What would student life be without friends? Jenny Prall often meets with a group of hers, Stacy Duger, Carole Gleeson and Carry Bombardo, to discuss all the new gossip, the latest fashion and the hottest music. The one thing that we all agree that we love is food. Robyn Keller takes time out from her homework to share a pretzel with Michelle Cooper and Jenny Kenney during her lunch period.

 I : A variety of thrills and chills can be found at Darien Lake theme park where last years juniors went for their class trip. The adventuresome were bound to be seen riding the screamin' Viper. Even outside of the classroom, the electricity of the students could still be felt. We didn’t give up our fervor beyond the walls of Baker. In fact, we carried it with us into every aspect of our student life. At every social event, the heat could be felt. From the warmth of a friendly greeting at your locker or a note from your friend, the conflagration grew into the exuberance that existed at the pep rallies. Off-campus, it spread like wildfire. At every mall, there was a spark that would rekindle our spir- it. Perhaps, it was hearing the vibrant sounds of the latest band, or seeing the hottest new fashion. Recreational activities were on the leading edge, and the telephone was like a live wdre. It even seemed that our favorite foods were the spicy ones. Our student life was like an ex- plosive charge set to go off and make whatever we do the freshest, most exhilarating, hottest action we could.

Looking your best with your Fashion Sense For many, the most important deci- sion to be made all day is what to wear. Your fashion statement is something that conveys your personality. Whether you follow the latest fad and style, or if you go against all the rules” to create your own personal look determines your clothing statement. As Chrissy Sprague puts it, Fashion is a statement, not a question.” As you walk through the halls, you’ll see many styles. Bill Spicer describes his fashion statement as regular jeans, T- shirt and no cologne. Even choosing what brand name of jeans to buy is dif- ficult with so many names on the mar- ket. Lee, Levis, Union Bay, Bugle Boy and Guess are only a few of the patches seen on local pockets. Then you have the more individualistic dressers, who stay as far as possible from store labels and shop the thrift stores like Salvation Army, Rescue Mission and then actual vintage clothes' stores such as Second Hand Rose and Baby Booms. As Shan- non Ryan puts it, the only you can say about them is that some styles are real- ly outrageous, but to each his own. On the other hand, Shannon Wadsworth comments, If you're too trendy, you begin to look like everyone else.” Lisa Olejarz responds, I always try to be original!” Many people, though, seem to have a variety of styles which change from day to day and mood to mood. Fashion cha- meleon, Miky McCall describes hers simply as, It varies. Sometimes, it's the sophisticated look all the way—stock- ings, underwear, jewelry, the works. Oth- er times, it's the fun, funky look—a flippy skirt, wild earrings and a creative hairdo. Then there's the times when I'm 'bumming it,' I won’t describe it—let's just say a few unfortunate people have seen me when I was totally bummed out and, well, they've never been the same since! But mostly, my fashion statement is, well, just me. An original!” Katrina Donaghey A button-down shirt with the tails hanging out as well as a good pair of dark ••shades ’ is a hot look for the '80's man such as Bob Steen.
