Many in- cidents set it aside from the others. Some might even say it was cursed! Mark Rodriguez and Debra Stinson started off their senior year with a bang.

Who wfould do anything to get out of school for a few days? This would have to be Devin Herring . He was riding with a friend when a farmer seemingly came from nowhere and ran a stop sign. The car rolled and Devin was knocked out. Wrecks were bad enough, but the snow only compounded the problem. The sight of the first snowflake brought excitement along with the hopes of calling off schp’ol. Then it came again. , And again. And againl Soon, teachers, students, and parents dreaded even hearing the s-word — snow! Fashions were unique this year as welmJjPepsi and Coca-Cola shirts, socks, Ond even shoelaces were a new additton. A Terrier's wardrobe would not be complete without a pair of acKl-washed jeans. Keds, an old standby, were ever popular, as well as jean jackets decorated with message buttons. Sixties influence was seen everywhere, especially in the return of the mini skirt, short boots, tight knit dresses, and polka dots. Candy LaBrue I A headlock on high fashion is displayed by Julie Kautz and her iced denim jacket as she shows Justin Beadles some of the advantages of being in weight lifting.
