Styles Of The Year Stvles, like everything else, change very quickly and sometimes dramatically. This year there were many new styles that were introduced throughout the vear. Probably the most talked about trend was the shortest trend, In more than one wav. Some of the guys, mostly on the wrestling team, decided to get mohawks. It caused quite a bit of laughter, surprise, and attention, but as soon as their hair had grown out, the style was over. Bobbed hair cuts became very popular with the girls and lasted all year. There were a lot of extremes in the styles of clothing that we wore. They ranged from oversized shirts, sweaters, and pants, to close-fitting mlnl-jean skirts and long jean skirts. Jean jackets covered with button-pins were also frequently seen in our halls. It will be quite interesting to see what will be walking through the school next vear. Jean jackets were quite popular this year, and are being modeled by: front row, Angela Hoppenworth, Larry Anderson, Lisa Fetter, Tracy Stevens, Kim Todd, Kris Alexander, Julie Wilkinson, Chris Jerleckl; back row, Debbie Weller, Stacy Lewis, Roger Boshaw, Kathy Vassallo, Becky Turner, Andy Oliver, John Slemen, and Brian Torzewskl. Juniors Laura Partlo, Heather Blackwell, Dawn Dennison, and Michelle Harbour show different ways to wear the black boots and mini skirts that came in style this vear. FEATURES 28

Sports Banquet Mr. Regan and the Athletic Department tried something new last year concerning the sports awards ceremonies. In the past there were three sports banquets(Fall, Winter, and Spring), where the parents would bring in dishes of food for a carry-in-dinner. After everyone had eaten, the awards ceremony would begin with each coach introducing his team, talking about their season, and then handing out specific awards. Mr. Regan decided that three banquets each year was a lot to take on and they lasted too long, so he cut back to just two. Now there are two sports banquets and one awards ceremony. The awards ceremony is held in the high school cafeteria instead of the junior high. The teams are simply introduced and awards handed out. After all the teams are finished, refreshments are served. During the Fall Sports Banquet, Mr. Groner, coach of cross country, hands senior team member Rick Gutierrez his captain's award. Mr. Radske, head varsity football coach and freshmen boy's basketball coach, is busily feeding himself during the Fall Sports Banquet. To the right of him is Mr. Fracassa, offensive coordinator for the freshmen football team. Changes Made This vear the Fall sports teams had a banquet on December 2, 1986. The meal was served and then the football teams, girl's basketball teams, golf, cross country, and equestrian teams were recognized. The Winter teams simply had an awards ceremony this year. All teams, which included volleyball, wrestling, and guy's basketball, were still given the recognition they deserved for their great seasons, even though it wasn't a banquet. A banquet was held for the Spring teams, which are girls softball, baseball, girls and boys track, and tennis, on Thursday, May 28, 1987. These teams were introduced and given their individual awards after the dinner. FEATURES 29
