5.-o AJ 44 Jeans J , L' -46.94 a-aff Jeans Cn Genes eans, a teenagers best friend. They're comfortable, can be worn anywhere and are wrinkle-free. remarked Sr. Laura Washington. lt's the same idea Levi Straus had in 1875 when he made the first pair of jeans out of sail canvas. Lee-ee-ee vis rr lee-ee-ee lee-ee-lee-ee vis became the first theme song for a Levi commercial more than a century later. As the years progressed, jeans made dramatic changes. ln the late 60's it was the flared bottoms that dragged on the ground until they were tattered and frayed. A few years later, the bell bottoms enlarged into a new breed, known as the elephant bottoms. To become a bit sexy, they hung off the hips and were simply known as hip-huggers Finally, Levis came out with straight legs and were split at the ankle seams in order to fit over those clumsy hiking boots. With tight straight legs, heels, and cuffs, a new trend began in the mid 70's. Calvin Klein, Gloria Vanderbilt, Vidal Sassoon, Britania, Pentimento, and Jorache were some of the popular, expensive jeans that included a status symbol of the designer's name on the back. Baggies, not the sandwich wrap you know, but jeans thin at the waist and ankles with bagged hips, were the 1980's newest fad. Since then jeans now have their own stores, commercials, companies, and songs. So hang onto your faithful friends. The trend on jeans changes so often that maybe those old hip-huggers will be back. tj Guess the Gateway students. 23 Soph.

An Enduring Tradition started by a man named, Charles duc D'Orleans, who was impri- soned in the tower of London on Feb. 14, 1415. To pass the time he composed rhymed love letters which he sent to his wife. The idea caught on, and soon the French-and most Europeans-were ex- changing similar notes, decorating them with gilt paper, hearts, and lace, a practice that was brought to this country by early English Settlers. Some countries spent Valentines differently. During the middle ages young European women would place their names in a box, and young men would wear the name of his Valentine, or sweetheart on his sleeve for the year. What did Valentine Day mean to you? Did it mean love letters from a secret admirer, or could it have been a big red Walentines Day was traditionally lacy heart. Soph. Kelly Seibert summed it all up as, a time to be with the one you love. Gateway's Junior class decided to celebrate Valentines by sending carna- tions that were purchased by one person and sent to another person, to show their feelings on that special day. Friday night, February 22, student Government showed us how to celebrate Valentines day by having a sweetheart dance, which was successful even if it was after Valentine's day. Valentine's Day was a very romantic time for most of the Gateway students. There were cards, carnations from secret admireres, and little special things from special friends. But no matter how old Valentine's Day gets, it will always be full of love and caring. tt 1J Fr. Laura Beard and Soph. Rosy Hinton discuss the possibility of winning the candy. 2l Sophs.
