' 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

c=£ %% It could be said that 1988 was a year of new faces and old names; miracles and horrors; and a bit of gossip that made everyone look towards the stars. The year started out well for a 16-year-old redhead by the name of Tiffany who found stardom by re-making an old ‘60s tune. After the release of, I Think We’re Alone Now”, she quickly reached fame and fortune and went on to release two more songs that smashed pop charts. Also in the music world, there were many comebacks that proved to be successful. George Harrison, a former Beatle member, known as the “quiet one”, made an incredible comeback with his album Cloud Nine” as did Gladys Knight, formerly of Gladys Knight and the Pips and Earth, Wind, and Fire. The death of Chicago Mayor Harold Washington from a sudden heart attack was a shock to many. Eugene Sawyer took over as acting-mayor to finish the term. It was also sad to see great legends die, such as silver screen stars Jackie Gleason and Fred Astaire. Then there was the miracle child, Jessica McClure. She fell down a 29 ft. well and survived. As if the White House already didn’t have enough pandemonium, former Chief of Staff Donald Regan had his book published which ex¬ posed Nancy Reagan’s “heavy dependency” on astrology. This led the nation to question some of the decisions that the President made. Were they his own or decisions of the stars? Something traditional that only happens every four years came around this year, the XV Olympics. Here were the athletes who have endured the trials of hard work and determination. These were not faces that we saw everyday but ones we had gotten to know throughout the year of ' 88.
