What’s Up? Favorites for ’85 After surveying approximately 100 students in the 9th through 10th grades for favor- ites, Prince and the Revolution was the over- whelming champion. Prince turned Michael Jackson into old news because of his success in the hit movie Purple Rain, and became the number one superstar in America. This showed a good example of how fads and fashions, not only in clothes but in music, were continuously changing. Even though changes were always taking place, some of the old favor- ites remained a tradition. Where else would stu- dents hangout but at the Sonic and what else would they wear but their favorite faded-out pair of Levi's? Doesn't everyone have a pair? For at least ten years now, the young people at Walterboro have made the Sonic a tradition. Bored on a Sunday afternoon, students cruised uptown to the Sonic just to flap their jaws with some friends for a while! Whenever students got a break from school, what better time waster than a juicy soap op- era ? It seemed as if The Guiding Light was the favorite around here. Maybe we could watch some videos, especially Mr. Telephone Man by New Edition, or later in the evening watch the ultimately hilarious Cosby Show! These were the things that stood out during the entire school year. They were subjects for conversation, things to show off or just for pure entertainment. These things were what made this year so much different from all the rest and just expressed a taste of times. The Camaro Z-28 was the first choice among students, especially the turbo-charged IROC! Looking over the top ten albums of the week, Barry Trem- ble finally picks the 1 album, Purple Rain, by Prince and the Revolution. favorites 21
