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.

Cherish the moments Spirit Week for this year was buzzing with ex- citement! Many people dressed up in the re- quired attire for the day. Monday was for all the beach bums; Tuesday was opposite sex day; Wednesday was baby day; Thursday was for nerds; and Friday was traditional blue and white day. To make this day special, some of the stu- dents showed extra school spirit by bringing a handkerchief saying, “We're behind the Tro- jans, and pinning it on their backs. Mike Wiedmer was the recipient of the coveted award, Mr. Legs. He was given a rose and a kiss from Traci Marriott. At the Homecoming ceremony, October 4, the court consisted of Mary Etherton, Pam Guy, Jen- nifer Scholz, Paula Smith, and Karen Thomas. Karen Thomas was crowned the new Homecom- ing Queen. She was awarded a sash, a crown, eight roses, and a kiss from head escort, Tim Hegarty. The other candidates received a rose and a kiss from their escorts, Bryan Adkins, Brian Klaus, John Klaus and Mike Wiedmer. The crown and gift bearers for the ceremony were Sarah Geiger, Corey Smith, Jackie Nel- thorpe, and Cory Kostman. A dance followed the game and lasted till 12:30.
