Have You Ever Wondered Idiosyncrasies. Those things in life that just don't make sense. The puzzling events of life that defy logic. Questions like: If Darwin said that man evolved from apes, then why are there still apes? Why is it that we drive on parkways and park on driveways? Why is it that your mother tells you to keep it up when you do something she doesn't like? Our school was full of idiosyncrasies like these. Oddities like: Why was the biggest kid in school a Freshman? And who was on the committee to decide the shapes of the school's french fries.

Spirit fits the fashion ennedy clothes hat should I wear today? A question on the mind of every student at JFK. Each morning the terrible decision had to be made. Maybe some Girbauds and Generra. or Levis and a sweater. Perhaps it was Guess for the day. You couldn’t decide. Then, an inspiration hit. You raced to the closet and pulled out a worn sweatshirt with the golden name of Kennedy emblazoned on it. That and a pair of jeans was your attire for the day. As you burst through the front door and ran over people, you noticed similar sweatshirts on other students. But you didn't care, because you wore Kennedy Sportswear ... and the more students that wore them, the better. Kennedy Sportswear. Not an official brand of clothing, but a popular one nevertheless. Durable, casual, comfortable. These garments appealed to all. even to the fashion-uptight freshmen. Students dressed in Kennedy Wear covered a wide range of personalities. From the athlete psyched up to obliterate a rival, to the Kolleen gearing up for a tournament, to the devoted hockey fan. or to the Foreign Language student stating a preference for German ... Kennedy Wear dominated the halls. But whether you were an athlete or a fan. whether you had an elaborate sweatshirt with matching sweatpants and accessories or a simple tee. it didn’t matter. The Kennedy clothes fitted you and fitted you well. Supor Jock? Well. Maybe not. but junior Kyle Christopherson uses bis professional modeling skills to show samples of Kennedy wear. It was easy to buy these clothes. Some were sold in school, while others could be bought at local sporting goods stores. The styles ranged from sweatsuits to t-shirts. Cbthes 21 ]
