1986 Has Its Own Individuality The 80's were a time of many changes. They had no fixed pattern of student behavior or trends. The scenes of student rebellion and picketing for causes was not seen, as students in the 80's were less radical. In the halls of Niles North sayings that were heard in 1985-86 were: “You look maaavelous ; gross ; or don't have a cow . Bopping to the music at basketball bashes, going to games, or just walking through the halls of Niles North gave students the opportunity to see and com- pare what the rest of the students were wearing. Girls opted for the permed me- dium length hair, sometimes swept up in colorful butterfly clips. Clothes in vogue ranged from bold, colorful plaids to the soft pastels with oversized sweaters and long shirts worn untucked, topped with long strands of faux-pas pearls. Guys started the 1985-86 school year with sleeker styles in their mousse styled hair and classier clothes to keep them in style. The fashionable male at North might be seen in dress pants, rather than the old Levis, and wearing evening dress shoes rather than the worn Nikes. Even the football players jumped into the spotlight of the fads when they sported crew cuts this fall. Fads also included favorite places to hang out. The steps in the Arcade lead down to the deli. In the 80s some student fashions swung to the radical side of punk. Tim Allen shows Heather Rearick his art project. AVWVao-, Wp gft 10 — Student Life
