GIVE TAKE One of the advantages of attending Baker High School is having the opportunity to meet many interesting people. Along with high school comes high school sweethearts. Sweethearts play an important role in the social lives of the students. They go to dances, football games, movies, and parties. Some couples like to go out with a group of people while others take time out to spend with each other. An important benefit is that it teaches people how to care for one another. Sue Horton, a senior, says “With every relationship comes added responsibility and maturity. I believe couples benefit from having someone to share problems, and talk with, and they have each other to look forward to. After school Is over, Andy Bender and Suzette Allen stay after for a few minutes together. Also a senior, Claudine Pompo says, “I think a boyfriend—girlfriend relationship is super, but only if they get along really well. They can add a lot of fun and memorable times into each other’s high school lives and may even continue into their adult lives.” Besides the boyfriend girfriend view of couples, there are many girls and guys who are just very close friends. They can confide in each other for help with any problems that they may have. Some prefer this type of relationship since it is not as serious. No matter which you seek, romance or friendship, boys and girls can receive valuable experience in dealing with other people and their feelings by having these sort of relationships during their high school years.

TAKE A LOOK “Preppie, “punk,” “hippie,” “Jock”—there are an abundance of ways to describe the style of dress seen nowadays. It seems that the only rule to follow is “do your own thing.” For some, this means sophistication at its height. Others prefer the more casual look. No matter which category applies, everyone is in some way affected by the fads and fashions of our time. Fashion to some is an individual “style” one person has, while a fad is more of a trend that the majority follows. Senior Kirsten Rossler defines fashion as, “The way you present your individuality through the clothes you wear.” And though everyone was free to adopt their favorite mode of dressing, there were obvious fads present this year. We saw a sort of “50’s” revival as cropped pants, over-sized shirts and sweaters, and flats were worn by most everyone. The “bob” haircut was a favorite of many girls, and short hair was by no means limited to the guys, since girls now opt for the more Sporting parachute pants and wide striped shirt is Jeff Doyle, while Jeff McLaughlin and Pat Solomon are wearing docksides and ties. The style vocabulary for today is bright and bold, and Carrie Garden spells it out loud and clear. carefree styles. Speaking of the guys, they were definitely more dressed up this year, with ties and sweaters being not just for special occasions, but for everyday wear as well. Along with large patterns and jewelry, bright, bold colors were constantly seen. Whether on sneakers, accessories, or blouses, these new daring shades certainly made one stand out in a crowd, and many times people found themselves looking twice at what others were wearing. Even jeans took on a new look with a numerous amount of pockets in unusual places, or none at all. Varying types of denim were used to create totally different effects either “coming” or “going.” Krisha Rydelek, a senior at Baker, comments about fashion in our school in this way, “It’s interesting to see different styles of clothing that each person wears. It’s nice to see a variety.” And during the 1984-85 school year, we certainly did. Marta Grutka 30 Fads and Fashions
