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.

OUT TO LUNCH For Coronadoans, the I 1:30 bell meant dif- ferent things to many people. To some whose top priority was not eating, lunch meant club meetings, study sessions and making up tests. For those who were going out to ap- pease their appetite different places and dif- ferent ways of getting there were used. For those who didn't have cars, lunch meant time to bum rides off upperclassmen, or hit the pavement and walk to Wcincr- snitzel or Taco Bell. For those more athletic, Arby’s was their destination. If walking was too hard, the cafeteria awaited. Lucky upperclassmen with big appetites could be seen peeling out of the parking lot enroute to Charcoalcr or Leo's. If funds were short, spaghetios and soap operas were an alternative to going out. - LUNCH
