hat ou see is what ou get Decisions, decisions! Stacey jainer chooses elf boots and legwarmers to go with her outfit out of a collec- tion of some of this year's new shoes. . FQ origestion - Cn.j state of shopping furiously at any storeg unusually acute during the month preceding school. Have you ever tried to get through the lines at Foley's in late August? Lord and Taylot's or Lerners? It is almost impossible! Everyone from the age of thir- teen to eighteen is stuffed into the junior departments of the malls for miles around. This says a lot about this generation's priorities. Fashion has always played a big role in the lives of teenagers. It is a key to people's personalities. The way a person dresses shows what he is likeg you can tell a lot about someone's personality by the clothes that he or she wears, commented German Berbel. Peer pressure often confines the clothes that a stu- dent wears. In other words, it is not too often that so- meone shows up at a school dance in double knit. Although some of the more outdated fads are not usually seen around campus, individuality still plays a big part in the way everyone dresses. This in- dividualism is shown through the wide variety of trends that are visible at school functions and even off-campus where some of the students tend to be more daring. With all the different fads, people are showing that they are unique. I think it is great, said Lewis Goins. Disregarding peer pressure, there remains still another policy which definitely restricts some of the more unique fashions. The dress code insists that cutoff shirts are out of the question. In addition, all mini-skirts must reach the mid-thigh length. Even so, it seems as if our school has moved up a notch on the fashion scale. You never used to see anyone at school wearing the newest fads, but now it is hard to walk down the halls without seeing someone in a pair of parachute pants, a mini-skirt, or a jumpsuitf' claimed senior Teresa Maywald. Tammy Carnell, Heath Exlerab, and Sheila lfngnehs model the latest - parachute pants and flashy tees . fashion

la time Although most high school students have been roller skating at least once or twice, Rocky Martinez, a competitive skater, has skated since the age of eight. Even though the sport is very expensive, time consum- ing, and debilitating, it has paid off well for Rocky. She has won a gold medal, two silver and a bronze as well as numerous trophies. But most important she is ranked in the top ten regionals. She has also been on television once! But with a serious expression she says, I think that it's worth the trouble, time and money I have put into it because I enjoy the competition and victory. Senior German Berbel participates in a unique sport, scuba diving. He started about six months ago, and is now working on his dive masters program. Ger- man said with remembrance, My first diving ex- perience was out in Canyon Lake. It was a moment of tension and anxiety because I didn't know what was going to happen. German encountered a strange event which happened at Lake Travis while diving ap- proximately eighty feet under water. When we hit eighty feet everything went black. You could not see a hand in front of you. Everyone got lost so we had to surface. We still haven't figured out why everything went dark on us! German had also been able to travel to Cozumel in Mexico and Roatan in Honduras. Dur- ing the summer German hopes to teach scuba diving as a summer job. Hopefully, German stated We will have a scuba team at our own school next year! Who can be seen at Costa's Gym four times out of the week? Body builder Lourdes Labrada who has been training consistently for about a year now. Con- trary to some opinions, Lourdes feels body building has affected her in a good way. Many people believe Sports that any girl who lifts weights is trying to build big muscles, and a lot of the time this is true, but the ma- jority aren't after this, exclaimed Lourdes. I work each body part twice a week. I don't work out with real heavy weight, but I don't go too light either. I think the most important thing is that you feel you are getting something out of it, and you aren't just mak- ing movements without any effort, stated Lourdes. Most important, she gets a lot of personal satisfaction from body building. Being a gymnast for about six years and always having someone to coach her, she en- joyed being able to train herself because she knows more than anyone else how far she can push her own body. Mr. Robert Dennison, one of our teachers, has a very exciting sport many would probably love to learn. It's windsurfing, which he has been doing for about two years. The sport started off expensively, but after buying the board, sail, and other necessities there was no other cost, except transportation to the oceans. I was taught to wind surf by some friends while I was vacationing at a lake in the Canadian Rockies. The water was very cold, so I was learning slowly and wearing a wetsuit. The wind took me across the lake a few times while I was learning, and my friends had to come rescue me in a boat. I also fell a lot at first. Mr. Dennison considers himself a pretty good windsurfer and said he enjoys himself immensely whenever he goes windsurfing. He happily said, It gives you an ex- citing feeling to windsurf because it's just you and your board fighting the wind. You really get a feeling of speed when hanging a few inches above the water at fifteen to twenty miles per hour. You don't have to be strong to do it, either! Senior Lourdes Labrada sits contently in chemistry class thinking about her afternoon weightlifting session. playtime sports
