1 Jay cont. Everyday schedules were always being disrupted. Snow days, club days, pep rally days, and please-let-us- out-of-school-early days were just a few. Pep rallys provided some much needed noise to over-worked stu¬ dents on Fridays. Club days got students out of classes, and also sent some people running to look for lost club cards. How many students know the experience of a clean locker? Not many. Few peo¬ ple found it easy to open a locker jammed with books and coats, have it fall out in the locker bank, stuff it back in, and get to class in five minutes. School days, dead-end days. Students moaned and groaned each morning at 8:55, but did not have to force a smile when they heard familiar words “Get off the grass!” On Strike? Not Quite!

r After the Party ' s Over, Senior Da¬ vid Jones attempts to undo the mess of clothes in the choir room after the show. It was all a part of “get¬ ting into it” for spring. Ev¬ erything was new, fresh, and bright as the lights that flooded the stage of the Lit¬ tle Theatre. From the mad scramble backstage, the models emerged, showing everything from short sets to wedding attire. The spring fashion show, “Sassy Sensations,” was a way for students, teachers, and the audience to get into spring fashion. Before a small crowd of fashion enthusiasts, the cur¬ tain opened and fashion merchandising teacher Miss Vicki Lawson began the show against a background of bright flowers. The pro- Just Hangln’ Around — Formal gowns wait patiently in the band- room to be modeled in the formal section of the Fashion show. The New Look cession of models made their track across the stage just like the most elaborate fashion show that Paris has to offer. However, these models were a bit different. Faculty members, along with student models, were selected by the fashion mer¬ chandising classes to be part of the grand event. Getting into the fashion show bu siness was no sim¬ ple task, of course. Before the models could parade across the stage and show their “sassy sensations,” a tremendous amount of plan¬ ning had been done. Besides selecting their models, fash¬ ion merchandising students also voted to use the theme of “Sassy Sensations” and the huge plants as their decorations. After securing models, the next logical task was to secure the fashions to be modeled. Local clothing businesses donated sample fashions, and those who agreed to display their wares allowed the models to try on clothes and select the fashions to be shown. Stu¬ dent model Barbie Clemson said, “We had some really nice clothes to model from the various fashion stores. We couldn’t have had a suc¬ cessful show without their help!” The models, both male and female, descended on the participating stores and chose fashions of nearly ev¬ ery description. Every spring look was represent¬ ed, from the “preppie” to the “not so preppie.” There was the elegance of formal evening attire and the infor¬ mality of the nautical look in shorts and tops. It was ex¬ citing for the participants and entertaining for the au¬ dience. Miss Vicki Lawson said, “This fashion show was by far the best and most successful we have done,” and junior Shelia Popp add¬ ed, “It was a lot of hard work, a challenging experi¬ ence, and I loved it!” Dressed up or dressed down, it was all a part of “getting into” spring fashions. 18 Fashion Show
