What better way to bring pep assem- blies back with style than the installation of sturdy new bleachers. Not only have students stood or jumped while cheering on them, they have also sat there patiently and awaited the announcement of yet an- other award-winning team as a captain presented Mr. Przybysz with their trophy or plaque. Complementing these was the recently aid gym floor bearing the symbolic Ad- ams ' Eagle. It expressed the strength, stamina, and sportmanship that the teams and the school possessed.

The murmuring hushed as Mr. Przybysz stepped up to the microphone and asked, Who ' s gonna win tonight? The enthusi- asm that had had the prior year to build up was suddenly and forcefully set free when everyone yelled - - We are! Smiles broke out on the faces of hundreds of infa- mous Adams Eagles ' fans. Even the fresh- men were involved. One of the excited novices proclaimed, At the pep assembly, there weren ' t any outsiders. Everyone was an important part of the action! Changes 13

Adams ' athletic director, Mike DeVault began his career in one of the most presti- gious spots, athletic director. I wouldn ' t have accepted this job at any other school. The reputation at Adams of academics and athletics, is, in my mind, unmatched. I feel both honored and chal- lenged. It was a big task just to know all the different twenty-seven different sports, but achieving the organization and communi- cation DeVault was looking for, presented him with an herculean task — one which he was well capable of, and had already- proven worth the praise.

Senior, Amy Richards, commented, compared to last year ' s lab, there is more room and much more organization. As a result students showed more interest in the field of pho- tography and more students also enrolled in the class. The photography lab should now add a new dimension to the academic program at J.

Keeping With The Times At J.A The fashions of the 1985-86 school year took a new twist. The days of ruffles and dressing up were over, and everything was casual. Paisely was definitely in. These little de- signs could be found on anything from shirts and sweaters to pants and skirts. Even socks, purses, and pins were covered with those little squiggly shapes. The classic sweatshirt was a big hit for 86, usually coupled with an oversized shirt left untucked. The look was complete when worn with a pair of Guess jeans, either plain, flowered, or plaid. Costume jewelry hit an all-time high. Long beaded necklaces and broaches with multi-colored rhinestones adorned the stu- dents. The latest fad was a Swatch watch. Hairstyles for the girls turned modern. Short, blunt cuts were top fashion, but bobs and curls were popular also. As far as the guys were concerned, the punk style with curls in the back, and short up front. Coats varied from big, puffy jackets to long, black trenchcoats. The big emphasis was on scarves and mittens. Bright colors in plaids, paisley, stripes, and checks were popular. The carefree styles of this year ' s fashion dominated the student body along with the faculty at J.A. nek, and Julie De w ' ld ones.
