The clas- sic prepara- tion, confron- tation, then acceptance or rejection of the date dilemma continued. Even though there was the question of what to say and how to say it, the students at Agoura High managed to keep a high percentage of people in the dating scene. In 1988, in general, people didn't freely date as they had in past years, but they did go outfsteady with someone. The actual difference be- tween dating and going outfsteady was small, but meaningful. You were either boyfriend or girlfriend with someone, if you were going out! steady or if you were just dating people, you weren't tied down . The majority of female Agoura High students preferred to date someone on a staggered basis rather than go- ing outfsteady with someone. The males at Agoura, however, preferred going outfsteady with someone and having a lasting relationship rather than dating on occasion. An unex- pected turn-out or not? Don't worry guys, there are girls out there Doug Hastings and Sandy Barrabec, snuggle close on a winter's day. These two were the ideal choice for class couple in '88. 54 Couples mm 466 wcltdme. who want a relationship! So, where did guys escort their dates? Up to the point or down by the lake? Or maybe to dinner and a movie or just a romantic stroll on the beach? All of these locations seem to be popular hot spots for a night out. But the whole point was to have a good time ... right? tThen again, it all depended on who spent the moneylj When asked, Agoura High students were questioned as to what they liked to do and where they liked to go on a date. A lot of students said they liked to go to the Oaks for a movie then either cruise or just talk . Another popluar date was going to a good dinner then taking a moonlight stroll on the beach . More original ideas were going ice- skating or 'fminiature golfing . For even more originiality, how about taking a date to play a sport hefshe didn't know how to play ? Most Agoura couples were not very picky about where they went. As long as they were with someone they cared about, almost any place would do. -jennifer Grossman

Hair: Most girls had an anything goes attitude. Some grew their hair long, while others cut it short. Some permed or colored their hair, but many chose to leave it in a more natural state. A survey of girls' bath- rooms, however, turned up a fair share of Merci Gellef Vidal Sassoon, Finesse, and Dep. Butterfly clips, ba- nana clips, and rubber bands were also scattered throughout girls' rooms and were used to secure braids or to tie back long hair. Books: Warriner's, American Gov- ernment, Algebra 2, and Physics: Its Methods and Meanings were all ti- tles of books students loved to read. Besides toting them to and from school, students adored the assign- ments - biology labs, ISPs, and DCEs - that went along with them. Watch: Swatch, Gucci, Timex, and Rolex were all found wrapped around student's wrists. No matter what the brand, time passed too slowly in class. Skirt: The miniskirt made a tremen- dous comeback. Esprit and Guess?, denim and cotton, were all seen across campus. Not just a fashion statement, miniskirts also were a means of displaying a hard-earned California tan. For the more modest girls, there were also longer cotton skirts, often worn with fringed boots. 56 Trends Make-up: Throughout the year, the natural look was in. Only the most basic make-up - powder, eyeliner, eye shadow, and mascara - was used by most girls. Pastels and blacks and browns were popular colors. Vaseline often replaced lip- stick. Not wanting to let go of old habits, some girls continued to ex- periment with unusual colors to achieve a more exotic look. Smile: The perfect smile was often achieved through years of metallic imprisonment, generously paid for by parents. A smile was also a sign of greeting and a means of conveying the idea, Hey, I would really like to get to know you better. Needless to say, it was quite effective. lacket: Most jackets were light- weight due to the temperate South- ern California weather. A jacket was still necessary, though, to ward off the 7:00 a.m. morning chill. Labels such as Guess?, Esprit, Levi's, and Generra were probably a part of ev- ery girl's wardrobe. Purse: A girl's purse was her home away from home. lt housed all those items that a girl could not leave home without. A girl's bag la more appropriate description than purse i was usually large enough to house a week's worth of grocer- ies. Other must items included make-up, mirror, food, notes to friends, wallets, photos, and the all- important brush and hair spray. Shoes: The greatest invention since socks, shoes of many styles were laced up or slipped on. On the sneaker scene, L.A. Gear and Ree- boks won the race for popularity. Pumps, flats, and boots were also widely seen. The more nostalgic la- dies often chose Birkenstocks and other sandals reminiscent of the '60s.
