JEANS: A comfortable, casual favorite. Scott Valentine uses the ubiquitous jacket with the upturned collar, dark shades and the newly popular 5 o'clock shadow look to enhance his 501 Blues. FLASHDANCE REVISITED: Flashdancc met neon fora radical look. Tonya Hanson tops off a glowing pink blouse with sliced sweats. Buttons, bracelets and neon laces and to the total look. NEON: 84-85’s biggest, brightest fashion trend was undoubtedly neon, as 60s Day-Glo became 80s chic. Gwen Myers radiates in hot lime green, accented with checks and classic black pumps. LHS Is Fashion is always big news at LHS. This year there was a wide range of fashion for girls as well as for boys. As usual, girls look to jeans, as popular as ever. The cropped and stonewashed look was in, as well as striped, checked, and dotted denim, all in a variety of colors. Also, tee shirts with big messages like “FRANKIK SAY RELAX” or GO GO” were soon throughout the halls; oversized cotton tops were also in. The hottest items this year were the oversized V-neck Limited sweaters; and everywhere there were layers of bright neon colors: pink, green, orange, yellow and blue, glowing on socks, belts, pants, sweats and sweaters. A few passed on the “radical” look and stayed with pearls, cardigans and plaid. And let’s not forget the guys; their fashions also made news. Breakdance styles were popular, with parachute pants, wild breakin’ tops and laced-up high tops. Jean jackets were the usual hit, accompanied by “Risky” Ray Ban shades. Often bypassing rumpled camouflage gear, jeans and buttondowns, guys enjoyed dressing up in pleated pants and slim ties. And striped jeans were not for “girls-only.” All in all, fashions were very fun and exciting this year. 14 LHS Is Vogue

 «s Spring when snowflakes and minds melt into slush with a turn in the weather. Even with finals in the picture, student pursuits are likely to be baseball, pranks, and with the prom nearing, the opposite sex. All with sun in the forecast, scholars pass up essays in favor of a drive through Rising Park; and for the fortunate, a Spring Break in Florida. But spring is not all fun and games. Students do work - on the musical, the annual Mr. and Ms. LHSpageant, and well- waxed cars. And for every successful senior there is Graduation scheduled between the infamous roll sale and summer. A sublime experience for the relieved upper class, Graduation brings farewells from those who will never be quite the same. After all, LHS is a unique experience. LHS Is Spring 23
