Fads and Fashions by Lorrie McClellan Like we get into fads, fer sure! Valley Girl talk hit hard at VHS. While language like totally awesome, fer sure, barf out, gag me with a spoon, to the max, and oh my god was used by the majority of the student body, a few loyal fans studied up on Valley Girls by listening to Moon Unit Zappa and her father Frank's rock song, uniquely called Valley Girl. They also studied a book call-- ed. The Totally Awesome Val Guide. This elite group added words to their vocabulary like, mondo, and mega, which mean extremely. Beastie, dudley, geek, and grisly, meaning a loser. Honker, and Melvin which are names for someone who's really weird, and Jel, meaning a Jell-O- Head. The in dress at Vestaburg consisted of pleated dress pants, sweaters, knickers, colored nylons, prairie tops, prairie skirts and leg warmers. A noticeable change occured in '83. In place of the faded jeans and sweat shirts, many students were dressed up. Prairie skirts and float dresses were often worn by the girls; while guys frequently wore dress pants and top-siders. Although long skirts and dresses were popular, de- signer jeans were on the top of every girl's list; regular and baggy. Among these were Chic, Lee, Levi's, Calvin Klein, Zena, Gloria Vander- built. Bon jour, Cheeno's, Dee Gee's, Hunt Club andJordache. Some daring students such as Heather Elder, Amy Gates, Tammy Carter and Alysia Gall- ihugh were found wearing duck boots. Duck boots are plastic and resemble galoshes except in color. Short hair also became fash- ionable. Penny Davidson was a good example of this; as was Connie Loomis who besides having short hair, had her hair frosted. Other girls who frosted their hair were Julie Hartman, Ginger Marshall and Paula Enterline. While video arcades were popular in '82, TV video games became quite common in '83; with games like Donkey Kong, Pittfall, Asteroids, Defender and Frogger. Another exten- sion for the TV was video disks.

The lights turned on, revealing our five queen can- didates . At Thursday's assembly the girls were escorted by male faculty members and gave a speech on the person they ad- mired the most. The candi- dates also performed a skit along with the representatives entitled Thursdays at Home, about a woman in her twenties who felt sorry for women in business. Friday was the day every- one had worked towards, and the spirited student body was dressed in red white. With growing anticipation, students decorated the halls for Deck the Hall Day. The seniors took first place in the Almost Anything Goes competition, which included: the Bubble Gum Blowing Contest, the Egg Toss, Sack Race, Volleyball Tournament, and the Life- saver Pass. The end of the school day was not the end of all the ex- citement. Students were led by the band to the football field for an outdoor pep assem- bly , which featured the yelling contest, which was won by the ninth graders. The parade took its regular route down Main Street led by the senior band with the queen's float bringing up the rear. At halftime, with a narrow VHS lead. Cheryl Freeman was announced homecoming queen, and the eighth grade was ac- knowledged pep jug winners. After the triumph over the Mustangs, Wolverine fans cele- brated at the dance with music by Cal.
