The Wave of the Future is... FOOLING AROUND Ronald Nelson III and Linus Knip- Be as ae ling storm into their Bionarcotic- robotics class five minutes early. as y Eagerly, they snatch up their radioisotopal meters diabolical gauges, and other essential goodies. Ronald grabs the neccessary chemicals from the containment vault, as Linus adjusts his galvanized double-framed trifocal lensed glasses. The two boys rejoin at their lab sta- tion, and begin to execute the fifty- seven part procedure that they had memorized the night before. To anyone who has never been to Thomas Jefferson High-Tech before, this would seem like a typical class. They can’t even believe that we have gym, or even (God forbid ) sports. Ex- cept for a precious few of us there is more to life than 32,000,000,000-bit computers. Even though our classes allow little time for fun, we do manage to enjoy ourselves. Don’t get me wrong, a protein assay is not my idea of a partying time, but more like trying to reach a thirteen-foot flame on the bunsen burners, or having a competition to see who can knock over the most dividing cones during Driver's Ed. So, to all of you people who think we are straight out of “Revenge of the Nerds”, check us out, we might just change your mind.

The Wave of the Future is... FADS-N-FASHIONS Fads and fashions this year ranged - anywhere from designer hi-tops to home made jewelry, As for the shoe department, no matter what the brand, Reebok to Converse, hi-tops were an essential for everyone. Girls this year really knew how to turn some heads by wearing over- sized sweaters, tight skirts, and layered socks all in brilliant hues. The 60’s look was back, only a little up- dated with sleeveless dresses and skirts and pants rolled upto mid-calf. We all like to be “in”, but how do trends and fashions get started? One determining factor is the entertain- ment and sports industries. For exam- ple, the “aviator” look from Tom Cruise, or, from Jim McMahon, the punky quarterback and his many 12 sunglasses. Another way a trend gets started is by someone wearing something total- ly odd, like Loudoun County students did by attaching the pull tab on Coke cans to paper clips and wearing them as necklaces. Friendship bracelets made from embroidery thread were another popular piece of jewelry for -girls-and guys, too. With all the new trends from week to week it’s amazing how anyone can keep up. It’s just another little way of keeping cool. A ‘do’ such as this we confide Is a sign of our times worn with pride’ Re ee a Eee |s if mousse, glaze, or gel? No one can tell! Perhaps . . . it’s just... . petrified. Sophmore Tom Song Cee enn ne nn rarEnnnnnE IEE nnnraninEi aE REnSEnCRnEEIEI
