BREAKING OUT of the Dress Code During 84-85 lace, neon and parachute pants were popular. For 85-86 it was big shirts, stirrup pants and shaker knits. Eighty- six eighty-seven brought on Cocoa Cola clothes, surf shirts and shades of khaki. But 87-88 has something different to offer to the fashion fad conscious. “It’s casual, yet stylish, the baggy easy look that’s not too tight or really big. Individ- ualists, ” is how Johnna Freeman, a sopho- more, described the current trends. Leather is one of the most popular and prestigious fashion staples. Leather trims, boots, pants, sweaters and jackets. Leather coats, bomber jackets, boots, belts and loaf- ers complement nearly every fashion-minded wardrobe. Jeans have changed too. They are no long- er just prewashed. They're stone-washed, bleached, dyed, bash damaged, frosted and acid washed. Styling has also been altered. Jeans are more tailored to individual tastes. Baggy, tight, pleated, tucked, pocketed or un- pocketed, straight, narrow or peg leg are all in style. Rolled and tucked at the ankle and ripped, frayed knees are personal touches many choose to add. Casual, dressy pants or trousers are rapidly gaining the popularity that jeans have with many students. Woven, textured, plaid, and plain baggy cotton or rayon slacks are a must for the soc-prep look. Knee length and shorter men s pattern shirts are a basic worn by a majority of female students. Combined with various tops and flat shoes it creates that look many desire. Turtlenecks and mock turtlenecks are also a hot item for both guys and girls. Worn with bombers, sweaters, skirts, jeans and knits, turtlenecks have become the “in” thing. Loose-fitting cable knit, textured, and wov- en sweaters made from cotton and wool are a big hit too. Cardigans offer versatile variety and add character, especially when they’re from Dad’s wardrobe. Traditionally worn tennis shoes have been replaced by penny loafers, leather moccasins, Keds and Converse high-tops. Tube socks are left in the drawer more often and instead short cotton or scrunched socks are worn. Color wise, brights and lights have taken the back seat to neutrals. Shades of navy blue, black, brown, gray and cream dominate the color scheme in the halls. AUTUMN STENSEN. CINDI Durkee, Rob Black, and Mike Witherite show off their unique sense of style. KEDS, SUEDES, AND penny loafers are seen daily on many traveled and weary feet. Jeans with strategically tom holes are also in vogue. 1 6—In troduction

PEPSI VS. COKE Pepsi—the choice of Sandy Many staff and students participated in Sandy Union High School's Pepsi vs. Coke Taste Test. The test was put together by the yearbook staff during the week of the Alee Ma Dance so that staff and students could give their input on what they thought tasted the best. Approximately 173 people took part in the test. Although many people wanted to know which drink they had picked right when they tasted the two, the results were not revealed until the Alee Ma Dance. Many participants took guesses about which of the two popular soft drinks they thought was the right choice. The guesses were about half correct. From the taste test, Sandy Union High School students and staff voted for Pepsi, “The Choice of A Hew Generation. The votes were very close with Pepsi gathering 91 and Coke earning 82. Pepsi's victory was by only 9 votes which makes it possible for the results to have been different had more people participated. Participants in the taste test paid only 10 cents to taste a small cup of each soft drink.
