Students Know How To SWATCH What’s In Style What was the trend this year? Watches of every kind and color. The many varieties available included Swatches, Awatches, Coca-Cola watches, and even robot watches. Most of these were available for about thirty dollars. Most trends in clothing were a distinct reflection of the sixties with a little eighties flair. Paisley prints and the layered look were all the rage. In fact, almost any prints were in. In hot weather, a profusion of Jams in a vast array of tropical colors dominated the scene. Students buried the designer jeans in favor of washed-out denims in brands such as Levi's 501, Union Bay, and Guess. Silver and gold metallic accessories such as purses, jewelry, and shoes were shining all over the campus. Not shining were the neon colors of Madonna fame which faded out quickly. New Wave and Punk also adopted a more pastel look, while hi-tops in every color imaginable were seen dotting the campus. Both boys and girls donned boxer shorts with prints ranging from flowers to plaids. Oversized shirts were also a popular item. Many girls wore large tee shirts with various unusual or colorful designs. The Don Johnson look with the padded linen jacket and unshaven face slowly retreated back to Miami. Another fad was Coca-Cola clothing. Coke suddenly became chic once again, as Max Headroom spread the word that everyone should C-c-c-catch the Wave. M A Some of the many varieties available in watches. Some students wore more than one watch on the same arm. Student Life • 13

It’s A Stick-Up! Adjusting To The Parking Policy This year Biloxi High implemented a new policy in regard to parking. Each and every student was required to purchase a sticker for his car. Any person who parked a car at the school without a sticker was called to the office and told to purchase one. The stickers were sold as a part of a project by the AFJROTC for the price of one dollar. Special stickers were given to seniors for senior parking. Several criticisms were made of the new policy. Some students pointed out that the permanence of the sticker prevented them from using their parents' cars when they could not use their own. Others criticized the parking situation in general. Many students have to park next to the railroad tracks on an unpaved surface. Senior parking has been criticized because it becomes muddy and pitted when it rains. The system also showed many advantages. It allowed Mr. Sabbatini to know exactly to whom each car belonged, reducing the number of cars double parked or inhibiting the flow of traffic. The stickers are also an efficient way to maintain senior parking as exclusively for twelfth graders. It is quite evident that the rules will be in effect for a long time to come. They will probably have to be modified slightly next year. Despite any disadvantages, the new policy has been a great success. a SENIOR WRKIN6 ▲ Crowded conditions exist in student parking Although ► Col.
