Truly On Friday, May 13, 1983, blaring radios and take- outs from McDonald ' s sustained many hard- working Juniors during hours of decorating as they transformed the gym for the 1983 Junior Prom, Tru- ly . The excitement increased throughout the day as streamers were raised and tables were set for the occasion. Their diligent efforts were not in vain. After days of continuous rain, the class of 1984 was overjoyed at the timely appearances of sun and warm oreezes on prom day. In fact, the weather was just perfect for all those parents who just couldn ' t take enough pictures of tneir children as they were leaving for dmner. Many popular spots for dining enjoyed by Junior Prom couples included The Wayside Inn, The Colonial Hilton, Alphonso ' s, and, of course, Cory ' s of Lexington. Unfortunately, the beautiful weather failed to sustain through the even- ing, halting many plans for hitting the beach on Sunday, but for the prom itself the day couldn ' t have been nicer. Once inside the gym, couples were surprised by its spectacular transformation. Alternating red and blue streamers created the perfect romanhc atmos- phere beneath the dim lights, while the hand-built illuminated fountain hignlighted the scenery and served as a wonderful background for taking pic- tures between dances. The band Fantasy played throughout the evening and later chose the King and Queen as well as their court from a group of finalists. Crowned as King and Queen were Scott Filleul and Maureen Bench, who were attended by Leslie McLaughlin, Janine McLaughlin, Tricia Burns, Kim Colliton, Chris Birch, Greg Moll, Jim DeVellis, and Ken Cinder. a Night to Remember 12 JUNIOR PROM Above: The court from left to right (top row): Chris Birch, Greg Moll, Jim DeVellis, Ken Cinder; (bottom row): Janine McLaughlin, Kim Colliton, King Scott Filluel, Queen Maureen Bench, Leslie McLaughlin and Tricia Burns.

In New York and Paris, designers crank out the newest fashions for the 80 ' s. Everything from im- itating Chinese styles to tafetta, glitter, and a re- turn to the basics are what ' s in ' now. Girls are once again looking like girls, boys are looking like boys. People now care more about how they Took, and how they present themselves through what they wear. There are also many fashions geared towards teenagers. These include preppy, valley girl, and this summers ' hottest new style, flashdance! Any- thing can affect what we wear — movies, music, books, other people. What you wear is the best indicator of how you feel about yourself. That ' s why clothes are so important. In Bedford there are many different styles. There is an undisputed rule, however, that jeans are the staple of every person ' s wardrobe. Girls and boys alike wear jeans — usually Levi ' s — but freshmen can wear Designer, some once a week, others ev- eryday. There is no set rule on how to dress in Bedford, but for those of you who sHll need some fashion tips here are the general guidelines. At Bedford High School there are basically four different styles of dress: jock, casual, prep, and classy. First there is the jock. If you want to dress like a jock, you must own a pair of turf shoes. These can DC worn with anythmg, including your Levi ' s, (tight), rugby shirts, Nike or Adidas shirts, hooded sweatshirts, and athletic pants. The casual style emphasizes old Levi ' s, work boots, and worn t-shirts. But most importantly, the casual dresser must wear long johns with a flannel shirt over it. The prep who walks down the halls wearing plaid pants, argyle sweaters, and penny loafers (but never together — they don ' t match!). The preps stay together, all wearing their new Levi ' s and docksiders. Everything thev wear matches, so if you don ' t have an eye f r color, stav away Finally, there is the ciassv dresser. The students in this group are usually girls, but there are a few guys too. These girls have their own kind of style, wearing skirts, or pants with heels. You nohce them wnen they walk down the halls, for they are the ones with tne expensive clothes and an air of authority. If you don t have a lot of money, avoid this style. It runs into megabucks. The easiest thing to do is to develop your own style. Wear what suits you best, and you ve got it made! ART OF DRESSING 11
