ALLIGATORS, designer jeans and button downs were still in style as juniors Yolanda Palmer, David Archie, and sophomores Angie Hicks and Yolanda Wilkinson demonstrate. BELTED SWEATERS and a semi-dressed up look were also popular this year as worn by seniors Hedy Schiller and Michele Heaphy. CONCERT AND PRINTED T-shirts were still a common sight in our halls and have almost become a “classic”. Fashion highs F ashion was brought to a new level this year. For once, we became creative with our attire and designed intriguing and unconventional styles. Warm weather brought stripes, dots, checks, and the “flash dance” look to our halls. This new look consisted of any T-shirt or sweatshirt we could attack with a pair of scissors. Tastefully done sleeves and necklines fell victim to this “anything goes” look. “The only problem I had with my cut shirts was that I couldn’t keep them on my shoulders. They kept falling off,” said junior Charlotte Stacey. Pants were seen in all lengths and printed long-sleeved T-shirts were also a common sight. Sweaters made a big hit this year. Belted, extra-long or layered, sweaters were a “must” in the feminine wardrobe. Lumber jack flan¬ nels and plaids also made a monumen¬ tal comeback this winter. Intriguing fashion didn’t stop at the ankles. Shoes played a major role in style. Vans and deck shoes have become classics, but it was the female population who got inventive. Short heeled pumps, classy sandals, and shoes made of all kinds of material could be seen in our halls and classrooms. Of course we didn’t stop our creative juices flowing with just clothes. Hair was a major fashion accessory in new lengths. Spiked, curly, short, or long, hair was worn in a variety of ways. The “surfers” showed style with the spiked layers, as did the “play boys” with their “almost nothing” hair cuts. Short and permed was fashion¬ able among the ladies as was a new version of the shag. We even saw a “Mohawk” or two trot down the hall. All in all, our new attire helped make us original, but at the same time in step with current fashion trends. Fashion 17
