Right: She must be an angel! - Or at least Senior Andrea La Francois thinks so Below: Venus Fly Tap? - No, Eric Martinez tells Mike Smith to open wide and say Ahhhhhh! Far right: Material girls? - Seniors, Kristi Jensen, Hind Zine, and Stephanie D’Orazio discuss the “Importance of Life.” What do you get when you cross a jock, a prep, a new waver, a rocker, and an academic achiever? A top box office hit called the Breakfast Club, right? Wrong, you get Alame- da High. When asked what “category” they were in, some people denied affiliation, but upon further questioning many finally decided upon a category that others generally put them in. When asked what style she was, Senior Andrea La Fran- cois replied, “I have a style all my own, I copy no one, they copy me.” Andrea likes Madonna, the Uptones, and the Thompson Twins, but she protested that she wasn’t a groupy, and that she doesn’t dress just like them! There were many different styles of dress seen around campus this past year, but not only were the styles different, the attitudes varied as well. Garments worn by a certain group of people were often a sign of what people were really like. For instance, the dress of the new waver is loud, flam- boyant, and colorfully exciting, all of which denotes the atti- tude of self-assurance, and outspokeness. The rockers clothes were dark and subdued, yet surprisingly tough. But all in all, the face of AHS went deeper than fashion. It went way beyond that, into the people, because they are what made the school, not the clothes. The Many Faces of AHS 26 Fads, Fashions, Dances

Do you like meeting new people, getting involved in projects, or taking various trips around the Bay Area? The Club Day 1985 was the day to attend. From its very beginning at noon time, the circle was packed with inter- ested students hoping to find the per- fect club to suit their interests. Each table was mobbed by the stu- dents trying either to sign up or find more information about the clubs which had caught their interest. As a result of Club Day, many clubs dou- bled or tripled in size. Taking trips to various places seemed to be the main focus of most clubs. “We’re hoping to go to the Lawrence Hall of Science,” said Nel- son SooHoo, the president of the new science club, Paden’s Place. There were approximately 26 clubs this year. Some of those were Block A, Fashion Club, Junior Statesmen of America, and Art Club.
