doing your own thing Fashion played a large role in school life. Each student had his own original style. Labels such as prep , punk , geek , and trendy were often used to describe clothes, but these labels were rarely used to descibe the person. Paisley prints were just about everywhere. This unique shape was found on stirrup pants, sweaters, shirts, socks, and scarves. Floral prints in the boldest colors also made quite a statement. In shoes, the most popular was Reeboks, whether black hightops or white aerobic shoes. Lace- up shoes, cowboy boots, penny loafers, and spikes were an important part of fashion. Usually, the shoes were worn with colored socks and nylons. Large corporations such as Polo, GuCti, Bennetton, ESPRIT received free advertisement by designing rugby shirts and swe atshirts which prominently displayed their logo. A great variety of hairstyles was seen. More and more people showed their scalps with the help of shaving. The popular ducktail of the 50 ' s and go ' s, along with wiffles, were back. Many girls defied the laws of gravity by training their hair to stand straight up with helpful tools such as gel, mousse, and hairspray. Overall, the students showed just how creative they were by wearing the most outrageous outfits imagineable. Individuality was shown even by those people whom everyone had always considered shy and quiet. Juniors Michelle Horkan and Jim Jordan model the untucked shirt look along with wild boots and

1 an artful, crafty affair On Saturday, November 23, we held our annual Craft Fair which has been a tradition since 1982. This tradition was first started by the class of 1984, during their sophomore year. It has brought great success and profit to every class that has sponsored it. When Mr. Duffy was asked about the amount of money that the class of 1986 had made on this year ' s Craft Fair, he just smiled and said, We have accomplished all of our financial goals. A variety of crafts were offered at the fair, and most of them were handmade. The crafts were sold at tables which were rented for fifteen dollars each. The money that came in from the tables being rented went to the sponsoring class, while the money made at each table belonged to the individuals who sold the crafts. The Craft Fair was ' nt just an opportunity for the Senior class to make money but for the Freshman, Sophomore, and junior classes as well. If they wanted to, they could have rented a table and sold something to support their own class. The girls ' basketball team had a small section of their own; anyone who wanted their picture taken with Nedlam, our school mascot, could have it taken for one dollar. The Craft Fair was not just a fundraiser, but a place for people to enjoy themselves for the day. Everyone who attended appreciated the effort put forth by the participants. It gave students a chance to express their own creativity, and to enjoy the artistic works of others. Mr. Duffy holds the bucket filled with names of anxious people who are waiting to see who is going to win the raffle. Cheryl Cardarelli and Steven Kalman walk around the fair dressed as clowns livening the spirits and entertaining all who attended. 14 student life
