, the Boys From Delta House, the Shangrilas, and the Beastie Boys who went on to win the lip sync. For the first time in P.G. history, selected students as well as faculty were allowed to judge the lip sync acts. One of thejudges, Amy Copeland said, I thought it was a good idea to have student judges because we know what the majority of the student body likes. More than pride was at stake for the performer. There was a little money involved. First place re- ceived 55O, second place re- ceived 515, and third place got 510. The overall contest was won by the Beastie Boys, singing Fight For Your Right to Party. The Beastie Boys were made up of John Simpson, Keith Wood, Charles Young, Tommy Coleman, Dan Owens and John Hodges. Second place went to the Shangrilas who had a surprise member, Pleasant Groves very own junior En- glish teacher, Mrs. Karen Hundley. Third place, straight out of Animal House, went to the Boys From Delta House, singing Shout. Even Mr. Hailey said that the dance was one of the best yet. But what students consid- ered fun was the invitation to dance. lt started when Ed Zidd and The Boys from Delta House, invited the audience onto the stage to shout. From then on students crowd- ed to join the contestants. Principals and faculty ordered students off of the stage be- cause ofthe wood grain floor. 'll thought the dance was one of the biggest and best yet. Ev- eryone seemed to be enjoying themselves without too many problems, said principal Mr. Roger Hailey. Ed Zidd and the Boys from Delta House tell everyone to Shout a lit- tle bit louder. He later invited every- one on stage to shout with the group. Standing arm in arm, the Flints- tones and the Rubbles pose for a shapshot to give to Pebbles and Bam-Bam. Waiting for the Leader of the Pack. the Shangrilas were into the April Madness Dance. They placed second in the annual contest. Egtudent Life I Page S
