Z SUMMER | From Europe to the beach An inside look at some summer fun Whether it was visiting spotlight cities of Europe and the U.S., or a day at Warren Dunes, MHS students did what they could to make the most of their summer breaks. Sisters Jeanette and Jennifer Sears had the opportunity to tour Europe with the Midwest Touring Youth Symphony. Highlights included cob- blestone streets in Holland, the wine and pasta of Italy, treacherous speeds on the Autobahn, and, of course, the eccentric trend-setting fashions all over Europe. Karen Delaney spent time hiking in the San Juan Moun- tains of Colorado. With a giggle, Karen said, “‘It was great, but hiking with a 20 pound back pack was pretty difficult at times.”’ Let’s not forget about the ever popular lakes and beaches of the area, where getting tans and watching or wearing two- piece bathing suits seemed to be the biggest attraction. Karyn Armstrong was a regular at the Dunes over the summer. She often got up by 8 a.m. to get a good spot on the beach for the day. What was it that drew her there so early, and kept her there all day? Guys, Sunshine, and Scenery! “I lay on the beach covered with oil, watching all those bodies pass before me. It was HEAVEN!” said Karyn. Summer camps and workshops’ were plentiful. From basketball to journalism, Cross Country team members and coaches wait their turn during the 24 hour relay held to raise money for team uniforms and equipment. students had the opportunity to take part in something they not only enjoy but could benefit from too. Some ‘‘Monolith’’ and GENESIS staffers participated in the Indiana High School Journalism Institute at Indiana University and the Ball State University Journalism Workshop. Wendy Thiele, one of the staff members who took advan- tage of this opportunity, said she listened to lectures, took part in labs, and enjoyed the dorm life. Like most people who went somewhere over the summer, Thiele said, ‘‘It was lots of fun, and | made lots of friends.”

Stirrup pants, popular in the Six- ties, became a new look in the Eighties. Though basic black was a popular color choice, the pants, in- spired by the dance-fitness craze, became a versatile wear- everywhere style. Two of the biggest pattern trends were dramatic florals and plaids, decorating sweaters, pants, scarves, socks, and sweatshirts. Margy Adams models some of the articles of clothing in which paisley print appeared. Lace leggings with cropped pants, a shaker sweater, and pink huar- ches worn by Heather Smith show that the individual determined how styles were interpreted. Air Jordans named after basketball star Michael Jordan were the newest fad in athletic shoes. 15
