Anything Goes Styles and fashion at North Fort Myers High School constantly changed with the social trends. Through the twenty-five years at North, styles changed with every year, just as the people who wore them also did. Twenty-five years ago when North's doors first opened, it was the day of the hippie. Long straight hair, Go-Go boots, peglegged trousers, the mini skirt, madras shirts, penny loafers, black leatherjackets, letter sweaters, and greased back hair were all popular in the oO's. The 1970's changed a little with wide ties and the double breasted suit. Hairstyles were still very long. Lapels on jackets were wide, white shoes and belts were popular. Style Hemlines were still short as the mini skirt was in, and then gradually they came down. Bell bottom jeans, leisure suits, and wire rimmed glasses were the rage. Then came the 1Q8O's, when we got into a new and ever changing world of fashion. First, came the preppie look: izod shirts, plaids, penny loafers, short levis, sweaters, polo shirts and deck shoes. Next came the punk rock look: mini skirts and plastic shoes could be seen cluttering the halls of the Red Knight family. Checkered shoes and short hair with a tail was next to be seen. During our silver anniversary, striped jeans, short pants and fluorescent colors started to crowd the hallways, Greens, - oranges, and yellows were the main colors. They were bright, they do stick out in a crowd, and were great attention getters, as well as slip on shoes, and knit tops. As some styles changed, there were those that have remained the same. The redneck or country look, will never go out at North High. Students came adorned with western shirts, belts, levis and boots. Fashion trends came and went. ln the halls of the Red Knight family one would see many different and sometimes strange clothing from generation to generation of Knights. That is one reason the Pied Knight family is not ordinary. The variety of fashions correspond with the variety of types of people.

One of the top rated movies of Red Knights was The Terminator. Red Knights could be seen at the popular Colonial theaters. Highly Rated One of the favorite activities of Red Knights on weekends were the movies. Movies were one of the biggest means of entertainment for teenagers. Whether it was with a group of friends or with a date, one always had an evening of excitement at the movies. Some of the popular movies of this year were Ghost Busters, Romancing the Stone, Purple Rain, and Teachers. They ranged from comedy to horror to romance. With settings of high schools, islands, and outer space. Movies Movie theaters were located all over Lee County. The price for a movie ranged from fifty cents at North's-side Drive ln, to 54.50 at the Bell Tower. Another means of entertainment for the students was the watching of music videos. MTV, the television station of the eighties, was watched on TV instead of your regular channels. You could catch your favorite rock stars such as Michael Jackson, Billy Idol, and Pot Benatar, moon walking across the stage, power hitting you with their best shot. Other popular pay television movie sta- tions were HBO, Showtime, and Cinemax. lf you didn't want to spend money at a movie theater, you could wait until the movie came on one of these stations. Some areas of North Fort Myers weren't able to get cable stations yet, and Cape Coral just recently received Cablevision. Watching the movies on TV was the most inexpensive means of entertainment. Money was sometimes scarce to Red Knights so the cheaper form of entertain- ment was preferred. , :m. i l l 5 i i 4 i l 5 3 i l a r l I I i l
