mil alll Although the feeling on campus this year was We All Belong, it was obvious to those who observed student fashion that individuality was the most impor- tant factor in determining what stu- dents wore. Students' personalities de- termined their preferences, mixing and matching current fashion trends, creat- ing unique styles of clothing, and even played a part in students! choice of automobile. Clothing styles ranged from the con- servative to the wild and daring. From backpacks to bookbags, sneakers to pumps, the ways things were worn had a direct relationship to a person's char- acter. For every person, there was a dif- ferent and unique style which mirrored the personality. The student parking lot contained a wide variety of vehicles. From broken- down models to the more expensive Mercedes 360 S.L., students were bent on finding a set of wheels to get them around. Whether self-paid or parent- funded, many managed to get a car. Campus styles demonstrated the di- versified personal statements students chose to make. Although students may have had less of a choice of automobile, the various cars nevertheless added to the diversity of styles and color that converged on the Marcos de Niza cam- pus.

Sfmt 50? l aol? Syizriff School spirit exploded early in the year prompted by strong participation from a rowdy group of juniors. Stu- dents displayed enthusiasm by partici- pating in various activities during spirit assemblies The first assembly of the year psyched students for the annual rivalry between Marcos and McClintock. This assembly also included the traditional freshman initiation. Freshmen enter- tained the upperclassmen by bobbing for greased eggs, eating pepper sand- wiches, rolling balls around the gym with their noses, and catching pies in their faces. Although the student body may have come to the assembly feeling sluggish and unspirited, they left ex- cited and confident that Marcos would find victory over McClintock. All of the pep assemblies seemed to follow this pattern, with emotions running higher after the assemblies. Chants and class competitions were popular with all of the classes and arose at the most unexpected times. While the pommies and cheerleaders performed for the student body, rais- ing spirits for the games, the band did its part by playing the fight song, alma mater and other lively tunes led by Drum Majorette, Anjanette Bigler. Adam Phillips, Matt Armstrong, Troy Gray, Brandon West and Steve LaLonde played an important role in promoting spirits, performing as the first male cheerleaders at Marcos. These lively assemblies played a ma- jor role in raising spirit at Marcos de Niza. Top: Ted DeQuina, junior, sings for Marcos stu- dents during a lunch-hour spirit assembly.
