lndividuality, choices mark fashion trends ndividuality was a key element in fashion at NCCHS this year. A person that wanted to be fashionable could choose from a wide variety of styles. Also, one could choose different looks g from the prairie look for girls to the preppy look, which was still popular this year for both guys and girls. Characterizing the prairie look were ruffly blouses and skirts or dressy pants. Colors ranged from pastels to deeper shades of burgundy and brown. Worn with these outfits were ballet slippers. The preppy look was distinguished by the traditional oxford shirts, Izod or Ralph Lauren polo shirts, sweaters, Cheeno's pants, blazers and topsiders or loafers. This style became more Fads 81 Fashion popular with guys, as a trend toward dressing up was evident. . Designer clothes were still being worn frequently in the form of jeans, shirts and dress pants. Punk-inspired clothes became prominent as a result of an anti- preppy movement. This style was highlighted by denim jackets, t-shirts and buttons with the names of punk groups or sayings printed on them. Mini-skirts and mini-dresses were a new and fun item that quickly caught on as many girls began wearing them. Mini-skirts in colors of bright red or black were the most prevailing styles. They could be found in stripes, solids or other designs. Usually worn with them were tights or legwarmers and flat shoes. The individuality in fashions came from adding on something that was distinctive, such as headbands, bandanas, belts, shoes or some other accessory. Triple-pierced ears were common among girls as another new fad. Earrings worn on multiple- pierced ears were dangling gold leaves, shells or any shaped dangling earring. Ear piercing became more common among guys also. This was an extension of the punk influence. Very short hair was a trend with both guys and girls. The tastes in clothing ranged from very casual and simple to creative and bold. There was no longer one certain way to dress. One experimelited with a variety of clothes, ach person finding something to suit his individual preferences.

24 Sports Here's looking at . . . SPDRTS Athletes find glory and defeat Every person that has ever participated in a school sport knew that to be involved in the sport was to accept having moments of glory and moments of defeat. It was just part of the game. To be an athlete, one had to realize that the two went together. Taking a close look at NCCHS,athletes revealed they accepted those aspects of sports and did not let the moments of defeat get them down. The defeats were all part of the learning. To be involved in a sport was to not only work hard, but also to have fun. Athletes learned to look at a mistake, laugh and learn from it. Here's looking at you, the athlete. Every athlete knew that it was not always just the individual, but many individuals working together to achieve a goal. Athletes also knew that besides winning and losing, another important aspect of sports was the mental and physical benefits derived from competition. The physical benefits were obvious. By running, swimming or tumbling, one became healthier and stronger. The mental benefits, however, were not quite so obvious. One learned how to get along with others, how to build confidence in one's self and how to set goals. The true athlete always set a goal that was constantly worked toward. Without a goal there would have been no motivation, no reason to better oneself. The goal may have been a small one, like getting one more basket, or a big one, like setting a record in the hurdles, but the big thing was to avoid discouragement and persevere.
