Reaching For More Than Just The Basics. Basic Skills, Mat 6, PSAT, ACT, And More. As far as the basic skills, a chosen few have risen above the rest by scoring higher on standarized tests such as the new MAT-6. PSAT, NEDT, and ACT. ln addition to these stu- dents. others have displayed their abilities in the writing workshop that was held at SAG. and the Saturday pro- gram at Monticello. ln order to meet standards. a yearly plan was drawn up for each school. Our open house in September made parents aware of the steps being taken Open house provided time for teachers to discuss issues with parents.

What's Your Style? Eclectic, Man, Eclectic! Some Old Standbys But Otherwise, Anything Goes! What's your style? ln today's society, anything goes! Whoever thought Coca- Cola clothes would become as popular as the drink? We've all caught the wave . and it is whatever you want it to be. ln the 60s. blue jean shirts. jackets. and skirts were the fad. Now. they are back. only with rhinestones and gems added. A touch of silver. either jewelry. shoes. or a purse. complete this look. We needed three swatches to tell the time and no one worried about shoelaces because they were gone! But somethings you never outgrow. Bobcat shirts. Mexican dresses. and high top tennis shoes stayed in and the money went out. The sloppy look was still in with bluejeans Qwith holes in the knees! and sweat shirts. Just like homework. there were some old standbys that stay around. On any given day at DHS. one could see dress up clothes. high heels. jeans. sweatshirts. long tailed shirts, and of course on Friday. lots of purple and gold. Most of all. you would have noticed the bright colors. The styles. like the colors. were different and even if sometimes they seemed to clash. they really fitted together to make for a look that was typically 1987 at D.H.S. - - i I. Sandra Banyard. Brian Moore. and Susan Millwood proved that purple and gold was always in at D.H.S. Long shirts. in lots of bright colors. were in fashion at D.H.S. Printed shirts were favorites with the guys. along with those good old standbys. tennis shoes. K5 12
