From Farrah To Frequencies y law, for a student to gradu- ate. he must attend six hours of school, 180 days a year. In the re- maining eighteen hours of school days and 185 other than school days, the countries trends infect him and the germs of a fad enter the classroom In 1977, Farrah Fawcet Majors rose from a two-bit actress sudsing her way through commercials, to a sex symbol, selling over 5 million posters of her body clad in a flimsy red swimsuit. Part of her popularity developed from “Charlie’s Angels, a sexy detective show starring Farrah and two other attractive females. A lot of her popu- larity evolved from her seductively innocent face and hair-do. Girls from Willard joined thousands of others around the U.S., suffering through the night with their hair wrapped in curlers to attain the fluffy locks. Others reversed the trend and followed the example of Dorothy Hamill. an Olym- pic gold medalist figure skater, by having a short pixy-tvpe haircut. As the hair-style crazes swept across the nation, so did an appetite for Citi- zen Band radios. Private citizens joined truck drivers in utilizing the truly American lingo developed for use over the CB. A typical conversation began, “Breaker 1-9, how 'bout ya Humding- er? You got your ears on?,” which simply is a request to have the line, and an inquest of the availability of Humdinger, a code name, slanglv called a handle. Caught in the fangs of the giant movement, the Willard School Board purchased the popular radios for use on the school buses. Willard was also affected with the revival of an old trend, skateboarding. Sidewalks became temporarily unsafe, when youngsters on skateboards zoomed down the street. Even the high school corridors were not immune from the skateboard invasion. Students bombarded the halls with the wheels of their skateboards as they whisked their way down the halls and whipped around corners. As yet, Willard High School has always recovered from the yearly at- tack of fads, and will surely survive the fallout of this year's explosion. 9
