Stand up and cheer — Most seniors do just that when Derrick Lewis brings in the senior class float during the Homecoming pep rally. Child of darkness — Regina Seitz dresses for punk day during spirit dress-up days. These dress-up days were sponsored by the Pep Club. For me? Adrianne Claytor gives Mrs. Hester flowers to show appreciation for the work she has done. Freshmen have spirit, too — Connie Webb works on the freshman float for the competition between classes. If I’d known you were cornin’, I’d have baked a cake — Gwen Harmon and Michaela Stanley decorate the freshman lockers for home¬ coming week. PULASKI CO.

Celebrate, con’t. October 23 — Dear Diary, Today we had the big pep rally. The band performed, the cheerleaders did a pom pon routine, Coach Hicks gave a pep talk, and the floats were paraded about in the gym. Mr. Mont Quesen- berry announced the winners of the var¬ ious competitions held during the week. It had rained all day, but the game must go on. Although it was 0-0 by the end of the second quarter, the half-time activities made a score with the crowd. The band played as the girls on the homecoming court were driven in Cor¬ vettes around the track. The homecom¬ ing court was announced, and then the game began again. We won this district game against Northside 3-0 with a field goal by Chris Kinzer. October 24 — Dear Diary, Tonight was the big dance. The band “Just Us’’ played as students and graduates danced to the music. The homecoming court was announced: king and queen were Joe Blankenship and Autti Hyde; prince and princess were Sherill Holston and Vanessa Goad; and duke and duchess were Ran¬ dall Hodges and Robyn Walker. Home¬ coming was an activity-filled week with a memory-filled weekend. Hey Mr. Balloon-man — Senior Neil Kegley releases the balloons at the Homecoming football game. The Cougars won the game 3-0. cont. 28 Student Life

f-ig Leaves To Levi’s Levi’s dominated the jean scene — Jor- dache and designers were for some, but Mike Parks wears his Levi’s. What was the most difficult decision of the morning for most students and teachers? Was it whether to use a flu¬ oride toothpaste or one with a gel? No! Was it whether to eat a bowl of Life ce¬ real or let Mikey eat it? No! The most pressing decision was what to wear. This decision was hard because there were so many different fashionable styles. Today’s styles include the west¬ ern look, classics, preppie clothes, new wave and punk styles, and casual wear. Clothes just were not fig leaves any¬ more. The western look gained popularity after such movies as “Urban Cowboy” and “The Electric Horseman” were shown on the silver screen. Since then, cowboy hats and cowboy boots have been worn by all types of people, from John Travolta to J.R. Ewing. Preppies were animal lovers. That was easily concluded from the fact that they wore alligators, ducks, whales, frogs, and hippos on all types of cloth¬ ing. From button-downs to docksides, preppies wore bright colors. Really, pink and green were prep to the “max”. Getting back down to earth, the one article of clothing most seen on a stu¬ dent or teacher was a pair of jeans. The most popular blue jeans in town were Levi’s. Most cowboys wore Wrangler and Levi, while preps were seen in Cal¬ vin Klein’s, Gloria Vanderbilt’s, or Sas- son’s. Let’s face it though, “Lee fits America”. Riding High — Sandy Frye shows off cowboy boots and cowboy hat on Handsome while Joe Guthrie awaits with his jeans and jean jacket. Dressing to impress — Prep was popular this year. Katrina Cockeran and Kaye Thompson are preppie in their skirts and espadrilles. Mike Scott and Regina Brumfield are dressed in yellow but¬ ton-downs and green pants while T.J. Sneli mod¬ els designer jeans, a button-down and docksides. Gone were the days of the hoop skirt and mini-skirt. Here today were just-be- low-the-knee skirts and dresses. Today the word for ties was thin, not bow or wide. Somber colors were a thing of the past, as pinks, lavenders, greens, and yellows descended. The sloppy look was out, and neat was in. Shaggy hair was rarely seen, and the short, clipped look abounded. Jewelry achieved new significance and a female ear without an earring was seldom seen. Whether you were at home on the range in Levi jeans, or a punky purple pantsuit, there were many fashions to wear. 1 m ■ ;k! 11 i jHl 1 30 Student Life
