The in-styles” were cropped pants and long, thin skirts topped by enor- mous knobby sweaters. Form-fitting sweater dresses and more femi- nine looks differentiat- ed from the neutered or militant looks of yes- terday. Shorter hair- cuts were the fad for guys and girls, and the infamous surfer haircut” swept the fashion scene. Sweatshirts and turtlenecks made a cozy couple and ankle-hug- ging sneakers reminiscent of the prairie boots paired with long skirts made a definite fashion statement.

The fashion conscious male also had his Levis rolled up to display his im- peccable taste in high-topped foot- wear.

It's That Time Again! August 24 marked the first time in 2 most three months that a student ad a reason to go to bed on time. next day was it—the first day of school. That was the one day —roughout the whole year that ev- eryone jumped out of :ed as soon as the 2 arm clock went off— 9 day that no one wanted to be late. Ev- erything had to be per- ect—the clothes, the hair, the make-up, ev- erything. For freshmen, this was considered me beginning of a long day of strange 3ces, getting lost between classes, 3 id being taunted by upperclass- men. But it also meant meeting new friends, reuniting with old ones, and- moving to a new stage in life—high school. But for seniors, the picture was dif- ferent. This would be their last “first day” in high school. They had made it through the freshman, sopho- more, and junior “first day jitters and now the life of a senior was be- ginning. Most seniors were ready when school started again. Senior Andy Cook commented, “I was ready for school to start because I wanted to see all of my friends.” “Let me see your schedule!”— These words echoed through the halls all day as friends compared schedules to see how many classes, if any, they had togeth- er.

All of these were ‘first day” characteristics. by Randell Mixon Jitters, getting lost, getting to bed on time and getting up when the alarm went off were all first day characteristics.
