F lndividuality shows from all classes at LC with Clothes of all styles l985. After years and years of differ- ent fashions, what new ones could pos- sibly be created? At LC, students found that practically anything went. From bright spring neons to the usual basics, students mixed their clothes for their own look. l'One can really tell what music one is into because they dress like their idols. lt also shows their tastes and dislikes, too, freshman Tiffany Tucker noted. New fads also entered the scene in the fall. Ankles popped out from under- neath cropped pants in all colors. Donned in Dad's old cardigan, girls mixed up the style and wore them back- wards to enhance their tan and to add individuality. When the spring line came out, bright florescents were mixed and matched to make all eyes blur. All who wore them seemed to try to outdo the other by see- ing who could create the wildest look. l-lats became vogue in the fall also. While it was all right for girls to wear them, guys broke the rule and attended school adorned in their favorite fedora. Often it was the style worn in the '4O's, reinstated into society by movie charac- ter Indiana Jones from llRaiders of the Lost Ark . The most catching fad had to have been a v-neck 'lAbitare sweater from Forenza, a division of The Limited Cloth- ing Store. Over-sized and bulky, practi- cally everyone who wore them looked smashing. As styles for girls always change more often than guys, this year was no excep- tion. However, some new styles became Hin and gave their own look for men. Flanges and mesh ornamented some jackets. l-lots were worn with anything from parachute to baggy pants. Polos were replaced with bulkier wool sweat- ers when the winter wind hit, and cow- boy boots began to make their come- back when worn with nice sweaters. Le- vi's still reigned as the most popular jean while oxfords and polos were also worn the most. As fashions change so do people. One junior, Jodie Richter, had one sug- gestion when buying clothes. lll think the new fads tend to hide people's fea- tures. They cover up their true personal- ity, One must be careful to buy clothes that they really like, and not just get it because everyone else has one. 'z-. Q 94h-197 this .fl'3o. if 1. fl i.

Hershel Reed Accessories were an important part of the 'llook some students were trying to attain. Beaded neck- laces, bracelets, and double belts were a must to a lot of outfits. Styling mousse and gel were used to add the llwet look. 6 Fashion

Trips and get-togethers were many ways students of LC spent their Two week Christmas Break l-lolly, presents, and church are just a few of the things that remind people of the international holiday of Christmas. This year at LC, students received two weeks off at Christmas from Dec.2l to Jan. 7, spending time with family and friends. Some students found that finding things to do over eighteen days wasn't hard. There were sport practices, par- ties and vacations. There were also se- mester finals to worry about when one came back to school, and some stu- dents even had research papers due upon their return. ul had a lot of homework and it was hard to enjoy my vacation since most of my time was spent at the library, junior Jim Worrell commented. Some students joined together to march to a different drummer over Christmas break. The Southwest lowa l-lonor Marching Band of 235 strong, l 7 Many friends got together to spend time at Christ- mas as seniors Jane Peterson, Ed Tedesco, and Lisa Leinen show. One way Christmas was celebrated by friends was at the traditional senior Christams dinner where students brought food from home for a buffet. 8 Christmas ofwhich were from LC,went to Dallas to march at the Cotton Bowl Parade. They also toured the city and went to the Cot- ton Bowl game where they saw l98-4 l-leisman Trophy winner Doug Flutie play. Other students attended Christmas parties and spent a lot of time with friends. uSome friends and I went ice- skating. It gave us the chance to get together over vacation without the school setting. ljust wished it would hap- pen more often, freshman Erin O'Con- nell noted. But as time always goes by, so did Christmas break, and with it came school. Two weeks seemed long, but when school commenced, it was all over. l-low did students like the long break? lllt was fun while it lasted, but when you're having fun you don't think of coming back to school. I had a hard time trying to get myself to work on my Eng- lish paper. lt doesn't help when you have a huge report due during your va- cation! junior Paula Laughlin summa- rized.
