Keeping up with the scene When a student was asked her opinion of the 79-80 fashion scene, she commented that very bright colors were the turn on during the year even though some wanted to turn off the glare. The preppy look came on strong with oxfords, wide wale cords and penny loafers worn by girls and boys. SKYR turtlenecks worn with a cardigan, blazer or under a pullover sweater were seen all over school. The vogue look settled on a few in the guise of large belts over sweaters, fitted jeans, stylish dresses, and straight skirts with slits on the sides or front and back. Decked out in the prep look, Jeannine Atalay wears wide wale corduroys, button-down oxford and a car- digan — a popular combination throughout winter. 20 Fashion The comfort of jeans!

I'll tell you later.” “Boy, that test was hard; | don’t think I can take Latin anymore.” The halls became the place for gossip, lovers, telephone conversations, making up tests, and of course going to lockers. “Oh, oh, there goes the bell. I'm late!” When the bell rang to dismiss class the halls seemed to come alive with laughter, noise, and banging locker doors, but as the tardy bell rang t he halls became deserted and silent as the last few stragglers raced to class. During the Christmas season the halls took on a new personality. The Spanish Club sponsored a door decorating contest. First place honors went to FBLA while the newly formed Ecology Club grabbed second. The Key Club added to the festive mood by decorating a Christmas tree in the main lobby. 22 Student Life 7:30 am and the new wing is already bustling. A freshman gets his books for the day.
