Talented Critters Besides the homework, the foodfights, and the hallguards, there are many differ- ent kinds of talent and creati ity to be found at our school. There are those who bring the world of music to our ears, and those who create a picture just by a stroke of a brush or pen. This is just a glimpse of the fine arts wait- ing to be discovered. From music to paint- ing, or writing to drawing, we at Adams are fortunate to behold these.

Yep, It ' s Prep! The 1980-81 school year can best be remembered as the year of the Izod and the cowboy hat. Our two dominating fashions were the Eastern Preppie look, and the Western Cowboy look. The Preppie style consisted of the ever-popular Izod sweater and shirt, monogram sweater and shirt, Calvin Klein jeans, and boat shoes, or penny loafers. For the cowboy and cowgirl, Levis were common, along with western shirts, belts, boots, hats, and sharp corduroy blazers. The casual look was a simple pair of jeans, a Campus sweats- hirt bearing the name of a favorite university, or perhaps a ski sweater or warm-up jacket. Shoes for this style of dress were loaf- ers and Nikes , an athletic shoe, which quickly passed up the famous Adidas for popularity. RIGHT: Cathy McWilliams prefers the casual Preppie look. Margaret Hanlon and Joe Carper chose the Preppie look for their style. 12-Life

YIPPEE! WTiat is considered priceless but cannot be stolen from the halls of John Adams? it ' s spirit , of course! Spirit is the force which compels us to rise to our feet during the school song, cheer with our fellow class- mates at pep assemblies, and even march in the rain on a muddy football field for a star-spangled half-time show. Spirit is present to make us strive to get that win- ning point in the game, or to study that extra hour to see Honor Roll stamped on our report cards.
