Do You Have A Pair? In the 50 ' s it was saddle shoes; the 60 ' s gave us Go-Go boots; and platforms dominated the 70 ' s. This year Recboks outnumber- ed any other shoe by far. But why were Reeboks so popular? Junior Tom Freydl attributed their popu- larity to the fact that, Fads catch on quickly in Birmingham, and when one person got Reeboks, the rest of Seaholm did too. Sophomore Reeboks owner Erin Netzloff feels that Reeboks were worn by so many people because of their versatility. Reeboks can be worn with almost anything, said Erin. People can wear them with skirts or with jeans. The sneakers are so versatile that actress Cybil Shepard wore or- ange hightop Reeboks with a black velvet dress to the Acad- emy Awards this year. Red hightop, pink aerobic, gray tennis . . . with so many styles and colors, how was a person to choose his her Reeboks? White hightops and aerobic shoes seemed to be the number one choice of Seaholm Reebok own- ers. But among these styles were sprinkled various other styles and colors. And just what was the price of being in style? Reeboks ranged in price from thirty-four to fifty-two dollars, depending on the style and place of purchase. 1 paid forty dollars for mine, said Eric Further, and 1 would be willing to pay more. With every fad comes the question of how long it will remain in style. Freshman Susie Court- ney predicted that Reeboks will be around for awhile. Reeboks will be like Tretorns, Courtney philosophized. They ' ll never re- ally go out of style. Who knows? Someday our children may be wearing Reeboks. At the end of an exhausting day, junior Peter Landgraii kicks back and rests his Reeboks before his faithful shoes carry him on the trek home. photo by K.

Behind The Wheel Mmm,M .mm: iM.mn Although this may not be the ! car on the most wanted list of teenage drivers, it is the one most commonly seen in the school parking lot- photo by Kathy Morgan The Porsche 911 Turbo and the six cylinder Pontiac Fiero were just a couple of additions to the automotive industry in 1985. But, for many Seaholm teen- agers, the biggest addition to the world of driving was getting their own drivers ' licenses. Only sixteen year olds could explain the Party Animal feel- ing that swept over them when they got their licenses. There were no more wasted dates. For example, going to see movies like Porkys and pretending not to understand anything that is going on because mom and dad arc sitting right next to you and your date would never happen again. Sixteen year olds learned to join the great American pastime of begging for the family car on Friday and Saturday nights. This allowed you to (at least) enjoy a decent comedy with your date, or to drive yourself to the major bash looking suave instead of having mom drop you off. To most people, this family car oks like a station wagon or some other klunker, but to a newly licensed teenager it is the fastest car in the world and Woodward Avenue is the Indy 500 Race Track. It is a great feeling to get behind the wheel with a full tank of gas, said junior Derek Stot- tlemeyer. The arrival of the final driver ' s license is the most exciting day of one ' s life. Junior Jeff Blackward put it best, I ' m finally out on the road. How long I stay there remains to be seen. The 1 986 Porsche 91 1 is just one of the dreamcars newly licensed drivers try their best to con out of their parents. photo by Kathy Morgati UNDERCLASS 111
