With the new year came a new addition to Center Road. A high school whose colors were green and white, whose teaching styles were labeled “liberal”, whose unusual geometric design was con- sidered “futuristic”, and whose students | would be known as the “Commanders”, the Commanders of Dwight David Eisenhower High School. The ten year anniversary of Eisen- hower High School was celebrated in January of this year. The first decade was one of searching for ways to establish the foundations on which traditions are built. And, as the school community is swept into the second decade, establishing and adding to these traditions seems to be the path it will follow. The traditions of excellence in sports; setting standards for academic achievement; and the loyalty of students and alumni to the school. “A perfect 10” is an applicable theme to this year and this yearbook, with the understanding that “perfect” does not mean the best, but perfect in the sense that there is a constant striving for per- fection; that Ike, its students, and its staff have made it through 10 “trial” years; and, most important; the hope Mr. Larsen drops by the Open House to take a glimpse that the best is yet to come. at past activities. ren. oc Opening 2

Calvin Klein and Gloria Vanderbilt began to appear on the tailor made straight leg designer jeans that began to take over the once Levi's only territory. The cowboy began to migrate east- ward and can now be seen in every town | and city as the old west became suddenly fascinating. And now as we enter a new decade, the contrasting styles are sometimes mind boggling and one can dress in almost any style and still be in fashion. Yes, fashion is a mirror, one that can often accurately judge the mood of the clothes buying public. m At Eisenhower students, Dan Stengert, Maria fashionable set.
