Various styles found at THS What would student life be if you didn’t take a look at the styles? Yes, folks, for another year the “preppy” look was in - whether you wanted to wear a long-sleeved t-shirt with a polo under it or wear one polo over another. Every day you could see one of these styles at THS. Other types of popular clothing were rugby pants, Lee, and Levi. On their feet, the daring did not wear socks and many wore topsiders or penny loafers, and the remainder wore tennis shoes. When it comes to hairstyles there was only one - punk! This hairstyle was very short in the front and on the sides. In fact, many people got what they call “ears cut out.

THS students spend time with music for entertainment One might ask what someone does for entertainment in a small town like Troy. Many students of THS would answer that question with one word - party! Besides partyin’ students had other forms of entertainment. Most liked to cruise St. Joe and catch a flick. Movies were a big thing this school year. Terms of Endearment won an Oscar for Movie of the Year. Hot Doa. Police Academy. Footloose, and Splash were some of the more popular movies. Music was another form of entertainment. Whether they just want- ed to relax on their bed at home or “jam” their way to a basketball game, this is something THS students could not do without. The familiar groups stayed at the top of the charts while new groups climbed up them also. Journey once again was a favorite rock group. Their new album Frontiers carried such hits as “Send Her My Love,” “Can’t Stop Falling,” and “Faithfully.” The Police was awarded the Song of the Year with “Every Breath You Take.” Michael Jackson won eight Grammys with such songs as “Billie Jean,” “Thriller, and Beat It” from his album Thriller. The Foot- loose soundtrack also produced many hits. Van Halen’s album 1984 carried such hits as “Jump” and “Panama. All these songs could be heard on popular radio stations like ZZ99, KYI02, and 106.5KCI. This year was not the year of video games, but the year of entertainment. 8 Student Life
