he rap One of the best parts of going out is trying to see how close you can push your curfew with your parents and trying to set new records getting home. Better run! Better get home! It's 12:OO!! The house on the hill sits quietly in slumber. The curtains sway with the gentle snores coming from inside. The clock strikes 12. Suddenly, a screech is heard from the street. A car tears into the driveway. Before it even stops, someone flies out and sprints to the door. All the lights in the house flash on. When he gets there, a disapproving figure opens the door. LATE AGAIN! Curfews and getting in trouble seemed to be a fact of life for many. I get into trouble about every 10 minutes. I have ALL the threats memorized, said Junior David l-lodge. What did your parents do when you were late? My dad just gripes a lot. I usually ignore him, said Senior Jim Konvicka. One time I rushed home Q. .V 'P .. Student Life V because I was so worried I was going to be late and nobody was even home! said Freshman Cheryl Byrd. Some thought their curfews were unfair. I think it's really bad when your freshman date has a later curfew than you. And you're a senior! said Brad Smith. Even though we would soon be old enough to choose our own curfews and have our freedom, it might cause some problems. Dad said when I'm 18, my curfew will be lifted, but I know when I come in at 4 am, Mom will kick me out, said Senior Jeanine Baccus. But for some, freedom was a long time comin'. I'Il have to obey my parents until I die, said Hodge. Come on! C Brincefield IH WWW-'HS Nix 's

4. F sit ful' While congratulating Senior Sheila Moncrief on her honor of being crowned Homecoming Queen, Sen- ior Denise Locke is fashionably dressed for the game. Acid-washed denim was a popular Hin item of clothing this year, as was Guess, Reebok, Keds, rolled-up legs and sleeves, and numerous other brand names and styles. At the Homecoming game, Senior Mary Rucker's father proudly escorts her to the field so she can take her place in the Homecoming court. Although Mary was not totally pleased with her dress, it at least was a dress. I didn't have a dress so I went to Social Scene. It was the only one that fit!! she said. Wg, ,1 ,. .,,, ii? . .

When the weather is warm, I usually wear shorts, tops, and sandals, said Sophomore Angela Burton. For others, the weather really did not affect their dress at all. I usually plan to wear shorts or minis- kirts, and if it's cold I get embarrassed when I get goosebumps and look like a 'plucked chicken, ' said Junior Shelley Dollins. No matter what one planned to wear the next day, one better have checked the weather before making any final deci- sions. Enjoying the sun, Sophomore Toby Peek is obviously dresssed for the weather. While the cap shades his face from the sun, it also makes me feel relaxed, he said. I feel itls a good idea not to wear tanks to school, but if someone feels they have something to show, then I guess they should be able to wear them, said Peek. Dressed very fashionably for one of the pep rallies during the year, Senior Greg Cato lets down on his duties momentarily as a Blue Poo to watch the activities of the pep rally. Although the Blue Poos were eventually outlawed, they were still able to bring much spirit and fashion ideas to this event. I I ...JF Fashion Ll ,Gap ,..
