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.

You were almost guaran- teed to see something new every day.
