If you remember anything about your last year at Classical in 1984, you will remember what you wore every day to school — what was inand what was out! Miniskirts were back along with the revival of Pumps and cardi- gan sweaters. Both Guys and girls wore v-neck sweater vests, button down shirts, thin ties, polo shirts, and dress pants, as well as everyday cor- durouys, jeans, teeshirts, and sweats, when they did not feel like getting “dressed to kill’. A new fashion trend among girls was inspired by the movie Flashdance. As a result of this film, Cut-off sweatshirts were a common sight in the halls of Classical Wally Hojnowski demonstrates the Preppy look. There were also those students who didn‘t conform to any of the fashion trends or styles and just wore what they felt most comfortable in. In fact you could wear just about anything and still look good. Probably the most memorable as- pect of the fashion in 1984 was that } just about anything was in, from Punk 6 Student Life to Preppy. You were almost guaran- teed to see something new every day.

Slowly she rose, tears flooding her eyes and began fo say, “Chino, how do you fire this gun ... ?” Sounds real, doesn’t it? Well, the audience at “West Side Story’’ was stunned by the in- tense drama and the amount of work that was put into the production. The endless hours of practice put in by the choreographers, musi- cians, and students from all four city high schools, Classical, Commerce, Putnam Voca- tional and Technical, was comparable to that of professionals. The play was shown from May 410 to May 15 at Duggan Jr. High School. Mr. Mark Todd, the director, commented, “It was the combined talent of the four high schools that pulled this show off. This city has many talented youth and “West Side Story” proved it.” When asked which performance was most exciting, Monique Rowtham, a senior, replied, “Every night was just as exciting as the night before but the different audiences helped to make each night a new experience.” The general response from all who participated was, If there’s another play like that one, we'll be there!” Above Right: Terrell Winston and Henry Pagan set the date for the rumble.
