Methuen High School - Memories Yearbook (Methuen, MA)

Page 11 text:

Week Once a year, Methuen High School students display their school enthusiasm and loyalty during Spirit Week. Many stu- dents have hidden talents with respects to originality. This was obvious on Friday, Costume Day. There were seen such memor- able sights as the deadly Tylenol bottle, the unique Go-Go ' s and an assortment of questionable characters , many of whom were drawn from the ranks of the senior class. Monday was T-shirt Day, and even though we had cold atmospheric conditions inside the school, many students still continued to show their spirit. Next came Western Day, a day in which almost all the participation came from the girls. Besides the cowboys and cowgirls, there was even an Indian or two. Every- one came dressed appropriately for Preppy, Joe, or Hood Day, whether they tried to or not. There were a few interesting role-reversals, but most came dressed as hoods. Thursday was Favorite Pin and Hat Day. This was the calmest day, but there were some peculiar pins with unmentionable sayings. The week came to an end with Blue and White Day, and most students got involved on this day. The powderpuff football game was also planned for this day, but because of the rain, it was postponed a week. The game finally ended in a tie. G.N.

Here ' s Looking At You! Fashion ' 82- ' 83 The real world in fashion now is looking like you belo ng in your clothes. Today that ' s a snap, because there ' s an unconstructed, uncontrived ease about clothes that lets you look like you. Nothing screams fashion, everything just looks rich, real quality. Textures are beautiful, fabrics are gorgeous — and if it feels good, it looks good. Norma Kamali is one of the proponents of this look who has introduced women to the elegant way of wearing the new geometric designs. Her use of inexpensive materials, such as cotton, tends to look casual as well as classy. Looks receiving rave reviews at Methuen High, as well as throughout the country, are mini-skirts, that are enjoying a revival, leather and tuxedo en- sembles, tailored outfits and Ralph Lauren ' s much acclaimed Polo collection. Accessories are hot items ranging from larger earrings, pins and chokers to wide belts, skinny ties and even bow ties. Any of these can be inter-changed with a variety of outfits. Menswear, as always, remains attractive and uncluttered. The best part about it is now most components can be worn by both sexes. Popular items include suspenders, hats, oversized overcoats and blazers. Leisurewear is seen everywhere at any time of the day. Warm-ups can be functional and stylish at the same time. All in all, fashion has taken a change for the better. Whatever your choice, everything ' s classy and lived-in looking at the same time ... a very comfort- able set-up. N.B.
