Many of the long lost styles from a decade ago made their reappearance in the fashion world. Fashions from the early 70's, such as mini skirts, recently became popular. Due to the wide variety of styles available, people had a greater freedom of choice when choosing what.to wear. Doing your own thing was the order of the day in fashion. The styles were bold and each individual cre- ated a unique appearance. Walking down the hall a person might have seen anything from mini skirts and knickers for girls to pin striped suits and designer jeans for guys. A few punk-rockers even made their way into Versailles. There were still many people who enjoyed the preppy look of penny loafers and split skirts. It seemed true preppists would never die. Two new styles, the doctor and the army look, were introduced. Many people liked to be seen in army pants with a dominant green color. Surgical shirts were also very popular. New fads were also started. The unicorn became a popular animal with unicorn pins, buttons and posters seen everywhere. “Deely- Bobbers , which consisted of a head band and two springs with various objects attached to the ends of them, also became a new fad item. The styles were rapidly changing at Ver- sailles in 1982-'83. The guys and girls enjoyed trying new and different clothing styles during their high school years. ... Henry Fonda died ...

The Senior Year ... a year of decisions. One of the most important decisions- college. The process of choosing a college to attend was a continuous one. it began long before the senior year. Students were flooded with mail from schools looking for prospective students. Tests such as the ACT and SAT needed to be prepared for and taken. Precious days in school were sacri- ficed” to enable students to visit colleges which interested them. Scholarships and fi- nancial aid forms had to be filled out and sent in before the rapidly approaching dead- lines arrived. It seemed as though the list of things to do would never end. But finally, the long list of prospective colleges was reduced to only two or three. Applications had to be sent in and then the waiting and wondering began. Of course, some students didn’t exper- ience the same anxieties. For them, college was not the answer. Instead, they chose to work full-time immediately after graduation. But they. too. had a difficult task to accom- plish. The process of looking for that perfect job was sometimes very discouraging. But for those with enough determination to keep searching, the process was very rewarding. Soon they were earning enough money to be self-supporting and no longer needed to de- pend on others. The senior year was a time for deciding about college, but it was also a time for learning. It was a time when students could see how well they would perform when faced with important decisions. It was a difficult time, but it was only the beginning of the many decisions to be made. Decisions concerning our present, our future, and our- selves. 1: Helen is living proof that some seniors do take time to study. 2: Rodney studies his chemistry in computer science- Seniors 9 ..
