Summmn aumtpointg lVlost stusdents vacation with adult supervision, their family, a church group. Two seniors, however, have changed this unwritten rule. Steve Raber and Brad Sneed have made unsupervised trips out of state during the past two summers. This summer the two flew to Arizona where they went camping at West Clear Creek Canyon, which is about 60 miles from Flagstaff, where Steve's older brother lives. Steve's brother dropped them off at the canyon and the two pro- ceeded on their own for four days. We didn't have a set sched- ule, said Brad, We just played it by ear. They spent a lot of time fishing and they also enjoyed hiking. During one hiking trip they left in the morning taking only their cameras. When they left they staked their tent with three stakes, even though they didn't need to because they have a tent that stands on its own. When they returned to their camp after their hike the tent was moved about 30 feet, almost in the water and the stakes were in the same place. Something or someone had gone through their packs and equipment, but nothing was missing. lt's still a mystery as to what happened. Seniors Brad Sneed-bottom and Steve Raber right, did a lot of hiking while camping in Arizona. lil? Brad Sneed and Steve Raber get ready to venture out on their own.

From the '5Os with poodle skirts and hulla-hoops, through the '7Os with bell bottoms and disco, to the '80s with parachute pants and break dancing, generations have been identified by their fads. ln the '80s fads have centered around individuality. Clothes have become less conser- vative, hairstyles have gone from the traditional cuts to new wave and colored styles, each showing individuality of the person and his environment. The conservative students chose the tailored preppie look, while more daring students created styles of their own with baggy shirts, bright colors, chains, gloves and spikey hair. Another fashion that came about during the '80s was girls piercing their ears more than once and guys having one ear pierced. A factor that influenced fashion in 1984-85 was rock videos and the new cable TV channel lVlTV. People were entertained by TV music videos, TV video games, and home Video Cas- sette Recorders which came with the electronic and computer era.
