ability to teach skills and disci- pline. With the di- rection and help of the teachers, the clubs at Coronado are made possible. Each year at Coro- nado, at least one new club is added to the previous collec- tion. They give stu- dents the chance to explore their indi- vidual fields of in- terest. With the activities of clubs going on throughout the year, T-Birds never had idle time. Individuality, creativity, and originality pre- vailed with the class of nineteen eighty-eight. Such original activities included the senior class carnival, constitution week, and the fair of na- tions. This class will always be re- membered for these innovations, thus earning the title Traditions ’88. OPENING

Around the Coronado cam- pus in the year 1987-1988 people could be seen expressing their attitudes and personalities through their attire. Proud Coro- nadoans as always were dressed fashionably whether they were conservative or trendy. Fashion for Coronado students was and al- ways has been a top priority. Many trends returned form past decades. Boys and girls were seen wearing tie-dyed and acid-washed clothing. For girls, tweed, plaid, and denim miniskirts with matching sweaters or jackets were the “in” thing. Boys at Coro- nado could be seen wearing surf- wear such as Quicksilver, Bil- labong, and Maui and Sons. Footwear for boys and girls included oxfords, Bass moccasins, various skinned shoes, the ever- popular penny loafers, multi-col- ored Keds, and Vans. Popular accessories included wide leather bells, patterned scarves, and bomber jackets, which were an expensive addi- tion to wardrobes in 1987-1988. Many girls could also be seen car- rying Dooncy and Bourkc, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, faux crocodile and stone-studded purses. As always, Coronadoans were in search of new styles to express their individuality. Each student tried to look his or her best for every occasion.
