BOOGIE DOWN! How many of you like to dance? Well, obviously some of you must, from the turnout at this year’s school dances. Attendance at these dances ranged from about 600 to 900 people per dance - roughly one out of every three of you sitting in the room now. South rebelled against its longstanding tradition of holding the Sadie Hawkins dance in the South Commons. The new location was the authentically western Diamond-T Ranch. As well as the sights and smells of the open air, this setting was equipped with a hay-ride around a mucky swamp. The Sno-Daze dance, organized by a sub-committee of the student council, had a Hawaiian theme, and Scott Al-Najim sat in as the D.J. There was a new addition to this year’s school dances. The Tri-School dance, involved South, Washburn and Southwest high schools. It featured a live band. This was the first live band to play a South dance since 1982 when The Answers performed. This dance was organized by a group of seven people, three from Southwest, the class president from Washburn and Ashley Dahl, Ashley Hamilton and Danycllc Potter from South. But it never happened. t op: Practicing C.P.R. at the dance. Middle: Marrying Sam. Jim Barry gives the bride away.

IT’S NOW A center for learning; a center for socializing; a center of fashion: this is South High. This year at S.H.S. we have been able to observe the growth and beauty of many different trends. This year paisleys and scarves walked hand in hand. Levis (especially “501 Blues”) were seen on many bottom halves. These were topped with just about anything from college sweatshirts to blouses with rhinestone cameos. The jeans were co-stars with some less classical ideas: stirrups, and baggies. And there were boots: this color, that color, furry boots, shiny boots, buckled boots, motorcycle boots. Yes, there were boots. We were also blessed with a return of skirts of all lengths and colors. These were often accompanied by over-sized sweaters and wide belts. Earrings? Oh, were there earrings! Hoops, studs, dangles, crucifixes — almost all gorgeously gaudy. We can not close without a dark note: black. Yes, a hold over from last year, black showed itself this year not only in our leather jackets, but just about anywhere. Some wore all black themes, others just partically indulged themselves, offsetting the pitch with other colors. 24 TRENDS
