Students full of life When will there be a break? was a question heard arond school after it had started, and stu- dents had finally reached their halfway mark. A great prescription for the busied, hurried life of the students came at Christmas vacation. They threw school out of their minds, kicked back and relaxed, spent time with families, and vacationed. During the Christmas period at Troy High, much excitement had been experienced whether it was because of the two-week break that came or because of the activity that filled the halls. Student council held a hall-decorating contest between the seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen. Each class was designated a hall and they decorated it in Christmas array. Seniors won firstprize, which was $30. Freshmen claimed sec- ond prize, $20, followed by the juniors, $15, and sophomores $10. Stuco also held the annual Christmas party. The break then ended, and it was back to the busied routines of school. Basketball and speech had gotten into swing, the alumni games were played, prom finally arrived, and then, for some, graduation.

I f there was one thing that could have been labeled, once in a lifetime, it could have been the fads of Troy High. Fads and new styles were sometimes shortlived; they were here today, and gone tomorrow. One style that was big, was that of flowered pants, flowered jackets, flowered anything! Flow- ered prints in blue denim or bright colors roamed the halls. A new addition to the jean scene was stirrup pants, which were just that, pants with a stirrup at the bottom. Long shirts were very popular, as were shirts that were short in the front and longer in the back. Going Hawaiian was also in. Jammers, also known as Hawaiian shorts, were also common. Along with the shorts, Hawaiian shirts were worn. Shaker-knit sweaters worn over a little colored T-shirt were seen quite often, also. Hair styles were about the same, such as those with the ears cut out, but also making an appear- ance was the style of not much hair on the head. As prom rolled round, tanning beds became ex- tremely popular. All of those fads revealed the personalities of people and gave the school color (literally) and no doubt they will keep changing, but for the year of 1986, they were once in a lifetime.
