Chée As. always fads and fash- ions were important to the AHS student. It seemed ev- eryone had an individual style. Some days students dressed up wearing a con- servative outfit and on oth- ers a colorful, flamboyant one. How they dressed often reflected their moods. No matter how dressed, let’s face it; there were some items that everyone thought were way cool. For example: turtlenecks, rug- bies, Guess jean jackets, black Reeboks, Gennera sweatshirts and Swatch watches. Acid washed jeans were extremely spiffy and it seemed everyone owned a pair. Jean jackets were very popular, expecially if they were acid washed or had lots of saftey pins on them. Colors were almost as im- portant as the outfit..Wear- ing black was a very big fad. Whataya want?- Correy Sanders senior, shows off his rugby while Wit lie Anderson, senior, eats lunch The Mod Look- Dan Bruno and Des demona Bandini hang out in a hall Hot Weather garb- Tiffany Blanchard Michele Gilchrist, Kristen Gardner and Carla Mounsey catcn some rays sophomores Wheather you were a rocker, nu-waver, or a mod you probably had totally back outfits. Colors were differ- ent, however, on warmer days. On these days people dragged out anything bright. Especially in: white, pink, and turquoise. “| think it’s cool the. way everyone has their own style,’’ said Susan Lew, sophomore. —by Tim Folsom Fads and Fashions 21
