As our experiences widened, most of us dedicated ourselves to a special interest which we found personally rewarding. For many students, the old stand-bys of coin and stamp collecting just couldn’t provide the needed excitement. Many found that they were more suited to the offbeat, and hobbies offered a limitless variety of ac- tivities to choose from. Par- ticipants gladly put up with many a raised eyebrow and questioning glance to pursue their hobbies, which often required large amounts of time, patience, and skill. During the previous year, a group of students turned an avid interest in medieval culture into the Medieval Re-creation Society, giving them the opportunity to learn through role playing medieval characters. Senior Becky Thompson grass skiied for five years, winning the United States Grass Ski Association’s American Cup, making her the nation’s best women’s grass skier. From societies to sports, we put our in- dividual talents to work, using our excess energy to add a little color to our daily lives. Anxiously awaiting Todd Treichel’s roll of the dice in a game of Dungeons and Dragons is Schultz. Smith and Bob Robinson struggle.

Prep...Punk...Sophisticate-Weste- rn...Designer...All-American. Each of these looks revealed itself in the fashion scene. For the preppie per- son, oxford cloth shirts, Dickie's and Cheenos, skinny ties, plaid wool skirts, blazers, monogramm- ed wool sweaters, and docksiders were popular. Anything imaginable or outrageous was worn by punk rockers, whose dress had a touch of fantasy. For the sophisticated look, girls wore straight skirts with slits, sweater dresses, blazers, and then completed the look with pumps or ankle strap sandals; guys wore dressy three piece suits with or without ties. Cowboy hats, boots, jeans, and vests all rode in with the Western trend. Designer fashions such as Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, Jordache, and Bon Jour were stylish, and many people paid a little more for the label. The most common look was the ‘■all-American” look which in- cluded Levi’s, concert T-shirts, Nike’s, letterman jackets, and surf shirts. The various looks were as individual as the people wearing them, and it was obvious that almost anything went. Anything Goe Sophisticated and stylishly dressed, Becky Payne waits for the end of study hall. The preppie look is in. and Julie Lekstrom looks ready to hit the college scene. 22 Active Duty
