Junior Todd Hall struts a New Wave style. ndividuality Modeled in Style Sitting in the Commons during the sixth period lunch mod, one would become aware of the variations of East, and not just the reconstruction. For instance, the bodies occupying space hold a total count of four pairs of oxfords, four pairs of sneakers, seven pairs of penny loafers and five pairs of boats. Others present a choice of suede or ballet flats. All of this adds up to a world of shoe fashion, but what's the importance? As a totally keen style, the fads and fashions of this year add a new image to East. Instead of the tradition of blue jeans and T-shirts, the students are moving into an area that’s totally tubular. Although the jeans and T’s still exist, punk is com- ing onto more figures, displaying thin ties and sometimes one would spot the minis from the sixties. Like, this new fad doesn’t stop at the wardrobe, though. Punk haircuts match up to the new lingo, Valley Girl. One could sit down and hear the few choice words of grody, joanie, and even aqua velva geek. Along with this new expression, one would see the red, orange, or purple ban- danas strapped anywhere on a person’s body, running with a flipped-up collar. As for a change of roles, more girls seem at- tracted to the ties so much that a few wear them themselves. Masculine cloth- ing is seen on more than just the preppy males. But some still agree with the femi- nine approach. Dresses still make it dressy,” explains Junior Stacy Vanzant. Yes, prep is still in.” The argyle sweat- ers and button-down collars still support the alligators. As for footwear, the ox- fords are still clomping around, with or without pennies (or with dimes!) Although some prefer the bright, flourescent pink, plaid for preps lingers through the halls. Personality has much to do with begin- ning or playing out a fad. For instance, some people would feel insecure wearing the latest. Others are adventurous in clashing colors, eye makeup, and jewelry. To some, particularly sophomores, stay- ing with the styles is a necessity. Sopho- more Samantha Battin sums it all up. Fads are always something you want to keep up with» it’s important to be ’with it.’ ’’ by Marge Goodwin

oontime Kicks and Casualties The clock finally reaches 10:40 a.m.; the crowded hallways empty into the Com- mons as people head for their thing to do during lunch. The roaring of voices begins to cease as the mumble of only a few stu- dents take over. The 10:45 lunch mod is the quietest of the three,” stated Sopho- more Tammy Durand. Sometimes it’s too quiet!” As some students dash off to be first in line for the cafeteria food, others go wild- ly toward the student parking lot trying to decide where to eat. Running to your car is sometimes essential in fear of being bombarded by a mass of water balloons. Other sights are car cramming, and races to McDonalds. Trying to get the same parking place on the return trip is often tried, but usually impossible. The 11:30 a.m. mod usually brings out the sunbathers and once again the water bal- loons. Seeing wet clothes and hair be- comes only a casualty as the noon festivi- ties increase. We hit the girls because we like the satisfaction of seeing them get mad,” commented Junior Ritchie Cain. With the soaking of girls came the writing of passes for home and finally the outlaw of water balloons. I was glad when the guys weren’t allowed to throw water bal- loons anymore, said Sophomore Trina Whipker, It was finally safe to sit out- side.” Occassionally a small crowd would gather around an unofficial football game, or sometimes one could see the whizzing of a frisbee fly into the hands of a partici- pant.
