Fashion and Cars Pace-setting trends. hat did one get when one crossed V Daddy's huge shirt, some old faded ans, a belt and some last minute :welery with a bit of imagination? IHAMO!!! Instant fashion was the result. Imagination was the main key to ishion. Whether shooting for the loose, 'orn, comfy look or sticking with the lways popular sophisticated preppy tyle, the one thing common to every 'tyle was creativity representing in- iividualism. Most guys at Klein do not 'orry about fashion, rather how comfor- ble the clothes are. lndividualism is a iajor factor in choice of clothes, com- iented senior Paul Reilley. For something a little different, .udents could always dress up like a usic star. Fashion lines carried clothes Csembling styles made popular by ingers such as Michael Jackson, Boy ieorge, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna and more. Returning to the halls of Klein was the preppy look achieved by putting on a polo shirt, nice slacks and top siders. This layered look also included expensive clothes straight out of Vogue garnished with lavish jewelry. Another object that played an impor- tant part in students' lifestyles were cars. A means of transportation was needed for various reasons such as jobs, school and maintaining a social life. While most students showed up with the family car or a truck, the hot item among students were the updated sports cars. Mercedes, Z-28s and 300 ZXs were among the favorites. I may not have the most lux- urious car, but it does the job and l couldn't survive without it, explained Susan Yang. Whether in school or out, fashionable clothes along with affordable cars played a noticeable part around campus.

28 House Bill House Bill An upgrade in the system. i 44, , 4 4 ou are kidding, aren't you? That was the response that swept cross campus to the announcement of the new grading scale and stiffer requirements, in- troduced in new statewide educational laws. The tangle of House Bills and updated curriculum meant one thing - a school of students with their noses so deep in books that they were about to suffocate. Because of a five point increase in the grading scale, a sixty-nine average now failed a student. To graduate, the Klein District required a stringent transcript which left students buried in homework. ln order to acquire an advanced transcript, one had to brave at least three years of Mathematics, four years of English, two years of a foreign language and one year of Computer Math. The less rigorous general transcript was in- tended for students who plan to end their education when they walk out of Klein's doors. Of course, more homework involved 3 - - , . , w .- A-Q fl:-st.
