Blast from the Past

By: Lexi Sauber

Two words: Big hair. From the hard rock music, to the crazy fashion, and the excessive amount of hairspray, the 70’s and 80’s were the decades everyone wanted to grow up in. They were the periods of change in American society. It may be hard to think that at one point in time, our own teachers use to be young rebellious teenagers, just like us. But, believe it or not, some of our own teachers at Wauseon High School were lucky enough to experience the perm and bright blue eye-shadow era.
