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

That’s Entertainment! Students participate in Variety '85 Under the direction of Mr. Glen Lester, the tenth anniversary of Variety ‘85 was on its way. Variety was a fast moving, fun filled production of America’s music. Students and teachers contributed to the major part of the show—everything from assistant director, Mr. Ed Robbins, to dancing and singing cho- rus. Seventeen members of the Band of Blue made up the orchestra directed by Keith James. Heather Rash and Susane Varnadoe were two ushers just as beautiful as our four- teen girls who participated as living ads. Be- hind the scenes, Lucius Moore was a faithful curtain operator. Without him the show could not go on. But, of course, there was the show. It was a tremendous success in which every night the cast received a standing ovation. Marcel An- dre Harley a member of the singing and danc- ing chorus, soloist, and clown said, “It made me feel good inside because of the strenuous time and effort that I put into the show. It made me feel like everything was definitely worth my while.” Practice started January first and ended at the last performance on March tenth. Most of the cast and crew had become close and did not want the production to come to an end but on the other hand, there were some who were glad it was all over with and could get back on a regular schedule again. Because students did not have many extra- curricular activities around school, Variety seemed to be the answer for occupying time when there was nothing else to do. Variety also gave students a chance to express their talents and exhibit self-confidence. Most stu- dents that did not participate in any way came at least one night to enjoy the show. Steve Hanna and Scott Langdale are members of a losing baseball team, but they tell the audience that they've got “Heart.” Victor Seabrooks’ expression shows us that the backspin is not as easy as it looks. 24 variety
