8 S tudent Life ts! Still a fashion favorite. Junior Lee Test ars her paw-printed Auburn shirt FASHION — a seven letter word that can mean the difference be- tween success or failure, accep- tance or rejection. For most stu- dents, what is worn to school is given much more time and contem- plation that what actually goes on at school During the 1986-87 school year, the latest word in fashion must have been EVERYTHING! Anything from brights to pastels and from jeans to lace seemed to fit. Each person could dress as he she pleased and still be completely ‘‘in style.” What’s The Rage? Fall favorites included oversized sweaters and shirts, Guess® jeans, oxford shirts with thin ties, and tank tops. In addition, Coca-Cola’s® new line of clothing became a big hit, as did safari and jungle prints. Others chose to dress more conservatively, sporting their favorite concert or OP T-shirts. Students who had been at summer camps also brought back a new fad — embroidery thread bracelets. This new jewelry became “the rage’’ this fall because they were inexpensive to make and fun too. Spirit also seemed to dictate the 1986 fashion rules. For example, many people wore sweatshirts that showed their support for their favor- ite college team. However, local spirit started a new fad among the varsity football players, too. Several of the team members had stri pes, their football numbers, or lightning bolts cut into their hairstyles. When asked why, senior Chris Bomar re- plied, ‘| guess | did it to bring more unity to the team. ’

The counselors who had more fun than the campers? The bugs that swarmed around the cold lake early in the morning just before a daily swimming lesson? Some may re- member, but some students did not have camp to worry about. Many people had a less frivolous vacation. Hoy Hughes, for instance, worked at Hardee’s in Calera to pay for “his half'’ of his car. Hoy’s work experience was anything but pleas- ant as he remembers trying to ex- plain to his boss how he locked him self in the freezer one night. Of course Hoy wasn't the only one who had a rather disastrous summer. Eric Rochester recalls what started out as a pleasant family boat ride off the coast in Destin, Florida, and ended up as another voyage of the Titanic.

Hours later they were washed back up on the beach, but the boat was pounded to rubble by the surf On a lighter note, Sophomore Jennifer Lawley and Junior Shawn Johnston had exciting summers as Jennifer toured England and Shawn enjoyed a leisurely cruise to the Ba- hamas with his family.
