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

Keep It Alive Spring made one feel like dancing, but dancing for at least eleven hours? Thirty-four people did just that at the March of Dimes’ dance-a-thon held last spring in the Com¬ mons Area. It was sponsored by the Key Club; and although club member Tom Wallace said the turnout was “somewhat disappointing,” Si, 982 was col¬ lected for MDA, enough to pur¬ chase four wheelchairs and send two kids to MDA camp. The Marchof Dimes Walk-a- thon was far from a leisurely Sunday stroll. The 659 people participating put one foot in front of the other and trudged for eighteen kilometers! But the sore feet went for a good cause. $19,120 was pledged for the w alk, and Pulaski County was recognized as having pledged the most money in the Radford region. The Walk-a- thon was also a club sponsored event, this time by the FBLA. “Award-winning was the word for the spring one act play “The Brick and The Rose.” Di¬ rected by Mr. Quesenberry and Ms. Ballinger, the play won re- gionals. Ms. Ballinger ex¬ pressed her pleasure wdth the play by saying, “It was even more than I expected.” Mr. Quesenberrj ' agreed and added, “The cast was very conscien¬ tious and compatible.” YAM was not May spelled backwards or a new punk rock group. It was actually Youth Art Month. During this time, the art students held a student art show in the IMC for the first time in the school’s history, and put up a bulletin board of the Mona Lisa in the Commons Area. Later in the month, Mona received a pair of silver punk glasses. The students also re¬ leased approximately 250 bal¬ loons as a contest to see which traveled the longest distance. Diane Glasgow won when her balloon landed twenty miles south of Petersburg.
