Much of what is fad or fashion is
a take off on what all the hot movie
stars are doing or wearing. In the
late 70's, Farrah Fawcett was the
hot female star. Her hair was long
with loose curls. She wore tight
jeans and tight shirts. John
Travolta was the famous male star.
He had medium length hair, wore
tight jeans and boots. Stars like
these were the trend setters in the
70's and early 80's.

thing with the newer, famous

are even made fun of.

trend setters. The music has
changed considerably over the
years. Disco was big with the Bee
Gee's, Olivia Newton John, Rolling
Stones, Bob Seager. Now the hot
groups are Def Leppard, Inxs, and

I have grown up with society's
youth and have seen and heard
most everything. Some of it I
understand and some of it I don't.
What amazes me most are the
students of Perkins-Tryon High
School. They're great. Have you
ever just stood around and observ-
ed people? That's what I do for s
living, just hang around here and
watch and listen. A lot of people
don't appreciate me. So next time
you walk under my branches, think
about what you are saying. Because
someone is always hanging around.
