«Jeans, beware! As Stephanie Belk and Kristy Simmons don dress attire and casual wear, both are void of the ever-popular blue jeans. Can’t keep a good man down! The beauty of Melissa Boss, Delenna Swafford, Holley Ramsey. Kellye Pierce, Glenda Keller, and Kristi Bowen gives Matt Bradford all the fashion he needs. A fashion that speaks for itself is displayed by Tonia Fields and Sonya Smith. Wardrobe was furnished by The Clothes Tree. Only two things have more style than a Vette: the beauty and charm of Dana Murray and Dalen- na Swafford.

Full of fashionable pizazz, Carol Aszman, David Williams, and Terri Barrett pause between classes to give a friendly smile. Fashion is extended to the very tips of their fingers as four Bradley High girls display the golden touch. Fourteen carat gold nails could be purchased for approximately twelve dollars. Strutting Our Stuff Twista-beads, parachute pants, “cropped” jeans, leather arm bands, and (Could it be? Yes!) real dresses. These were a few of the necessary items one might have needed to be properly dressed in 1985. Whether we were big, little, tall, or short, we always wanted to be in fashion. Difficult as it was, many students accomplished this tough task. For some of us, the early morning routine of selecting our attire for the day had once been a decision of whether to wear the clean jeans or the dirty ones. Now it was whether to go western, prep- pie, or bizarre. Although the world of fashion was a fast changing one, most strived to main- tain the current stylish look. No matter how outrageous the latest craze, there was always someone to incorporate it in- to his fashion parade. The creativity of dress offered us a chance to be expressive thereby break- ing the monotony of daily routines. For one male a leather tie was a means of expression. For another monotony was shattered with a spike arm band. One girl found her jean mini-skirt and cardigan a measure of creativity while another chose a simulated leopard jump suit with matching slippers. Whatever the Choice, one thing was for sure: dress was a creative outlet none of us could do without. 22 Student Life — Fashion

Emotions in Motion Bradley’s dances offered explosions of energy and excitement. Even if we weren’t a Kevin Bacon (Footloose) on our feet, we always wanted to attend the latest dances. They were some of the most exciting events of the year. When students got together and discarded their inhibitions, a good time was always guaranteed. October’s Homecoming Dance brought much happiness and the soft whispers of fall. Sponsored by the bachlorettes, the dance was an excellent finale to the Homecoming festivities the night before. The theme for the night’s dance was “I Just Called to Say I Love You.” December arrived and with it came the Christmas Dance. While some dance halls were blandly decorated, the well- placed mistletoe along with other decorations made our Christmas room a place for interesting encounters. One of the most “lovely” times of the year was Valentine’s Day. To accom- modate the feelings of love in the air we had our annual Valentine’s Dance. Every girl rushed to get a new dress in order to impress the date of her choice. Intermingled among these highlights were the TAPS dances, which filled many a Friday night for the Bradley students, and of course, what year would be complete without the Junior- Senior Prom? Without a doubt dances of all kinds gave the Bradley High school calendar excitement only they could offer. With eyes meeting eyes, Kathy Collier and Randy Wood, a 1984 graduate, share an evening of dance. 24 Student Life — Dances
