The Who, the What, and the Wear FASHIONS THAT MADE 1987-88 By Dina Petroff INGOT TODAY As Seventh Graders come and Seniors leave, the same goes for fads and fashion. When Seniors graduate, they leave not only memories of their life, but also a distinct mark on the fashion scene. Many trends in fashion exploded during the 1987-88 school year. One of the most notable trends was the return of the classic miniskirt which was a big fashion statement for the I960's and the I970’s. For the guys as well as girls, there were frosted, acid, snow and white washed jeans, shirts, and denim jackets. Other popular trends included the “anything-goes” hairstyles, fashion watches. Reeboks. and fashion sweatshirts. Sweatsuits, and unlaced hightops were the “cool” look for the Junior High. The desirable names in fashion were Guess?. IOU. Swatch. Forenza. Ocean Pacific. Bugleboy, Espirit, Generra. and Benetton.

These fragrances averaged from $18.50 to $30.00. A four ounce bottle of Polo, for example, costs around $20.00. The ladies, too. were willing to pay high prices, for the ‘desirable’ fragrance. Poison, Opium. Obsession and Lauren were the ‘in’ perfumes. Like the mens’ fragrances, these ranged from approximately $20 on up.

The Cross Country team also falls victim to the feeling of helplessness once the season is over. They too can’t wait for their first meet, but when the last meet is over it finally dawns that the season is over. The same feeling occurs for the members on the basketball, baseball, and track teams. Seniors are traditionally leaders of the team and as the leaders they have a responsibility. This responsibility is then passed on to the next years’ seniors. When you as a freshman joined a sport, the seniors were the one whom you looked up to.
