arade is something old and new This year, the homecoming parade returned for the first time since 1979. The parade was part of Hometown Days pur- posely organized by the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce at the time of our homecoming. The theme of this year's parade was Something Old, Something New. The floats reflected the theme well. One Float reflected the trends and changes in music. Another showed how the school had changed. Many people thought the homecoming parade was a very good idea.

He expressed his extreme pleasure that the parade was back on the agenda. Many students felt that there was not enough participation by the student body. Heather Pruim pointed out, Part of it was that it was badly timed. Many activities were going on around the time of the parade, and the students couldn't be there. Many were designing plans and making suggestions for the parade next year. Mrs. Mary Ann Gorman commented, The stu- dent body has shown that they are responsible enough for a parade. I think we should pursue the activ- ity more next year.

ashion dictates student attire What's in this year? This was the question as students updated their wardrobes. Over the summer, due to the popular movie Flashdance, girls began buying torn sweatshirts and cutting up favorites. Peddle pushers, with hems above the an- kles, and sleeveless T-shirts were not only comfortable, but in high style. As fall approached, those who preferred classic style turned to corduroy, sweater vests, and ox- ford shirts. Pleated pants matched with topsiders or saddle shoes were very popular. Nearly every classic wardrobe contained an ar- gyle pattern, in a sweater, vest, or even socks. longer held sional Izod Though preppy no as a label, an occa- or pair of designer jeans could be seen throughout the school. Punk and New Wave continued to flourish. Punk, as most de- scribed it, was spiked bracelets, black leather, and leopard prints. New Wave was represented by checkerboard patterns, polka dots, and geometric designs. Both styles included hair cut to stand on end, even in a Mohawk. Very popular for girls were ankle boots with pant legs tucked inside. Popular to all styles of dress was the denim jacket. New wavers decorated their jackets with con- cert buttons. The ever popular concert T-shirt helped to advertise the groups they had seen. Many girls turned to baggy jeans, but Levi 501's were as popular as ever. Popular to all styles of dress, Chris Headland and Bobi Feeken wear denim 'ackets with various concert buttons 1 . Dorey Anderson's sleeveless shirt, spiked collar and short hair are typical of today's fashion conscious. In high fashion for both girls and guys in '84 is the sweater vest, corduroy blazer, and tie, either in combination or sepa- rate.
