M lA : S 'H inspired camouflage, OP. T's and cropped shirts were the Top of fashion Everyone feels the need to be in at least once in their life and we were no exception. Students could be seen dressed in pedal pushers or ankle length baggy jeans. To top off the pants a shirt was often a sleeveless crop top. This was all a major part of the fast changing fashion scene. Another breakthrough was the varying length of pants and dresses. Pant and jean lengths went from mid-calf to above and below the ankle. Mini-skirts once again became a very popular fashion. Other new looks were the M A'S'H and beach looks. Students, generally guys, wore camouflage pants, hats and even tennis shoes. Ocean Pacific T-shirts along with baggy pants classified the beach look. When back to the basicsl' was mentioned, preps felt right at home. The preppy look was often layered and began with a Polo shirt. Oxford shirts were also popular and worn over the Polo. To keep up the preppy look dress slacks were also added. Senior John Blaney said, It's not really in the heart as much as the clothes. Itls just the look. The final touch on any well-planned outfit was the proper shoes. If an outfit was New Wave, color pumps or ballet flats were needed. A beach outfit required boat shoes or checkered vans For those who preferred the preppy look, penny-loafers or solid tennis shoes were chosen. These shoes, clothing and styles kept up the fashion. They became a part of our lives and memories and helped us through these . . . FAST TIMES 1- Shoes were an important part of every outfit.

Senior Jarrel Maurice joined in on the punk craze by having his hair cut short on the top. The fashionable car to be seen in was the '83 Camaro. Add-a-beads and bi-levels led us through this euer-changing Fad -ulous world Influences on us came from constantly changing fads. To keep up with the inn style, or make a fashionable out- fit complete, the newest fad had to be added. Unusual color combinations, designs and accessories largely made up each new fad. These colors were often worn in polka dots, stripes and solids. For those who were really interested in fast moving fads, hairstyles always provided a change. First came the punk', look. Hair was cut short on top and longer in back. Then came the bi-level, with hair raising to above the ear. The largest accent was placed on accessories. Friend- ship pins decorated everything from shirt collars to shoelaces. These pins were made by placing colored beads on safety pins. A decorative item for shoes was colored and designed shoelaces. Button earrings and an add-a-bead necklace were often seen on the fashion-conscious person. Other fads were feathers that hung from car mirrors, and bandanas worn around the neck, waist, and leg. Cars considered fashionable were the '83 Camaros and conver- tible Mustang. Fads provided a change for every look as they kept up with these . . . FAST TIMES i' 4 Fast Times
