v Anything goes Changes in clothing styles have always been more visible among students than in most other groups of people. This year, however, there was no big fad like the miniskirts and bellbot- toms of the 60s and 70's. It was more a combination of trends from the past, sort of an ttanything goes? There were certain obvious styles though, such as the basic, sporty, comfortable look. To achieve this, one wore a rugby or Ocean Pacific shirt, a pair of checkered Vans or Tretorn tennis shoes, and a pair of faded jeans or sweats. One could also fashion hiswher dress after the Ivy League colleges such as Yale and Harvard, to be considered a ttprep? Preps were easy to recognize. They wore either an oxford or Polo Shirt, and a pair of penny Loafers or dockside shoes. 24dStudent Life WEARING A BLAZER and suede ankle boots, Sheila Merritt listens to Jon Tate and Missy Michael before second period. . :5 Although it wasntt taken to extremes, going punk was also a thing to do. A simple spiked haircut, a torn sweatshirt, or a leather jacket was part of the basic punkerts wardrobe. Many girls were like still into the Valley Girl look. They displayed miniskirts, colored hose, and flat shoes. Other common modes of dress for males included wearing parachute pants, denim jackets, and earrings in one ear. Students usually accepted just about any style one chose to wear. The most popular thing to do was to combine the fads together and come up with an individual look. IN AN ARGYLE SWEATER.

LOOKING AT PROOFS. Heather Halloran, Karen Miller, Andy Black- wood, and Sherry Lytle review their work on the Senior section of the yearbook. Got What Being a senior meant receiving special privileges and esteem. One such honor was being selected as a Student of the Week. Student Council spon- sored a second floor display window to honor seniors who were thought to deserve recogni- tion. The distinction of being a Student of the Week was that not every senior could be one. All members of the National Honor Society were automatically nominated. but not every student who had noteable quali- ties was in Honor Society, therefore, teachers also nominat- ed others that they felt deserved credit for leadership or athletic abilities.

Most of them had participated in school activities such as band, Student Council, Charleston- ian. sports, and clubs. Autobiographical displays including pictures of their childhoods and listings of their accomplishments were put up in a display window. This exhibit case provided everyone a chance to acknowledge the capabilities of these outstand- ing seniors. It also gave those seniors a chance to give themselves a pat on the back for all the hard work and perseverance that they put into their work throughout the year. J. R
