6 Opening Different Spices It takes all kinds: athletes and fans, cheerleaders and followers, class geniuses and class clowns. Every personality makes a contribution to school life, creating a blend that is unique and tasteful only to those who are a part of it. Lexington students gave of their time, talents, and, most of all, themselves. They strove to make each day a success, whether for personal or school gain. Teamwork within the school resulted in raising money through candy sales to help pay school expenses, the capturing of the 3A, Area 13 Football title, and the construction of several floats and decorated cars for the homecoming parade. DURING the homecoming parade, seniors Angie Bolen and Valeric Stout throw candy from the SAE car driven by Rebecca Howard. ONE OF THE privileges of serving as flower girl and crown bearer is riding in the parade. Though the weather was dreary. Kim Ledlow and Todd Sullivan take advantage of a halt in the rain by perching on the back of a convertible driven by Sonia Corum. MANY students enjoy their first look at the 86' BEARER at the annual staff signing party.

8 A N Fad Walking down the mall, I couldn’t believe my eyes. People of all ages were actually wearing shirts advertising Coca-Cola products and Swatch watches. I know what you’re thinking. Big Deal! Right? I mean, you say people wear t-shirts like this all the time. This is where you are wrong. These shirts weren't your average t-shirts. They w'ere dressier. They even had collars and button down necks. I saw people in all places wearing these shirts. They were not only wearing them with blue jeans, but dress pants as well. I even spoke to some merchants in a few major depanment stores and found out these shins were the ’’hottest’’ items on the clothing market for the summer of ’86. Boy, when I heard that I made my purchase and bought one for myself. Coca-Cola shins and Swatch shins were not the only popular clothes wear of the year. Guys wore baggy pleated pants, blue jeans, suspenders, and jazz shoes. The clothing range broadened for girls apparel. Mini-skirts by name brands such as Santa Cruz and Espirit were a high point in the ’dressy look’’ for girls. Both boys and girls alike enjoyed the many bright checks and plaids and geometrical designs. As the times change so does fashion. Mica Balch commented, One day I’ll have an outfit on and before I know it something totally different comes in style. Even some of my mom’s clothing from her teenage years have made a comeback.’’ WEARING baggy pants with sweatshirts and button downs arc one of the latest fashion trends as shown by Brian Tipper and Jimmy Britt.
