Mini Mag Wear it well! Mini-mag From punk to flattops to long, the fasnion of hair changed as quickly as the trend of clothes. Wearing in threads did not guarantee one the awesome look if he she did not have today's latest hairstyle. Three hairdo trends phased in and out, leaving some bald. Phase 1: the punk rock - spiked style; Phase 2: the ROTC look - flattops; Phase 3: the Biblical days - long. For those who did not go through a hair phase, kept the look of the day before; while some went on to days ahead. If one did not have any hair to keep up with the trends, he she could purchase the newest styles from professional hairdesigners. For example, Tina Turner (female rock artist) set a trend with her electric shredded hairpiece. Were hairpieces going to be tomorrow's style? Gotta Look Cool Deciding what to wear can be a killer if one does not keep up with the trend setting styles. Purchasing clothes is like homework. One can either look cool or dress like a geek. Styles constantly change. Ins Outs Guess?

The future looks so bright, I gotta wear shades! A part of look cool, students wore sunglasses just about everywhere. Following this trend, senior Jerry Havens, junior Pam Sears and junior Cindy James sport different styles of shades.

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
