These three haircuts were popular for the guys. The one on the left was often seen in Valley’s halls. They are from left to right: the three-line, the brioche, and the mushroom. Shaved or bleached sides were definitely “in” for men during the ’87 school year. Sam Man- waring finishes up a make-up test right in style. Moussed hairstyles and Salvation Army jewelry be- came hot in 1987. While finishing some last minute homework, senior Pam Dove also gives an example of the past coming back into style by wearing a jean jacket and a scarf as a head band. Trends

ashions: Trends reverse back in time to become timely Big, bold patterns, teased, full hair- styles for girls, and spiked or full hair- styles for guys all became the “in” thing to wear in 1987. The fashion style was basically “any- thing goes”. The teen-agers of ’86-’87 had a new style, but wait; take a look at some old magazines; you know, the ones Mom and Dad have had hidden in the closet for years. Many of the hairstyles and clothes seem familiar. Many of today’s fashions that were seen around Valley’s halls were very simi- lar to those from past decades. Depend- ing on the personal preference of the wearer, the styles viewed throughout the corridors came from anywhere between the 1940’s to the 1970’s. On any given day, one would have seen a long mid-calf length straight skirt like those worn in the 40’s, then he’d turn a corner and find a girl in a mini skirt from the late 60’s and early 70’s. These styles were updated by differences in the fabric, and by printed fabric being used. Of course the trends of ’86-’87, though similar to those of past decades, were definitely styles of the eighties. In 1987 Swatches, big, clunky jewelry, funky shoes, and jean jackets were things teens could call their own. Since older fashions were the big thing, some of the best places to shop were thrift stores. “My goal in life is to own a Salvation Army Thrift Store dynasty. Stores like Maurice’s and Kline’s all carry the same kinds of clothes. They leave a person no opportunity to be unique and different from the crowd.”, commented Heidi Fisher.

H omecoming spirit isn’t dampened With each new year also comes a variety of different sports, not the least of all foot- ball, and not the least of all games. Home- coming. Homecoming wasn’t just a single game, but a week of festivities ranging from the hall decorating contest, the spirit banner contest, the Homecoming court elections, and the various spirit days. On Wednesday of Homecoming week each class had two hours to decorate its halls with crepe paper, baUoons, banners, and anything else students could find to catch the judges’ eyes. The juniors won the contest with the sophomores coming in second place and the freshmen, third. Due to the rain during the game, the spirit banners could only be displayed and judged in the commons. “Blast the Com- ets” by the senior class captured the class banner competition. “A Most Logical Out- come” by the Art Club won the club ban- ner contest. During the week, the students were giv- en ballots to elect their Homecoming rep- resentatives and the senior King, and Queen. Representing the freshman class were Heidi Smithson and Dan Brower. The sophomore class was represented by Tracy Martin and Craven Lynn. Missy Kubley and Randy Cumberland were the junior class representatives. The three Queen candidates were Jana Hawkins, Sue Lafferty, and Heather Kra- jewski. The three King candidates were Corey Hoffman, Chris Zolman, and Dwain Dunn. After the game, Chris Zolman and Jana Hawkins were crowned Homecoming King and Queen. Several “Spirit” days were also ob- served during Homecoming week, Monday was Jersey day, Tuesday Twin day, Wednesday Punk day, Thursday Cowboy and Indian day, and Friday was Viking Spirit day. At the pep session before the game, the football team sang their own version of the “Homecoming Shuffle” and emptied the bleachers when they danced to “Walk this Way” by Run DMC. “The Eastern game could best be de- scribed in two words: cold and wet”, com- mented assistant Coach Miller. Just as the rain was coming down on the field, so were the Vikings in coming down on Eastern. The Viking defense kept the Eastern of- fense shut down all night while the offense scored several times with the final score being 39-0 Besides the rallies of the cheerleaders, fan support The senior Homecoming King and Queen are Chris is also very important.
