Fashion fads are big t didn't matter whether it was jeans, a dress, mini skirts or jump suits that you wore to school, you'd fit in. Instead of just wearing a sweatshirt with jeans, why not cut the sleeves and collar off and drape it over your shoulder, like the Flashdance style? The fashion of wearing what you wanted was really shown here at East High. jeans that were also very popular were pin stripe jeans, or jeans of different colors and different lengths. Mini skirts of jean material and of cotton in bright colors displayed the different moods of students. During the hot weather students' shorts styles ranged from bermuda shorts with the sweater vests and loafers to shorter shorts with a fancy top and pumps. Then there were some who really went all out with leather pants and skirts or shiny material for jumpsuits that went with the chain necklaces and large earrings. For the guys, the most popular jean was the one and only-Levis. They were mostly worn with a polo or an izod. Some guys were very particular about what they wore and how they looked. Many guys wore pants or nice jeans with a stylish dress shirt. Some guys followed the trend of getting one ear pierced, but usually the earring would come out a month or two later. The hairstyle for guys was mostly the short, clean cut, feathered back. Some guys, however, took to the punk style, short on top and a little longer in the back. For the girls, short or long hair and just the way you wanted to wear it was fine, with the bob coming back into style.

After school life varies as there life after school? What went on after the bell rang at 3 p.m.? What was done during the week and what about the weekends? After school students did anything from going home and cranking up the stereo for MTVD to spending time at parks or going on small shopping sprees. Many school functions were on school day evenings. Class meetings, poster parties, sports and sports practices took up students' time. jobs were also a major part of after school life. On the weekends students spent their evenings at school games, parks, movies and dragging Douglas. Day-time activities during the weekends included working, shoping sprees, cleaning rooms, watching early morning cartoons and attending church. No matter what students did with their free time, it never seemed to be enough, because the time went by too soon.
