• Back-to-school requires sfyle August began to draw quickly to a close as the realization of back-to-school shopping haunted students once again. New shoes, clothes and school supplies were a must for a year at the building on Green Road. Television commercials, brochures and newspaper ads ur ged students to buy Lee, Jordache, Calvin Klein and Sasson jeans at the price they could afford. Many students (armed with mom and dad ' s credit cards) did their shopping at Glen- brook Square and Southtown mall while oth- ers made their purchases at such places as Target and Value City. Nikes and jeans found their way into stu- dent closets once again this year. Guys and gals still wore the preppy look. Shetland sweaters, oxford and polo shirts and top- siders were some of the big sellers. WAKING UP in the morning takes a little getting used to. Barb Meyer begins her morning routine before she goes to school. Many girls began to lean toward the new fashions; Mini-skirts and legwarmers pro- vided a new wave look. The tuxedo-look in- fluenced detailed and ruffled blouses and bow ties. This look seemed to go over as big as the preppy look. A new hairstyle was not to be overlooked as part of the school fashion update ritual. Guys began to wear their hair shorter in the front and longer in the back. The popular Olivia Newton-John hairstyle began to make its influence as a few girls got the hairstyle with many more to follow. Notebooks, Bic pens and pencils were usu- ally bought at one of the local drugstores, such as Dan Purvis or Walgreen ' s. Getting ready for that first day of school seemed to take half the summer but to be in style seemed worth it. A NEW HAIRSTYLE may be necessary for an- other year at school. Brad Everrett has his hair cut at the barber in preparation of that first day of school. Back-to-SchooI— 11

TOO EARLY IN THE MORNING classes some- times tend to make one drowsy. Brian Kurek catches up on a little sleep during recordkeeping. School sometimes not so serious Cars filled the parking lot as the students began to arrive. Some students climbed into others cars to share a little gossip before the school day began. As 8:00 neared the people in the parking lot slowly shifted toward the doors of the school. Before school I like to sit in my car, listen to the stereo and finish a cigarette, said senior Brian Worden. Clusters of students began to form in the Commons discussing weekend plans, the day ' s tests and homework. Many students do different things before going to class. I usually sit upstairs by my locker and talk to friends who walk by in the hall, said Holly Raver, sophomore. We walk around the halls and sabotage HISTORY CLASS is a required subject that ju- niors must take. Craig Fox does his assignment as Dawn Kinney looks on. Mrs. Holt ' s classroom, agreed Curt Ester- line and Andy Police who are juniors. As the morning bell rang, the students parted separate ways, only to trudge to their first period classes. I ' m glad I have Parenting first period. I think if I had Government I couldn ' t keep my eyes open, said one senior student. The classes dominated the school day with a half-hour set aside for lunch which provided a needed break from the classroom curricu- lum. An activity period was optional for those who wanted to give up their half-hour study period. The school days sometimes seem as though they will never end, but as a person gets closer and closer to graduation the school days seem to get much shorter. I - CONCERT CHOIR is sometimes a bit less than serious. Seniors Beth Brockmann and Dawn Christianer take a break from singing.
