Eagtu folium tfyfej Fashion! “What will I wear?” “Does it match?” “Will anyone laught at me? “Are you sure it’s in style?” Fashion is a big part of life here, and it changes as every year passes. One used to be able to look around and see a rat tail or a new wave hair cut. This year one would probably see boys with hair cut short enough to stand up on top, and girls with a bob”, or their hair pulled back in a banana clip. During football season the “bald eagles” sported shaved heads and mohawks. Senior Kevin Kappler says, it was a lot of fun, but I don’t think I’d want to do it again. Each year new fads are created, and others are forgotten. A person will no long- er see an OP shirt or an Izod. He will more likely see a paisley shirt, a 10-button Out- back Red shirt, or a variety of Forenza clothing. He will also see oversized sweat- ers, shirts with weird designs and turtle- necks. A person will probably not see para- chute pants but will view Lee, Levi, Chic, and Guess jeans. He will see stirrup pants, leggings, and stone washed denims. Shoes are also a part of fashion. One will see guys in Air Jordan, Converse, or high top tennis shoes. Cowboy boots and boat shoes are also worn. Silver flats are popu- lar among the girls this year, as are boots, Reebok tennis shoes, and different colored flats. Shirts, pants, and shoes are all a part of fashion; accessories also play an important role. Add-a-bead necklaces and both gold and sterling silver chains are popular this year. Tri-gold jewelry was also another popular item. Swatch watches and yarn bracelets are seen around many wrists. Many girls add big earrings and brooches to complement their outfits. Stacy Wilcox Fashions Levi, Guess, and black denim were some of the “in” jeans to wear this year.

Kidnap-murder of baby mystifies area The summer of 1986 brought the strange and tragic case of the kidnap-mur- der of a local infant and brought national attention to the tiny community of Brigh- ton. On June 17, a masked gunman alleg- edly burst into the home of Robert and Paula Sims, snatching their 13-day-old in- fant from her bassinet and racing off into the night. This began one of the most bi- zarre cases this area has ever seen. The body was found 150 feet from the Simses’ home exactly seven days after the mother had called the police. The father was at work at the time of the incident. All parties related to the case took a lie detec- tor test, and the Jersey County sheriff said that the couple failed theirs, despite their earlier statement to the contrary. No charges were ever filed in the case, which still remains as one of the most mys- tifying in years. Reportedly, the parents have since gone into seclusion, selling their house and leaving the area.

What exactly is ’slan- guage’? It is the language or infor- mal vocabulary particular to a cer- tain group, in this case CM stu- dents. Slang originates in the student body. Someone will say something and others will think it sounds awesome so they start saying it. Before long everyone is say- ing it, and no one knows who said it first. This years’ CM slanguage includes such phrases as Get a life! , I’m scared of you!”, and Oh sure! Many students also use the expressions “Chill Out!’’, Home- boy , Homegirl , and Buckethead.” Stacy Wilcox
