Sophomores Travis Barlow and Kathy Moore enjoy a slow dance at an October sock hop. F . Llninhibited dancing New sounds When you hear the words sock hop, you automatically think of loud music, people do- ing outrageously wild dances, and shoes lying around in the gym foyer - lots of shoes. A new tradition was started for proof of payment at sock hops. After walking in the foyer door and paying the S2 cover charge, instead of last year's usual stamp on the back side of the hand, students were greet- ed with a, No, we don't do it there anymore and got stamped on the inner wrist. The Carrollton Police Depart- ment came to the sock hops to at sock hops ensure that campus rules were being followed. School Re- source Officer James Shields was there also. The Senior Executive Com- mittee acquired new sound equipment with which to play better music. Senior Executive Committee member Susannah Webb commented, People complained about the music, but there's no way we can please everyone. No matter what kind of mu- sic was played, there seemed to be people dancing everywhere you turned.

Popular with the students were big belts, which senior Wendi Washam displays. Original fashion Jeans retain popularity Originality was the name of the game in fashion this year. Students wore what they want- ed, whether it was a trend or their own original ideas. One trend that was popular with the guys and the girls was last year's ever-so-popular Guess Jeans. By taking those jeans from last year and ripping them up, students created a new look. The girls went for those out- rageous mini-skirts this year. Flats, big purses, and lots of accessories completed the look. Bugle Boy was the tune for the guys this year. By rolling up the bottom of their pant legs, the guys showed off their very fashionable Zodiac shoes. The shaved hairstyle was in for the guys - this is where they got original. Some accessories that were in this year were bows, dress boots, and wooden jewelry. Es- pree, Guess, Bugle Boy, Gen- era, Code Bleu, and Forenza were some popular brand names on the student body. No matter what they wore, it seemed like everyone was in fashion this year. While walking to his class with his friend, soph- omore Rob Thomas shows off the cowboy look. Junior Deanne Moore and freshman Amy Johnston demonstrate the long look in I2 Fads and Fashions dresses.
