What’s hot? What’s not? Students keep pace with short hair and parachute pants What's hot? Trends in fashion changed as fast as the seasons. The look went from tight jeans and shirts to the oversized man's-wear look. To be in vogue, girls wore neckties, wingtip shoes and baggies. Hair styles also experienced a masculine trend. In- fluenced by the Punk movement, many magazines featured the short, short hair for girls. What better way to play up a short hairstyle than with a mousse or gel which kept every hair in place? Pierced ears were a big part of the feminine look. Two, three or even four earrings in one ear lobe were popular. Copper or shiny col- ored earrings in the long, dropped style were seen. The guys were wearing parachute pants made of slippery, durable nylon. Some guys copied their favorite rock star by wearing a dangly earring. The dress code on campus was enforced. Fashion conscious gals had to first consider the bdsic re- quirements of a white blouse and a uniform skirt or pants. The guys had to wear a collared shirt and non- jean dress pant. These rules were met or the offender could receive detentions, cuts in closses, or spend free times in the R.L.C. One contro- versy orose over wearing sweat- shirts with uniforms. Students wore sweaters instead. The hallways were filled with people wearing unique shoes. For guys, a penney loafer or % high type of gym shoe was in, while the gals preferred to wear moccasins, saddle, or flat shoes with colored hose, fancy Argyle or lace- trimmed socks. Students kept pace with the new trends in and out of school. 16 feature

John Spiegel says Mass in the chapel For the Homecoming Mass Clare Kadavy and Bob Bush bring up the gifts Praise Him morn and noon Religion was more than a class at Assumption. It was rather, the entire atmosphere of joy that pervaded the school. We cele- brated our synergy liturgically by praying with each other and for each other. Students could be found at daily Mass in the chapel at 7:40 a.m. joined by Assumption neighbors and at mod 9. All-school Masses had the participation of students and were held on Holy Days and for spe- cial events. Students lectored, brought gifts to the altar, sang in the choir and played in the band. Fr. Joe Nassal from the Social Action depart- ment of the Davenport Diocese helped us celebrate Thanksgiving Mass. Students collected canned food and money for the poor. At Christmas time homerooms spon- sored a child and collected money to buy gifts for them. During Advent and Lent communal penance ser- vices took place in the gym and priests from all over the city came. On April 17 a school retreat was held with speaker Fr, Andrew Miners. Stu- dents met with him in January to dis- cuss plans for the retreat. Katie Kearns reads a passage in the Bible for the communal penance service. 18 retgious fefe
