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

32 Clubs Divider Julie Anderson TAKE PART Every person has their own in- terests. Clubs offer everyone a chance to get involved and enjoy themselves. Clubs for some make school more worthwhile. Each club has its own purpose. A new club founded this year is S.A.D.D., an anti-drinking-and-driving group. It was founded, according to Mr. Ambrose, “By a common concern among students, teachers, and parents about the drinking and driving ques- tion.” Some clubs concentrate on participating in an interest shared by all of the members, while at the same time obtaining a “reward” for all of the effort that they’ve put forth. The Future Artists, for example, travel to New York City at the end of each year in order to visit museums and ex- pand their knowledge of art. The Student Council is a club which sponsors school events such as dances. Key Club, on the other hand, works for the good of the community and international peace. Students join clubs to meet new friends, learn about something that they aren’t able to take in school, or gain leadership experience. At the same time, they are becoming a well- rounded person sought after by col- leges, and have an advantage when it’s time to apply. By joining one of the several clubs in existence you can double your knowl- edge and the number of good times you’ll have during high school.
