v fifth caster. He lived with one of his friends, Mark Diener, at Lake White. I'm not ready to go back to Japan yet because I never have spring here, he said in March.

What began as a sailor's short sleeved undershirt in World War II, went civilian after the war. The t-shirt did not become a rock commodity until 1970. Loyal fans of certain bands, drinks or universities paid at least $10 for a t-shirt. They have survived gimmicks like glitter, scratch-n-sniff and hot stamped lettering. They have been tie-dyed, silk screened and artfully torn. The t-fad blossomed throughout the country, causing t-shirt wars. Mail order t-shirt sales increased due to the trend and metal-deprived areas. In Waverly the t-shirt craze inspired foreign exchange student Yoshi Tagawa to design his own t-shirt in graphic arts class. He experimented with a portrait of junior Ivena Teets. The result, a t-shirt with a sizzlin' hot pink portrait of Teets. His t-shirt caught the eye of some, causing a demand for more prints to be screened. When asked why he wanted a shirt, junior Joe Mitchell said, I liked Ivena as a friend. She’s an original!”

It's the law! Officer, I promise I will start wearing a seat belt. Sorry lady. I have to fine you an extra S20 for not buckling up. But officer, I promise you won't catch me without wearing a seat belt ever again. To bad lady. It's the law! On July 4, 1986, driving in Ohio became a different story.

Answer: M.A.D.D. (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), S.A.D.D. (Students Against Driving Drunk) and R.A.D. (Rock Against Drugs). All three organizations set a goal for the public to say no to drugs and alcohol. S.A.D.D., with the cooperation of Pepsi-Colaf created a contract for high school students and their parents to help solve the death rate among teenagers who die in car accidents caused by driving drunk. The contract authorized the teenager to agree to call his her parents for The controversial Buckle Up law affected many people. I don't think the safety belt law should be enforced because I think it doesn't always help save lives, said senior Tina Fordyce. On the other hand, sophomore Donald Ferguson thinks the safety belt law should be enforced because he claims wearing a seat belt saved his life when he had an accident in December 1986. Whether one thought this law controversial or not, it could not be broken. A first time offender received a warning. A second one broke the rule, he she had to pay a $25 fine. Passengers breaking the rule had to pay a $10 fine. Paying a fine was not the only cost. One also had to pay court costs. Court costs varied in the 88 counties.

Students introduced the contract a week before Prom, a prime time for possible student drinking. S.A.D.D. brought various opinions. Bonnie Thompson replied favorably, I think it is a good thing because it saves teenagers lives. Sopnomore Jenny Waugh disagreed, I think the contract means parents are permitting their kids to drink.

On October 23, five students by invitation only left school to show their talent elsewhere. Graphic Arts Art instructor Mrs. Janet Roberts selected seniors Brad Evans, Gary Shreck and Terry Shreck, sophomore Brenda Jenkins and freshman Sunny Hamilton to miss school. They attended a workshop and opening of the Scioto Paint Valley High School Invitational '86 Art Show. one explained that she chose these students because they had worked hard and showed an interest in graphic arts and art. The art show, hosted by the Scioto Paint Valley Mental Health Center in Chillicothe, displayed 110 student art works from Fayette, Highland, Pickaway Pike and Ross Counties. My favorite work there was a painting of a woman, said Terry Shreck. To have a better understanding about graphic arts art as possible career areas, each student signed to attend two workshops and a guided tour with explanations of the work. National Award Winner, John Meehan, a graphic artist, conducted a workshop on Graphic Design and Illustration. I liked these workshops because the speakers artists showed us some of their work and told a little bit about what they did. The artists suggested schools or colleges to go to if we wanted to learn graphic arts in detail, said Gary Shreck. Following the workshops an Opening Reception honored the students. While Mark Thacker played guitar and sang ballads and folk songs, a buffet dinner was served. After dinner the show opened to the public. They viewed the student work which lined the walls of the Center. Students not only went home with a sense of pride, but also with a plaque for the school and a personal certificate. Mr. Dan Crusie, art instructor at Greenfield High School and Mrs. Janet Roberts took slides of the events. In November they presented a slide show at the Ohio Art Education Conference at Dayton to show art teachers statewide of the local event. I didn't know what this art show would be like and I hestitated at first about going. But, now that I know, I'm excited about going next year, said Mrs. Roberts. • Mini-mag 23
