' 7 ' IN? — ©MT8 Trends! They are anything from clothes to slang. They always seem to be the “in thing, but they never stay around long. The most popular trend, and usually the quickest to go, is clothing. “In this year were stone-washed jeans, socks over the pants, over¬ sized shirts and fringed jackets. Slang always gets lots of laughs. The most used terms this year were “What’s up?” and “It ain’t easy bein’ cheezy!” In hairstyles, boys and girls this year seemed to be letting their hair grow longer. “I roll out of bed and throw my hair on top of my head,” said senior Jenny Mathias. While everyone seemed to be following trends, once in a while, there was someone who was just a little bit different. He seemed to set his own trend. “I wear, speak and do what I like. If it’s a trend, OK; if not, all the better,” said senior exchange student Bettina Kluge. Jennifer Morrow Up and Away Combs were an easy way for Jen¬ ny Mathias to put up her hair in the morning. The result was attractive and in”. On the Fringe A jean jacket with fringe com¬ pletes the outfit for Jennifer Smith. @ Trends

Old and new — The combination marks the end of a rood 1 1 seems unusual that a ceremony marking the end of something should also have a new look to it, but Commencement 1988 accom¬ plished both tasks. The event, of course, marked the end of four years of high school for over 200 seniors but it also marked a return to an older tradition giving the afternoon a new, more tradition¬ al aspect. The honor of being vale¬ dictorian, was bestowed on Nadine Brindley and Melissa Scheidt for having earned the highest grade point averages over four years. Sandi Woodke was honored as sa- lutatorian for having earned the sec¬ ond highest grade point average of the graduating class. For many years, Lowell only designated an Honor Section, seniors earning a 3.5 grade point average or above for years, and did not award the top honors. The tradition of senior speeches, however, did remain with Nadine Brindley, Brian Moser and Melissa Scheidt being chosen to address the crowd. The topics of their speeches centered on the future now stretching before each gra¬ duate. In addition to the student ad¬ dresses, Pastor Roy Reaber of Range Line Community Presbyte¬ rian Church gave the invocation and benediction. Reverend John Wortinger of First United Meth¬ odist Church was the Baccalau¬ reate speaker. The Class of 1988 left behind their mark on LHS, even down to the final ceremony.
