£tvde nt 4 It’s been around since the first Egyptian students crowded into the halls of Pyramid High. Teach- ers didn’t like it. and administra- tors lectured about the conse- quences of committing the cardi- nal sin of education — cheating. There were two types of cheat- ing — spontaneous and pre-medi- tated. Examples of spontaneous cheating included double-check- ing answers and making a few corrections. Premeditated cheating was the new trend in the field, and had achieved a cult following. Disciples of premeditated cheating treated it as a religion, practicing it zeal- ously and praying before every at- tempt. Everybody cheated at one time or another, but few admitted it. said a student and occasional cheater who wished to remain anonymous. A cheat sheet came in really handy when I had a math test the next day and ‘Dynasty’ was on. While cheating of any variation was far from the right thing to do. students kept trying new angles to perfect it. Design by Patrick Harvan. Photos by Dawn Mohney.

Pure shock! That was the reaction to the new out- rageous fads. Call them wild, even wacky, but the new styles were definitely high energy and imaginative. Prints were mixed with other patterns, while ac- cessories created an individual style. Not only was fashion just a woman's world, but also a man’s. Some guys crossed the gender barrier by applying make-up. tinting hair, and wearing ear- rings. In addition, unisex clothing was commonplace. The inspiration for these trends came from a reviv- al of previous fads. The long tight skirts, pearls, brooches, antiquated jewelry and paisley prints were salvaged from years past. As illustrated in the above photos, campus fashion represented an array of styles. 1. Lifting John Bono into the air. mods Michelle Erard, Misha Betts, Laura Toothman and Michelle Chapman show their playful attitudes. 2. GO all over. Terry Buske and Oscar Escobedo exhibit the look which involves snazzy slacks and clas- sic dress shirts. 3. Casual juniors Nancy Masters and Irene Nerling exemplified the laid back style. Guess and Forenza were popular, usually accompanied by shirts buttoned at the collar. Continued on page 29 .. . 26 Fashion Student Life
