fs 7 Nt. The guys enjoyed wearing comfortable ma- dras shirts this year. Bermuda shorts, both plaid and solid, were also very popular. Jeffrey Martin, when asked why he liked to wear Bermuda shorts, said that l like to wear them because they show off my sexy legs. However, the crew cut was a fad enjoyed by only a few members of the football team. The lower schoolers favored the preppy look this year. Most of them wore lzods and Polos. During the warmer weather shorts were worn, while during the fall and winter the lower schoolers sported jeans. Most girls and boys wore either Nike or Converse tennis shoes or Campsiders. In other words, over the past few years, the styles on the Brookstone campus have not seen many drastic changes. The basic blue jeans, polos, and tennis shoes come back every year, and will probably be here for many years to come. Il Missi Murray msn wwf , fm Fads and Fashions f l 7
