Stuff lik«' what? What is the most popular hair style? What length art the dresses and how straight are the jean legs? How high are the shoes and how muscular is macho? Whether strolling through the commons before first jieriod or on the dance floor at a Friday night diseo. the lat- «•st fads and fashions added colo and zeal to the otherwise monotonous student life. Kinky perms and hair comItsdom mated the latest hair styles among the girls, while guys stuck to the traditional team jackets and rolled jeans. Girls fashions seemed to he more prevalent with rabbit jackets on top in the w inter, and Gandies” shoes covered bv rolled up California straight-leg jeans in the spring. Movies such as Gr« asc anil Saturday Night Fever had major effects on student fashion trends. Grease promoted the kinky perms and single pig tails worn on the side, while Saturday Night Fever” prompted slinky material such as pleated pants, wrap-around skirts, shiny belts and mini-purses, all for eas- ier movement under the bright lights of the ever dominant disco seme.

The Revised State Last Tuesday night President Carter came over national tele- vision with his annual State of the Union message. This morning I would like lo talk with you a few momenta on what I will call the Sute of Sterling. There will be the usual good news and bad news, but the sky looks generally bright. Principal Wachtel’s Speaker- aide Morning Chat was inaugurated in order to establish an open line of communication between the student body and the adminis- tration. and were made available in manuscript form in the office for those interested. In addition to improved relations within the school, attempts were made lo lone down hostilities between the rival schools dur- ing The Came week. One such endeavor was the unprece- dented Good Sportsmanship Breakfast held at Holiday Inn. Twenty-five students from each school were chosen by counselors to represent every aspect of both schools. Teachers were not immune from the transformation of school policies, however. Changes were made in the area of special duty assignments. The faculty was divided into duty groups by trimes- ters and assigned chaperoning duties at special events such as Homecoming and the Twirp Dance. Everything from the bell system to methods of scheduling was revised. The bell was set to ring at seven fifty-five as a warning and then again five minutes later lo give students plenty of time to get lo first period. New pre-registration procedures were intro- duced on Parents Night as part of a forty-five minute assembly so that parents would be able to take an active role in their child’s scheduling.
