Today’s fashions are free and easy Dominating the fashion scene this year were casual, comfortable, wearable styles. Conservative prep and bizarre punk looks added excitement and dazzle to everyone’s wardrobes. Corduroys were seen everywhere. Some were wide-ribbed and velvety in deep colors, while others were less dressy. Cords were dressed up with big fluffy sweaters and pearls, or shirts and knit ties, and dressed down with a favor¬ ite t-shirt or ski sweater and tennis shoes. A variety of thin leather belts added a look that tied tops and pants together. Hitting with a forceful boom was the preppy look. Izod sweaters in vivid col¬ ors were definitely a favorite for both guys and girls with monogrammed sweaters running a close second. Solid colored shirts and blouses were worn under these sweaters which ranged from fire-engine red to bright blue. Deck shoes were also a prep favorite. Coming in a very light to a dark chocolate brown leather, white and navy blue, deck shoes were easily coordinated with jeans, dress pants, and even skirts. Plaid skirts were still popular this year, but we added a new look by wearing thick wool knee Kristi Palmer (top right) displays this year’s prep style, a plaid wool skirt worn with a white blouse and cardigan sweater wrapped around her shoul¬ ders. Laura Lasser (middle) wears leopard skin shorts and top along with sequined hose which are part of the unusual punk rock look. Showing one of the casual looks of the year, (bot¬ tom right) Eileen Naulty wears baggies accompa¬ nied by a sweater with a blouse underneath. socks or leotards. Adding a new and energetic twist was the punk look. Hair styles definitely leaned in the “punk” direction with hair short on top, but shoulder length behind the ears. Girls double pierced their ears and wore dangly gold. Sequins, loud prints, and buttons with names and pictures of favorite groups on them all helped create the punk look. Jeans were as popular as ever. Design¬ ers names were flashed everywhere, making the old standby appear more dressy. Straight legs looked great with cowboy boots, while baggies were often accented with loafers. Headbands were a new accessory used to hold hair back, created a feminine image, or worn around the forehead for a natural, carefree appearance. Sharp, short leather jackets woolly, warm long coats, and bright ski jackets kept students toasty warm during the winter. All in all, styles headed toward a free, easy-going trend. Students had fun with the extravagant punk and clean-cut prep. Corduroys, jeans, skirts, and sweaters remained all time favorites. 20—Fashion

Speaker tells students to try new experiences The ninth annual mid-term gradua¬ tion was held January 22, 1982. The ceremony began with the invocation by Amy Kilburg. The class welcome was then given by senior class president. Bill Lewis. The Reverend Roger Box, pastor of the Emmanuel Baptist Church of Crown Point gave the baccalaureate message. The number of mid-term graduates was cut in half from last year. Only forty-five students graduated in January this year. Miss Marilee Thanholdt, Crown Point English teacher, gave the com¬ mencement address, “How to get the most out of life, and unique qualities in¬ volved in it.” Miss Thanholdt urged the students to be unique and to retain their individuality. She also encouraged the students to try new experiences and to live life to the fullest. The evening ended with the Benediction given by Kim Raybuck.
