Fashions With Qlasses Mark agnet s Lads And IS IT THE MIAMI VICE LOOK? Sophomore Angela White is certainly prepared for action with her risky business ' glasses. Who said that you could not wear that old green shirt that your mom bought for you three years ago? It was with wild, Creative, and vivid imagina- tion that Caddo Magnet High School students transformed the styles of the 1950 ' s into the fashion fever of the 1980 ' s. You could have taken that old shirt, added a pair of neatly rolled up Quess jeans, a blue (well, not neces- sarily blue) jean jacket, pink shoes, a few broaches, and any type of tennis shoes. That was precisely the descrip- tion of the typical attire of a Magnet student. Just as Magnets academic concept was a change from the ordinary, many students took this att itude toward their fashion styles. At Magnet, noth- ing was really considered out of style. ' ' There were as many different fashion trends as there were different personalities. What a person wore ex- pressed what he thought. Jennifer Brasseux, a Senior at Mag¬ net, said, I think too many people try to dress alike. Individuality in tastes is much more interesting than everyone trying to wear the same styles. I think that you should just be yourself.” Magnet students made their marks in the world of fashion. Whether it was for a casual evening or a night out on the town, they always dressed their best. Senior Brian McMew and Junior By- ron Connell both agreed, Laurene Gremillion seems to us to be the most fashionable person at school.” Though clothes were most of what made up fashion, there was another accessory that made it complete. This was glasses. Glasses were definitely a hit at Magnet. The styles ranged from big frames with colored lenses to small frames with no lenses. Shades are the coolest thing next to Moonlighting ' remarked Junior Cari Millender. Glasses were fashionable, but to some people, they were a necessity. Senior Amy Schild remarked, “I love my glasses. My question is ‘Do guys make passes at girls who wear glasses? ' ” On the other hand, some students wore glasses for the fun of it. wear fake glasses sometimes to make me look more intelligent,” re¬ marked Junior Cari Millender. Fashions exhibited Creative new personalities each day. The trends of today reflected the trends of the past. The age of bobby socks, big sweaters, pretty bows. Levis jackets, and Top- siders came back around once again. Though the styles may have been old, Magnet students added their own flair to mark them distinctly Magnet.” WHO IS THE SHARPEST DRESSER? Mr. Trudeau is dressed for a night on the town. Mr. Trudeau. it s only 2:45. YOU RE OH CAHDID CAMERA! Juniors Tracy Widiger, Paul Minniear, Erin Ennis. and Gina hili enjoy going out together and having fun. 28 • MARKinG TIME

Different Dialects Mark Interesting Infuence tudents Currently In Foreign Exchange We didrTt recognize them, but they were there. They didnt stand out, but we noticed them. They had the chance. They went for it. There was a special attractiori to them. The accents, the mystique ... whatever it may have been, the in- trigue was there. The fear of not knowing what to ex- pect can be frightening, especially if you are in a new and foreign country. Dieter Calle, a student from Belgium, recalled, When I didn t know my way to the classes, they helped me. Peo- ple are very nice, especially the girls! When asked what was the first thing he would teli his friends, Dieter said, Hey, there were really nice, and cute girls there!” Despite the fun times that stood out, these students faced the reality of missing horne. Margretha de Bondt, a student from Holland, remembered her first day of school as being diffi- cult, and she wished that she was horne in Holland. Coping with the school bus proved to be more than she could handle. ' Riding the school bus was not very comfortable and it was sooo early. Fortunately after three days, I got a ride to school from ' wacky ' Mare Cireno.” Ute Blumentrath missed the fun times after school. “In Germany, schools usually end at one o clock, so you can spend alot of time with your friends. After school we usually meet at a cafe” in the city and talk.” When one is depressed and horne- sick, what should you do? Ute knew exactly what would cheer her up. I love the American radio channels. You just have to tum on the radio, and there is all this good music. So is the T.V. You never get bored! By the end of the school year, the foreign students will have returned horne and will soon fall back into their normal lifestyles. Memories of the United States will not leave their minds easily. When looking back at their year in America, talk may be de¬ scriptive. Ute will explain her impres- sions of us Americans: Top Secret: never go to America. The Americans are strange !!” BELGIAN POMO! Junior Dieter Calle proves that athletic proficiency is intemational. THE COLOR OF MONEY! Foreign students, BORN TO BE WILD! Jrs. Manuel Arroyo and Adrianna Paz and Margretha de Bondt, Thomas Schuetz gear up for another ride, exchange thoughts on American currency. 30 • MARKIMG TIME
