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.
