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

What's Hot? What’s Fashions of the 50’s Return Not? Most kids started off the school year with a “back-to-school” shopping spree. The first two weeks of school were “electrifying” to the eyes with the neon pink, yellow, and green colors. After summing up the outfits of.most every- one, it was decided that the school year 84-85 had been a re-creation of the 50’s, Girls wore pants cut above the ankle, bobbie-socks, and matching bows in their hair. While the girls went back in time, the boys stepped forward with their fashions. The average guy owned a name-belt, a pair of Adidas or Puma, and thick shoe laces to match their outfit. Another very big part of an average outfit was the hair styles. Short haircuts or “bobs” were very popular. The guys also wore short haircuts, or “crew cuts.” Yes, punk was out and the 50’s look was in! Cathy Drawdy, Grant Robbins, and Tammy Beach show the stripes that were hot. Carmen Sauls shows that she has what it takes to be in style. Well-dressed, well-behaved and attentive describes Greg Fennessey. FASHION 23
