Many different hairstyles are popular at CM. Here, seniors Michelle Martin and Mark Depping and juniors Chad Hausman and Missy Williams show their unique hairstyles. Let Down Your Hair! Hair has grown to new lengths this year with longer locks and curls. Senior Rhonda Martin said, “I love the longer cuts.” Some still have haircuts above the ear, but a popu- lar change is moussing or gelling the hair back. Senior Sarah Miller said, ‘‘Mousses and gels allow more control and freedom with hair styles.” Many girls use colored mousses to change their hair color without the obligation of a permanent hair color- ation. Hair accessories are also in this year. Ba- nana clips with bows and beads are worn. Gathered fabric-covered loops in a variety of colors have replaced rubber bands for fas- tening ponytails. Boys are also opting for longer hair. Spiked hair is seen quite often, but most favor flat-tops. Shannan Norris Time. time, time. Watches with bright pastels were popular this year.

Senior Amy Crispi prefers scarves and oversized earrings for girls. Earrings in any shape and color, texture, and style are hot. Mismatched earrings with anything hanging from hoops have made accessorizing inter- esting and fun. Tie clips, bracelets, and gold chains are in for the guys. Jewelry for guys has hit a new high, and they are wearing more accessories than ever. Swatch watch- es, rubber bracelets, and single earrings are also a favorite of the fashion-conscious CM guy.

Weekend Action Where are you? It is a typical Friday afternoon. Another week of higher education has come to an end, and the halls of CM are now empty. Students have had enough for one week, and they are ready for the weekend. Many students enjoy going to various par- ties, the mall, or just goofing around. Civic Memorial’s students flocked to see many box office hits this year including Fatal At- traction, Dirty Dancing and Three Men and A Baby. “I like to go to the movies and shop in St. Louis,” said senior Beth Mouser. How- ever, many students preferred to wait for the movies to come out on video cassette, as the rising popularity of movie rental stores proved. Many CM students enjoy visiting the area malls. A few of the favorites are St. Louis Centre, St. Clair Square, Alton Square, and Jamestown Mall. At these area malls, CM students head to their favorite stores which include The Gap and Chess King. What about food? No matter what the time of day, CM students love to eat. So they head to their favorite local eateries. Some popular choices for food are McDon- alds, Taco Bell, Snapps, and Pizza Hut. Some students use their time to do such things as wash their car or catch up on homework. However, most students prefer to relax on weekends. As many have found, Saturday mornings are great for catching up on sleep lost during the busy school week or the night before. Furthermore, many CM student attended teen dances this year. The dances were sponsored by various organizations such as KOPE, Student Council, and the K.C.’s. The new CM-based band “Mantas” played at many of these teen dances. No matter what one’s plans for the week- end are, CM students have fun no matter where they go or what they do. Jeff Bour- land “The weekend is a forty- eight hour blur!” — Lau- ra Subick Renting movies is a favorite activity for fresh- man Brian Manley, as well as many other CM students.
