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.

pptae e tTuff fakes a dusting! The 1985 Powderpuff game was a victo- ry for the junior class as they defeated both the freshmen and sophomores. In the first game against the freshmen, the junior girls struggled to beat them and did succeed due to an outstanding perfor- mance by Tricia Troester, who proved her athletic skill by completing almost every pass thrown. The freshmen, though quite aggressive, were defeated by a score of 14- 13. The second game between the sopho- mores and the seniors was close and excit- ing. Both classes scored one right after the other, but fortunately sophomore, Lara Johnson, was last to score which put the sophomores in the finals with a score of 14-13. The final game left the juniors vic- torious over the sophomores only by yard- age in overtime. 16 Powderpuff
