Juniors Brooke Warberg and Greg McCunn sport classic styles in school. Walking down the school halls, one encountered a flare for every style imaginable. I Photo bv Michelle Sukinl ress Code s ould l wear today? Plaids, polka dots, stripes, or solids? How about Esprit or Union Bay? This was the dilemma that almost every student con- fronted before heading for school. There was no certain style that students followed. Most just put their individuality and unique tastes to use. Walking down the hall one encountered a splash of assorted colors, a more hip look, and the casual everyday blue jeans and t-shirts. fl The tradition of the all- E'American denim look topped fhe fashion scene with faded J f clothes, fringed jean jackets, denim and rhinestone shirts, and even denim-like shoes to complete the outfit. The baggy look came back once again, but instead of a girl buying a big shirt in a women's store, they started shopping in the men's department. Girls weren't alone in this style. The guys also wore oversized sweat- shirts and patterned shirts to ex- press their tastes. The diversity in fashion trends made everyone realize that anything and everything was in.

THE REAL PICTURE. Crises in the world kept the country in a state of alert. The year of '87, with its ter- rorists, arms races, and AIDS epidemic became known as the year of fear. iPhoto by Tina Skoglundi 4 My biggest fear was the crack down on DLll's QDriving Under the ln- fluencej. lt's scary to think of my friends driving drunk. - Mike Larson My biggest fear was the outlaw of steroids. - Mike VanTine ,Ll1.ll--1- I feared the events in the Persian Gulf and Latin America X because the CLS. could get involved, and then l could get drafted. - Steve Sukin 1 8 Student Life IM Q XS' is fam 40635 Sox 53 g as, if .

Withscrises in every corner of the world, students found little to smile about. Students suffered from many phobias: fear of the Ira- nian crisis, fear of getting AIDS, fear of crack addiction, and fear of nuclear war between the super powers. The best way to cure these phobias, students thought, was to avoid discussing these topics. They avoided discussing anything distinguishable by ad- ding Ujibbering jibbish to their vocabularies. I always catch myself using slang words. I have a hard time with my parents because they don't speak the same said. Expressions meant exactly the opposite of what was said. This confused parents and teachers and made com- munication difficult. Students used expressions Iike Hi, smart meaning one is not real- ly smart, but acting rather stupid. Or Ya rudie meaning a nerd or geek, and even cute girl which was basically a sar- castic remark aimed at nobody in particular. Other phrases included Oh my, that is deep, and That's weak. These expressions found their way into many of the stu- and it became increasingly clear exactly just what each one meant-clear to the students, that is. When I first started teaching, students favored expression was 'real georgef I don't even know if kids even knew what it meant. For sure, I didn't. Since then, I've had less trouble ffiguring out what kids meantjf' English teacher Charles Nesbit said. Students used these expres- sions to avoid unwanted topics - an avoidance syndrome suitable for students who wanted to enjoy their last days in high school before reality set in-U -Michelle sukin
