Michele Songer and Jeff Archer are ready for a night on the town while displaying the tuxedo attire. Before the bell, Elaine O'Bannon and Beth Mason exhibit the extremes in fashion: a skirt and a blazer vs jeans and a sweatshirt. 22 Fads and Fashions

Dear To Your Heart . . . For Matthew, Mark, and Jeff, it was cans. For Jackie, it was alligators. And what was it for you? What was YOUR prized possession? In 1982 people had different kinds of collections, but some people's collections were more than just that; some were real treasures! Matthew and Mark Browning, along with Jeff Autor, had been collecting pop cans for three years and accumulated over 400 different cans. They even obtained cans from Canada and Puerto Rico. Freshman Jackie Sollers collected alligators. Said Jackie, I am not a conformist. If I were, I would collect cats, strawberries, butterflies, or something common. Since I am not a conformist I like to collect alligators because they deviate from the normal. In addition to Jackie, freshman Ginger Hillard collected rainbows to brighten her room. Stuffed animals, rare coins, pennants, comic books ... What was dear to your heart? Prized Possessions 21

Fashion Parade Preppy? Western? Casual? Sophisticated? Which one described you? Many students and teachers mirrored these different styles. The “prep was dressed in Izod shirts, cheeno pants, and the casual deck shoe (of course with no socks!) For the Western look you would have worn close fitting Levi jeans, cowboy boots, a western shirt, vest, and the ever popular cowboy hat. The casual look started with knickers, a sweater, knee high socks, and loafers. For the sophisticated look, some dressed themselves in a skirt with a slit, a silk blouse, and a matching blazer. For the guys, fashions were a little more dressy for the prep including blazers, sweaters, vests, and wool pants. For the casual look, he would wear jeans and a sweater tied around the shoulders. A three piece suit with a tie would complete the sophisticated look. Logo's were also very important to some with Jordache, Gloria Vander-built. Chic, and the ever popular Calvin Klein. Shirts were insigniated with the dragon, fox, penguin, and of course, the alligator by Izod. Some students just could not be seen without the name brand logo; others could have cared less. See you later, alligator! Sporting the preppy look with boat shoes, oxford shirt, and a loosely worn Izod sweater. Senior Tony Smith shuffles through an L.L. Bean Catalogue. Just a fad? Friendship pins decorated boat shoes as well as Nikes, displaying the spread of the latest craze. Jenny Perzee goes for the preppy look, as Miss Parish chooses to be sophisticated.
