In deep thought, Mitch Weathers prepares to make a hole- in- one as Pat Nooren gives encouraging words. Picking the perfect pumpkin, Ron Pieri and Wendy Chynoweth search at Farmer Bob's Pumpkin Patch. ' . looked at it one of the strangest experiences life offered: going on display for a semi-stranger, spending an evening walking on egg shells, waiting with some degree of anxiety or anticipation for that stranger to make his or her Big Move, and then to spend at least part of the next day mentally reviewing everything that happened during the evening. Dating had to have been invented by some seriously deranged lunatic who found pain, embarrassment, and tension pleasurable. Still, on any Friday or Saturday night, high school students went out one more time, convinced that this would be their lucky night. It was, any way you VY' 2 YIIZII J 0 J' Ulgnngiz Il In couples or groups, students enjoy each other s company as theyfind ways to fill their evenin s HEDATINGG ME e ' sg Despite the general similarity of teenagers at large, dating itself, and the values and emotions that surround it, tend to evoke very different re- actions. Going out with a girl alone on a date really gives you a chance to get to know her better. People act dif- ferently around their friends and so you really can't get to know them un- less you date them alone, said Kelly Cady. This was a common reaction from guys, but some girls seemed to feel differently. I hate dating people I don't already know because I don't know what to say and I don't know anything about them, said Denise Oyler, junior. This was a sentiment shared by many of the younger students as well. The anxiety or anticipation felt during couple dates was sometimes so overwhelming that people refused to date alone. But this didn't mean they never dated again. Instead they found new ways. Group dates were very popular. These consisted of either all guys, girls, or a mixture of the two. Groups of daters could be found eating ice cream at local parlors or amusing themselves at nearby family fun cen- ters. It's a relaxing way to spend the evening because you never have to worry about impressions. You're being yourself and that's OK because that's why your friends like you, said Brad Davis.

Less formality and fewer definite, outrageous trends marked the fashion statement on campus. People are becoming more and more casual. They are more concerned with comfort than appearance. The high school student is more himself, not a clone, said Mike Norton, senior. The preferred dress became rugby shirts, jeans, sweatshirts, and tennis shoes. Girls wore skirts and pumps less and tended towards the more comfortable attire of jeans and tennis shoes. I like the new style because it's much more comfortable, said .1 -. P. 0 W Some students opt for comfort by Wearing sweatshirts and jeans While others follow tradition Bettina Wolbart. Even with this change to comfort and informality, people did not feel pressured to dress like the crowd. I think people should dress the way they want to dress, even if people laugh at them, said Kevin Bohatch. Sweats and jerseys became the typical dress of athletes and non- athletes alike. Students modeled a variety of Sweats including sweat- shirts from Del Campo teams and organizations, various colleges, and even the Hard Rock Cafe. I like to wear sweats because they're com- fortable. You don't have to worry when you wear them. And why not? said Nate Barnhart. Along with the desire to be comfort- able was the return of the conservative .1 'pf W S , I YTSJUSFIN j 4149. likflllilli ', ,,,, on n 11113011 Polo anyone?

The polo style shirt as well as Polo brand name clothing such as jeans, sweaters, jackets, socks, and even shoes appeared on several students. Polo is good quality clothes. They're not too trendy, but they're preppy. And I guess the name has something to do with it, said Derek Dykstra. A sweater and 501s went well with a pair of penny loafers. This look became more common. Penny loaf- ers are really comfortable. They look nice and they go with anything, said Patty Hallock. The pressure and need to be different all but vanished and dressing casually replaced it. I buy the clothes that I like, and then I wear them, said Charlotte Dills. . s i
