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

The Wave of the Future 1Seee Showing Off One of the most impressive things about our school is the level of educa- tion that students can get only at TJHSS T. For example, during 1986 freshmen took math on the level of multivariable calculus, something most high school students have never even heard of. Freshmen swept the spring Fairfax County Science Fair, winning 9 of 11 first place awards for each of courses taught on a higher level than most high schools. Seniors racked up over one and a half million of scholarships to the best universities in the country. Principal Ray Volrath described it as “absolute- ly amazing.” With statistics like these, TJHSS T is earning its keep in the Fairfax County schools system, and proving its worth financially. That just goes to show that it pays off, to show off. by Mike Widener To the biotech lab we go Shaking assays to and fro.
